    Going to try to add that front design onto a 3 bin pallet set-up.

      I was actually telling Jenn that would make complete sense. Just take the front of this design and add to 3 pallets

      @@StiversHomestead That was what I was thinking too. I think five pallets, plus the lumber for the front braces and removable pieces? It is helpful to see you construct it, though. Thank you!

      How had this bin held up?

      Also, I've seen one, a 3 bin, where the 2 center dividers were, like the front panel, also removable, allowing you to have 3 bins "in process". When the third one is finished, the compost is removed and used in your garden. Then the contents of the 2nd bin are moved ( through the removable wall) to the third bin, thus being "turned". Then the contents of the first bin are [easily] moved (turned), right into the middle (second) bin. Leaving the first bin available to start a new batch. Of course, one could add additional bins if you want. The woman who built them/it emphasized how much easier the removable middle wall(s) made the turning process.

    My husband made something very similar to this 2 weekends ago. He never has a plan for anything he builds, just an idea in his head and it comes to fruition when he’s done. :)

    Have you ever thought of painting that shop building brown and painting the doors and everything else red and putting a red tin roof on the top of it I think it would look very beautiful. Try to match it to the house.

  • @faith3420

    Nice build! Thank you for taking the time to record it. I ordered the plans from Etsy. Just a couple of thoughts here related to Linseed Oil. I used Boiled Linseed Oil on a raised bed when I lived in Ga (now in Colorado) and it started decomposing about 2 yrs later. After researching Linseed Oil the past few days, I'm finding that 'Raw Linseed Oil' is being recommended for outdoor applications and should be reapplied yearly. That's what I plan on doing with the new compost bin and we'll see how it holds up. The cost where I'm at for all the materials ended up being about 210.00 including the delivery charge of 35.00. All the Best to you and your family!

Loved hearing wood costs are going down by you because we are in the Cumberland Ridge area in northern Tennessee about 3 hours from you and hoping we start seeing lumbar costs decreasing here too. Can’t wait to see what you build next on the homestead.

      I'm not a scaredy cat. But you should have proper footwear on the farm for the job you are doing.
      Protect your feet they are the only ones you'll ever have. Later in life you might want to use them.
      At our farm the rule was safety first , boots or hard shoes to protect your feet & ankles.

    SUGGESTION. I would recommend putting a pvc hoop lid on bins (like the lids you make for your raised beds). That will allow you to control the moisture of the pile as well as give it a little more warmth for the composting action.

    • @denisewilson8367
      @denisewilson8367 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Dampen each layer with a hose, 6" greens & brown layers, 3 inches of manure, lasagna style. Wrap in a black tarp. Open tarp every 3 days turn center to the outside of compost, make sure it stays LIGHTLY moist, and rewrap with your tarp. It should be getting hot & turn into compost in about 30 days.

    • @denisewilson8367
      @denisewilson8367 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Dogs, cats help.not much else you can do bcuz it's outside & has food scraps in it. The faster you can heat it up & turn it into compost the better. Keep your layers of brown & green to about 6 inches each, lightly watered, about 3 inches of manure. And do it lasagna style. And cover with a black tarp to keep extra water out so it get hot & stays that way. Turn every 3 days You should have compost in 30 days.
      The way Zach does it, it will take at least a year to break down. More chances of having rodents bcuz it doesn't get hot, and gets too much water from rains.
