Compost Bins

We made the pictured compost bins the weekend before last. We purchased 32/35 gallon animal proof Rubbermaid® trash cans from a hardware store and drilled 3 rows of holes down the can. The holes were drilled 4 to 6 inches apart. We also drilled a few holes in the bottom for drainage and air circulation. We had a ton of bricks, so we made a makeshift platform for smooth drainage and also for more air circulation. We might put the cans on a spinner at a later time. It will make it easier to turn the contents.
