    I love my compost system. This one is pretty basic but a good start. I used the hardware cloth for my first version many years ago, but found it doesn't hold up well with the pitch fork and/or shovel's catching it as I move the material. I'm probably redoing it this spring. I have a plan using concrete blocks. Wood is so expensive it's practically cheaper with blocks.
    I'd recommend making a sifter for the third bin. Then as you shovel the cooked compost over, you can sift the dirt/broke down compost and sift out the large pieces that need more time. Place those back into the 1st or 2nd bin. I have a 3 bin system where I will rotate back and forth between bin one and two and keep the 3rd bin for completed compost to use in my gardens. I've had my latest 3 bin system going for about 8-10 years and I'm going to rebuild it this year with a possible 4th bin for fresh raw scrap. Currently my raw (tree branches, leaves, grass clippings, garden pickings etc ) are thrown in a pile behind the 3 bins waiting for the next time I rotate to get added in. Remember to layer. Compost works best when it's built like a Lasagna of green, brown, and dirt layers. Doesn't need to be perfect layers and actually works best when mixed up a bit, but the method works for keeping proportions correct. Its also good to keep it moist, not wet. So be sure to water the layers as you turn your pile from one bin to the next.

    Been composting for many years. my suggestion is to get some masonry tiles for the bottom floor. This makes shoveling out much easier and helps keep wildlife from digging up under. In my 3 bin system, only the first bin has a lid (movable), after the compositing starts the animal attraction diminishes and it helps the kids pick the right bin to drop food waste. Over time the piles in the bins start to all look the same and as you rotate the bins its easy to forget which one is #1.

    I have a very similar system that I built almost ten years ago and it has been GREAT for making TONS of compost to use in our gardens. It helps that we have not only food scraps and lawn and garden clippings, but paper litter and bedding that we use for our rabbits and guinea pigs and pine shavings that we use as bedding for our chickens. Filling a bin takes six months tops. My only change to this design would be to add an extra horizontal beam about halfway between the ground and the top of the bins on the sides and back of each bin. The fabric cloth WILL stretch over time, especially if it fills more than halfway, and securing to this will only help.
    Also, there is a way to make your material compost faster. Start by filling one end a little less than halfway. Then, move it every few days between that bin and the center bin. In about four to six weeks, you will have usable compost. In the meantime, you can start filling the other end bin. Best of luck!

    TEN YEARS back, I built a 3 bin system out of reclaimed cedar from a fence. It has finally began to rot out. Fixing to replace it, I was going to use fresh PT wood sides but now I've seen this I will use hardware cloth on 3 sides. GREAT DESIGN! For our hot dry summers I use a drip irrigation system on a timer to keep the piles moist. Which also makes the piles heavy and I will likely put some cross members midway up each wall to keep the hardware cloth from bowing out too much. I also used horizontal and angled cross bracing on the back half of the tops to keep the walls from splaying out whilst stll being able to reach in to turn and shovel.

    May I suggest that you buy a few thousand red wigglers and add them to your bins.
    Also I found a great tip a few days ago (Sadly I don’t remember who from) but buy an old blender from resale shops or yard sales, designate it for “scraps only”. Any kitchen waste destined for the compost bin gets blended. Take that slurry out and pour it into bins. Encourages worm activity.

    Great Job April! Just be careful on a windy day while working your piles, do not want the wind to slam the top doors on your head. Especially the 2x2 on the end. Maybe an 8ft 2x2 can hold them up for added security. Another idea to add, to make sure no animals do get in and may be trap in, us a bungy cord to tie down the doors. Were they is à will animals will get in especially if you have no tie down. Love your channel! Hi from Montreal Canada.

    Another great step-by-step instruction video!
    I didn't read all the comments so this might already be in there somewhere, but one suggestion, if I may:
    Make the 2 wire panels inbetween the bins removable. This makes it far more easy to shovel your compost-in-the-making from one stage to the next. With only a removable front, you'll have to shovel everything into a wheelbarrow to dump it into the next bin or lift everything by hand over the wired panel into the next bin. That's either a lot of extra handling or a lot of backache.
    The combination of a by section removable fontend and a removable side is perfect for working your way down a bin while moving it to the next, without the extra strain on your back and without spilling anything outside the bins.
    Hope this suggestion helps!

  • @mcmathwoodworks
    @mcmathwoodworks ปีที่แล้ว +3

    After seeing the full video, I like your method of holding/attaching the hardware cloth way better! Using a cutoff wheel looks so much easier than cutting one square at a time with tin snips!
    And why didn’t I think of using a broom to hold down the other end of the cloth while working on it? lol ;)
    I like the design and how you can add/remove slats to your desired height!
    Thank you for sharing!

