Pallet compost bin idea

+Pie Number of slices to send: Send
I received some heat-treated (NOT pressure treated or chemically treated) pallets from my sister's remodel project and set about making compost bins in our field to replace the old wooden box we had been using to contain our compost.  I created it quite quickly, less than 2 hours and it is already paying back in dividends!  I just added some black compost to my vegetable garden rows and everything looks great!  This video is quite similar to how I made mine with the exception of chicken wire, which I was worried would "catch" the shovel or the pitchfork each time I turned the piles.  Aside from that, I adore Anne of all Trades!

I have had success with creating a compost bin using plastic pallets formed into the E shape.
They work well
So there I was, trapped in the jungle. And at the last minute, I was saved by this tiny ad:
