How to Build a Compost Bin in Under 15 Minutes and CHEAP

[@sarahchambliss9732]

This is the easiest and cheapest DIY compost bin I have seen. Thanks!

[@seejanedrill]

Sarah Chambliss You're welcome, it is pretty cheap!

Thank you so much for this video, you just save me $ 40 dollars. I had all these materials in my garage from my garden this past year. Every dollar saved during the pandemic is a blessing.

[@mariebaldwin9057]

Love it! I was looking for a solution that wouldn't require a lot of tool ownership or skill!

[@joleen71]

I love it! That's super old fashioned composting! Growing up, my dad had 3 of these along the back fence. Just remember to turn it. We had a few "spontaneous combustions" when we didn't do the thing we'd promise to do. lol Thank you for this video!

“See Jane Drill” is amazing at explaining how to build a compost bin. I wish she would have been in high school algebra teacher!

[@trixiebeldon3177]

What great solution. I live in the city and don't have a place to drive into soil, so I used zip ties to join the fencing to the desired circumference, bent the unfinished ends towards the center with pliers, and placed a few pieces of brick on the bent ends to hold it more firmly to the pavement while the hummus developed. Voila!

[@seejanedrill]

That's a pretty cool idea!

[@chickenfarmer209]

You are pretty cool if i say so myself. Love the simple, smart, and entertaining tutorials.

[@appelpat1]

Thanks, Jane! Great tutorial!

[@seejanedrill]

you're welcome! glad it was helpful

[@suzanneconroy4315]

How do you get the compost out when you need it? Just pulling it out and the delicate or pound back in?

[@MariaMorales-kr1ps]

[@jenniferraby250]

[@seejanedrill]

+Jennifer Raby you're welcome, Jennifer!

[@maishah123]

+seejanedrill i made the same thing, but its 3 by 2 width and length and the height is 3. so its 3 by 3 by 2, because the garden is paved off. i heard for thermal compost it has to be 3 by 3 by 3, will mine still work??

[@dieselxdan]

Thank you for the video Leah! I'm going to do it

[@seejanedrill]

Danny Nguyen You're welcome, Danny, I'm glad you liked the project!

[@bzz5601]

This really is all you need. Great video. I've got a lot of composting going on, but I really like this idea especially for raking leaves into and letting them rot down all fall/winter. Much better than my dome composters. I wonder what an estimate cost would be. Maybe

[@04Danielle1]

I can't wait!!! Nice Job!

[@seejanedrill]

Danielle Morris :)

[@syedasgher924]

[@Max-po5sx]

[@seejanedrill]

you're welcome, Max!

[@bradkyleeleanor]

Thanks for the video! how do you go about harvesting the compost when it is done?

[@olsolameo1]

Cool Lea!!

[@seejanedrill]

Thanks

[@PuerinTheHunter]

This is pretty good! Now I wonder if one can make those tumbler compost bins using a 50-gal plastic barrel.

[@seejanedrill]

Hey, thanks man. You probably could, but I myself am a lazy gardener, just want to toss it and forget about it!

[@AliBabaZumba]

This seems like a great way to avoid the plastic, don't want leaching into valuable compost.

[@jaeDeelight]

Thanks for this video. Very helpful. BTW, what kind of mic are you using?

[@nickd9357]

Do you have a video that instructs how to use this? Doesn't compost have to be flipped/turned etc?

[@seejanedrill]

not yet, but that is a good idea for a future video. And, yes, it does!

[@nickd9357]

would be great if you made one because i want to construct one of these but I don't want to do it without being able to use it properly :)

[@callahamsepe4517]

do it yourself , go to woodprix page and learn how .

[@cadenaek3066]

Thanks for tip Callahan

[@saltlifess6226]

So you have to take it all a part to turn the compost every so often?

[@patferguson572]

I think it's probably a long-term composter. BUT you could fix one side of wire to the post leaving the other side free. Use tie-wire [or some type of 'clip'?] to attach wire to post in about 4 places. Then just undo, pull back wire, turn compost, and put wire back.

[@ceili]

How do you empty it?

[@seejanedrill]

I just remove the wire bin from the ground when I'm ready to "harvest" the compost. Mix it up and scoop it into a wheelbarrow.

[@johnlarson4874]

Now what? Mine has been full for a year and it's still just coffee, leaves, and banana peels? Am I supposed to tear it apart and rebuild it everytime I want to stir it?

[@bacn_]

I legit found like 2 rolls if this stuff in the woods lol

[@seejanedrill]

A free find

[@zehisap8883]

Couldn't I just weave the stake through the wire rather than screwing on ? I won't need a drill or fixings then. Also I don't think it would hurt to use an untreated stake as its not a permanent structure. And I will definitely only be putting garden clippings in, not food scraps or else it will be a mouse metropolis 😆

[@mima4392]

How do you keep rats out of it?

[@shepardfamily8278]

Do you put food scraps in this type of compost bin? Does it attract rodents?
