UllrsIshtar -> RE: Compost bins for less (4/23/2013 1:41:25 PM)

I haven't been able to install one yet. We just moved and the few good days of nice weather we've had I've been to busy cutting trees and shrubs down (starting over with basically a blank slate).
Once I get the time to squeeze it in somewhere, I'll install a 3 bin system:

In our rental, I used to have something sorta like your plastic tube one, except made with metal wire used to reenforce concrete. Compost is actually precious enough to me (especially with the semi-desert sand clay soils we got here) that when we moved, I moved all of my half finished compost with me. Despite it being covered by about 2 feet of snow by then and having to haul it several yard, through that snow, to the truck. Our city was kind enough to offer trash can/recycling bins a couple weeks before the move to the entire town, so I used 3 of those to load it all up to take.
I also moved about 2 tons of black dirt I had previously bought for my planters (back when my husband had promised me we where staying put for a few years). That stuff's worth it's weight in gold around here, or so it sometimes feels...
