DIY Open Wooden Compost Bin

Choosing the right location for a compost bin is crucial. In our case, an old foundation on the other side of the house provided an ideal spot. This decision, based on future plans and convenience, ensures that the compost bin doesn't become an obstacle down the line.

On the evening of May 1st, 2017, I embarked on building an open wooden compost bin using leftover materials from roof works. The decision to repurpose these materials showcases resourcefulness and sustainability in creating a practical garden construction.

Armed with basic tools like an electric saw, measurement tape, pencil, and a level, the construction process was surprisingly straightforward. Unlike the complexities of leveling bearing beams for a roof, creating a compost bin from wooden boards proved to be a simpler yet rewarding endeavor. The end result? A functional compost bin ready to handle fallen leaves and trimmed grass, contributing to our rural property's sustainability.
