Building a Compost Bin.

This afternoon my long lost wooden compost bin that I had given up on arriving arrived.  Of course it arrived the day after they gave me a refund, so I had to phone them up to get them to reverse the refund!  It took me five trips to take the pieces up to the back garden and I decided to build the bin this afternoon as the weather was dry.

I moved the metal bin and cleared a space for it.

Finished.

The inside.

I've emptied and moved the metal bin.

I've put some of the garden waste from the metal bin into the compost bin - grass cuttings and apples.

I think I'd quite like to get another one now to go beside it so I may move the plastic one before it gets too full.  It will be interesting to compare the different bins and how the compost develops in each.
