Comments on: The Home Made Compost Bin… http://www.youmakeahome.com/garden/home-made-compost-bin/ Fri, 08 Jan 2010 09:55:04 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9 hourly 1 By: Home Maker http://www.youmakeahome.com/garden/home-made-compost-bin/comment-page-1/#comment-170 Home Maker Fri, 08 Jan 2010 09:55:04 +0000 http://www.youmakeahome.com/?p=56#comment-170 I like the idea of building some form of lattice or wooden surround around the bin to conceal it better. The lattice could also support some trailing vines or something as per Verlene's comment too. Thanks. As for the rest of the garden, I have recently done a bit more work out there, since the dawn of summer downunder - I'll post an update and some pics soon.

You might try it, or build something out of lattice to go around it, since it doesn't move.

It is a kind of garbage can. It's the best garbage can ever. We have to pay $1.80 for every bag of rubbish we put out. Using this for our trash means we have only put out about five bags of rubbish in four months! It does look like a beer bottle, but it's just a trick of the light! Thanks for the comment, Duncan Hi Rusty,
