I’m a fan of quick and easy. So a couple weeks ago when I was running low on space in the homemade compost bin R. put together for me. I decided to take something I saw online and try it. Viola! 2 more compost bins. Here’s what you need for each compost bin:

32 Gallon Trash Bin (~$10 each) with lid
Drill with 5/16″  bit

Lay trash can on its side and start drilling. Drill a hole every 3-4 inches. Once you’ve completed the first row, start the next row 3-4 from the first, with the first hole about halfway between the holes in the first row. Continue to work your way around the trash can, staggering the rows  as you go until you’ve gone all the way around the can. It’ll end up looking like this:

Add your compost materials, wet it is a bit, and put the lid on. Turn the bin every few days. And you’ll be on your way to adding organic material into your garden.
