I wanted an inexpensive holding bin for composting materials. I ended up buying the Presto Hoop Bin.
It comes as a roll and includes some nylon washers, nuts and bolts. You just create the size you want and then bolt through the holes holding the bin in a round shape.
This bin works well and it is black so it retains heat to help the composting process. It also has lots of holes so plenty of air is always aiding the composting process.
I got my presto hoop bin from planetnatural.com. It is only $24.95 and they are a pleasure to buy from. I bought 2 because I am eventually going to rotate the pile into the next hoop bin and it will contain the finished compost while I am filling the first with new organic materials.
You don’t have to spend several hundred dollars on your composting container.
In fact, you don’t have to spend any money. When I moved into my house the previous owners left behind a green garbage can. After living in an apartment I was seriously ready to start a compost pile. I wanted to make it asap so I used the green garbage can.
I drilled 1-1/4″ holes with a paddle drill bit. The holes allow for proper drainage and aeration. If I were to do it over again, I would drill smaller (1/4″) holes and just drill more of them. This would help to keep the compost inside the can. As the compost in the bottom becomes ready it starts falling out of the big holes.
UPDATE: See the Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL) munching on kitchen scraps.
The new brass knuckle pendants have been posted over at the etsy site. They are black acrylic brass knuckle pendants and come on several chain options. Our best seller is the minimal version with the acrylic brass knuckle pendant on nickel plated bead chain. We are able to sell the acrylic pendant and bead chain for a very reasonable price. The other options cost more because they come on sterling silver chains.
Acrylic is short for Poly(methyl methacrylate)
