After 8 years of loyally composting - we have nothing to show for it. Unfortunately, we have tried a series of unfortunate experiments in composting piles that either got destroyed by bears or have been taken over by chipmunks and a stray cat named Queso. After all this time, there is nothing to show for all of that hard work. It was time to build something substantial to contain and really do the job. Spent a couple days building this 36" square bin - one of three that will have to be built. The front door which is latched opens to shovel and remove the compost. The lid lifts up and allows easy access for dumping the compost material. Tim is very excited. This will be our first year pile and then we will build additional bins of the same size and after three years will be able to use the compost from the first bin for the garden. A major time commitment but worth it.
