Composting bin

Made with 3 entire pallets taken from work and pallet boards from an hvac delivery last summer.

 

The back pallet was tied with rope to the left and the right and I made a gate for the front. The front gate's held on by simple latches since I won't be swinging open daily. The right side is covered with chicken wire since I didn't have enough boards to cover the areas that an opossum could get through.

 

I made the gate at different heights just to be creative I guess. My cousin has my chop saw and the humidity has lead me to believe that accuracy doesn't really matter for something that will hold decaying matter. I did brace it with another pallet board at an almost 45 degree angle.

 

We'll see how this goes. Perhaps next year I'll do something more permanent.
