Yesterday I went to Fresh Start Market to buy two compost bins. I've noticed more and more plastic in the compost I've been getting and decided it's time to make my own again. Unfortunately, they have sold out of the bins. But they did have some small bags of compost on sale for $1.50 each, so I bought ten. Then today I set to work making a compost bin. I have a roll of 28" fencing, so I made a circle with that. But the holes are big enough to allow critters (rats!) to get in, so I lined it with 1/2 inch hardware cloth. I secured it with three 2 foot rebar stakes. I still don't have a top on it, but I'm working on that, mostly to keep raccoons out. I have lots more fence left, so if I need to I can add a second level.
