A compost bin is a must-have garden construction at our rural property - fallen leaves and trimmed grass mostly goes here. It was on an early May 1st, 2017 evening I decided to build an open wooden compost bin from materials we left over from roof works.
It was agreed to install a compost bin at the other side of the house, as when planing a place for a compost bin, it should be chosen carefully, not to be an obstacle in future.
Choosing a place for a compost bin
As there is already old foundation here, and we are not planning to do with them anything for next couple of years, it was agreed this is a good place for a compost bin. Now it was a matter of taking down the laths from the loft, electric saw, some measurement tape, a pencil and a level.
Wooden boards for compost bin
A little experiment here, adjusting height and weight.
Leveling boards
Definitely much easier than leveling bearing beams for the roof construction.
The result
It took me a couple of hours to finish this project.
