Looks geat, what is the size of each bin?

-- If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail!

That sounds like a great way to do it. I need to build one of those. I need to start one now so I’ll be ready for my spring planting.

Excellent project. I have long wanted one of these, but not enough room.

That’s a great looking compost bin Harold. I started using one earlier this year, but it’s a single and I can see the need for two more compartments. Do the front boards remove for ‘turning’?

Very clean construction – thanks for the post.

Kirk – the front slats are removeable to make it easier to turn the compost from one bin to the next. I also physically turn the boards when I restack the slats (inside is now the outside.) This way they can all worp evenly.

Nice work. If I do a garden this year, I may need to build one too.

Very nice bins : ) Happy Holidays to you and yours : )

-- When did quiet and quite become the same word ? I'm guessing about the same time as your and you're did.

Nice build. What type of wood is it?

It’s pressure treated lumber. I contacted an expect in the gardening field Tom McCubbin (he is from the Central Florida – has several books out too) He told me that PT is fine for garden beds and the compost bin. However, he did tell not to use sawdust from PT wood in the compost and certainly not in the veggie beds.
