How to build a compost bin

[@tolliebeast7955]

Damn those are some really nice looking compost bins. The sliding planks looks awesome!

[@runescapeppl41]

I absolutely love how straight to the point you were, no bullshit, just a nice "here it is, here's what I used, how I built it" in the simplest way possible. Thank you. I'm curious to what the cost of the lumber was for you to build these two?

[@swift82-pilot]

Looks like about $150 each in materials.

[@juanm5045]

Hello!, these are probably the nicest one 've seen yet, Im wondering, have you treated the wood someway ?, also how long do you think these will last as is on the outside ? Great job !

[@TG-to3dv]

It looks like cedar

[@ll2708]

Really nice design

[@AmbersDaintyBush]

Gorgeous! Great job

[@thehomesteadingrd]

Thanks so much!

[@TrialAndError8713]

I've seen something similar on Off Grid with Doug and Stacey. They have a composting toilet.

[@perceptioncheck86]

How much was the build for this? Also I'm subscribed to your channel

[@emmanuelspromisefarm6118]

What an Awesome thing . Thank you ❤

[@thehomesteadingrd]

You’re welcome!

[@OfftoShambala]

Great design!

[@thehomesteadingrd]

Thank you!

[@RommyFallas]

Love it 😀 😍

[@p_eople6789]

Whatsthe coldest it gets in your zone? Did you ever take a thermometer to check if it gets hot enough in the middle to get thermophilic? 😊

[@thejakelegion]

So cool.

[@thehomesteadingrd]

Thank you!

[@1800sfarmhouse]

Definitely building two of these

[@thehomesteadingrd]

🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@chiefstandingkibull8145]

Awesome!!!!!🔥🔥🔥

[@elihuthompson626]

Very nice

[@RaymondMartin-w3l]

Where do you flip it ?

[@taniksambo1969]

What do you do about bugs? Also, if you throw fruits and veggies into the compost bin, then use the compost to start other plants, will other fruits grow with it because of the seed? Or does the compost decompose the seeds too?

[@thehomesteadingrd]

It depends on how hot your compost pile is. Typically, it gets hot enough to kill off any seeds

[@taniksambo1969]

@@thehomesteadingrd oh OK I'm in California so we get crazy heat it's already over 105 the past week. But how do you deal with spiders and other bugs?

[@echo3lima]

Hella dope 🔥

👍👍👍

[@roxlux2614]

Good info good vibes

[@calico6911]

Cost please? Thank you 😊

[@jerseyinthephilippines1283]

Pallets are free.

[@feyrband]

Youd have to plug those materials into your local lumber or box store. Not exactly cheap right now though.

[@RealJuanCastaneda]

Just what I needed. I almost forgot to search for ideas before going to bed and didn't have to look too far. Thank you for the design.

[@thehomesteadingrd]

Glad I could help!

[@RealJuanCastaneda]

​@thehomesteadingrd The materials listed in the TikTok description are for 1 bin, right? And at what angle did you cut the 2x4 to?

[@pinkcashmere1908]

What about rats getting in?

[@jacobnauman5801]

That's for the chickens?? It puts my home to shame 😂

[@rzznakhvonvoraath4566]

Did you add worms? I've heard this can be very helpful

[@hollydimig3998]

Nice

[@thehomesteadingrd]

Thank you!

[@Ifyouarehurtnointentwasapplied]

Why did you use brand new wood for composting it's like chopping down a tree for the garden 🙄

[@PinkPoo]

Some women are built different 💪💪🏻💪🏼💪🏽💪🏾💪🏿🦾

[@JamesDavis-t9n]

That's nice and neat

[@Bombsquadcomedyshow]

That's a first class job. I just screwed some old pallets together lol

[@thehomesteadingrd]

We tend to overdo things 😅😂

[@paradisethinkers_ky]

I like this idea but I'm gonna use chicken wire to save on cost

[@Pappa_Wheelie]

Why not just make a pile.

[@briceh1001]

Where can I order chickens?

[@judyl.761]

Seems like the chickens would eat all the worms inside the compost bins.

[@thehomesteadingrd]

There's typically no worms in the compost bins. It's too hot in there for them.

[@skeleton_wa_migraine1736]

Now...how to convince my husband to build it for me 😂

[@thehomesteadingrd]

You can do it!

[@kiaraoxley3819]

Oddly you've got the exact same speaking tone and style as the woman from the Dougherty dozen. I wonder who spoke like that first and if you guys follow one another!

[@tory464]

💚👍

[@christianlegra6898]

It looks like a 2x6 that's securing the front side together instead of a 2x4

[@sterfliklive]

You are rich...I am not 😂😂😂😂😢

[@mystica8788]

Why did you bury them into the ground?

[@pbjgurl]

There’s no tips in the captions 😢

[@xXdoodXx]

5/4ths? Lol just say inch and a quarter

[@spilledit]

Expensive and doesnt keep out any rodents

[@thehomesteadingrd]

Never had any issues with rodents in 10 years of using these bins

[@copperbackpack6]

$1000 in material

[@RealJuanCastaneda]

She built them from pallets

[@swift82-pilot]

I just out all that lumber in a Lowes cart snd it added up to about $175 for each bin.

[@copperbackpack6]

@ 4 redwood posts would cost you close to 200 dollars.

And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: (Hebrews 9:27) I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear: but they did evil before mine eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not. (Isaiah 66:4) And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. (Revelation 20:15) I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. (Luke 13:5)
