This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEM curriculum.  Completing this BB is part of getting the sand badge in Waste Streams.

Many people appreciate the idea of making and using compost in their gardens. If turning a compost bin regularly seems like too much work, let's start with a single section bin for slow (cold) composting!

 
 

Here's one way to do it.  


Minimum requirements:
  - Make a compost bin that's at least 2 cubic yards in volume
  - Has sides to contain it
  - Includes a way to empty it fully without lifting contents out the top
  - No plywood, treated or man-made wood products

Provide proof of the following as pictures or video (<2 min):
  - Location where the bin will go
  - Midway through construction
  - Finished bin
  - Show that it's at least 2 cubic yards in volume
  - If made with pallets, show that they're HT (heat treated) pallets
 
Did Steve tell you that? Fuh - Steve. Just look at this tiny ad:
