6 Easy Steps to a Homemade Compost Bin


Materials for Compost Bin
 

Step 1: Gather Your Materials

You don't need much to build this compost bin. Here's what we used:

-- 2 4X8-foot lattice panels (each cut into 2 4X4-foot pieces)
-- 4 2X4s cut 5 feet long
-- 2 Large clothesline hooks
-- Shovel
-- Drill, screwdriver, or hammer
-- Screws or nails
-- Tape measure

Note: For convenience, we had the lattice panels and 2X4s cut by the staff at our local home- improvement center. You can also easily cut them yourself with a hand saw.