    Irrigation and compost nerd here. This is the perfect method for composting. The only other method I recommend is a worm bin.
    Since you nailed this so hard, I’ll share my nerdgasm dream add-on to this project: install a line of 1/2” irrigation just behind the rear posts and an irrigation box to one side. Up to each bay, run 1/8” tubing and spray heads, and connect a moisture (and heat?) sensor that can be stuck into each pile like a meat thermometer, but moved for forkin’. Program to keep each pile sponge-moist and voila, we can keep them babies cookin’!!

    I'm impressed with your hole digging in the hill country. I live just north of Austin and I call our dirt 'defective'. Digging a hole with a post hole digger like that would be nearly impossible. I've been thinking of making some compost units like this, but make them the width of my tractor bucket, so make moving material between them and away easier. Yours turned out really nice!

    Now, the best compost is the one you don’t make. You can directly pour your vegetal waste onto your beds and incorporate them in your soil. Lower temperature rise, faster composting, less handling, more nutrients. If you don’t like the look of it, cover it with straw.

  • @thekaduu
    @thekaduu ปีที่แล้ว +54

    It's not too late. Look up "static compost". Just drill 1/4" holes on 2" pvc, put them on the bottom of the "cooking" compartment and force air through it (mattress inflator on a timer... 10 sec on and 50 sec off). This speeds up the composting process considerably. Also, mixing cheap chicken feed with no antibiotics, I got the core temperature to 67C (153F) in 3-4 days and it was usable in 21-22 days. Good luck.

    Round wire compost bins made of fencing or cattle panel can be fully opened by creating a gate with wire hooks or D rnigs at the T Post or rebar stake. No sawing, drilling or screwing. Can be easily relocated. I use them to compost in place to create new beds. Rake off what didn't decompose to at least mulch stage. Pull back to dirt & plant in. There are always earthworms below ready to go.

    The fun part about digging holes in the ground for fences, etc., is belling the bottom of the hole, adding a bit of gravel for drainage and then putting all of the soil back into the hole. I did this on several fences I have put up in past couple of decades, only to hear about the problems the new owners had trying to get the posts out of the ground when they wanted to make changes. I never had a rock bar, but always had an old shovel handle handy to use as my tamper. I was just wondering if you had thought about making the openings wide enough for the bucket of your tractor for ease of moving compost from one stage to the next.

  • @beaux2572

    To win the "game" of getting the lids open you could add a push stick on a hinge to the front of the lid. Just grab the stick which could be like 1x1 and lift up and open and then the hinge would let it swing up against the lid when upright to avoid a headache and keep it out of the way when working with the compost. Then grab the stick or pull the string to close and the stick will hinge back forward for next time.

    Do you think a person using your plans can build it in five panels (one back / four walls) in the shop then move to site? I was thinking it might it easier to keep square and assembly. The issue I see is level. So I'd back fill with granite and tap and find to level with long board and block just above ground level. Then just drop panels in place and backfill with more granite. I think this might be easier but you've built it before, so you do you see an issue with this thought? Thank you.

    I threw together my 2 stage compost system with free pallets from the big box lumber yard for the sides and back and screwed them together after leveling. I don’t have a top, no critter problems so far after 4 years. lots of winter snow on top though here in MN. I lean a pallet over the front to hold up the pile. It’s pretty good looking since its relatively square. Plus I use a pitchfork to turn it. Wire fence like yours would grab the pitchfork when I’m turning. I like being able to really stick the fork in without worrying about breaking anything. I like your buried posts idea. I’m going to use that on my pallets so they don’t lean. Nice job as always! 1.5M subscribers?? Way to go!

    A different perspective on composting, and a lot quicker is vermiculture; worms. Such useful little critters, but probably not as good with a wood project.

    That’s awesome. Totally unnecessary to build this fancy structure to decompose yard waste, but I love it.

      Not at all! Extremely useful. I don't want an unsightly pile to be able to have healthy compost for my garden. Thanks for watching.

    One little trick to accelerate composting that I have been using is to add earth worm to the bin. That will accelerate everything!

    You know, instead of fighting the hardware cloth on site you could just uses a "Fence stretcher"...yes that is a real thing!

    Floating your 4x4 by hand and going back and forth with two fences...just move the adjustable fence on your table saw........

    I watched the video twice but didn’t really hear any dimensions. Is it possible to share?

    As always, love your videos.
    A couple suggestions:
    1. If you laid out your posts on your shop floor, then connected them temporarily with cross bracing, they could be moved and set in place with the assurance that they were perfectly square and evenly spaced.
    2. The slot can be made with one fence. Just flip the board. The could also be made with 2 - 2xs sistered around a piece of 1x spacer. I think I’m going to do this because I have some leftover cedar.
    3. I also hate putting wood in the ground, even GCPT, so I’ll use concrete and a couple metal straps.

      You would be unable to set them properly, that's why she did not do that.
