Compost Cube

Here's the compost bin I built last weekend. I wanted a design I could throw together quickly since the only time I could work on it was during Nate's naps.

I used galvanized brackets, normally used for framing houses, and a bunch of deck screws to hold together the sides, which are three-foot redwood 2x4s.

Next, I stapled chicken wire around the frame.

And you've got yourself a compost bin ... also handy as a holding pen for curious children.
