Compost bin

Cadyboo · 2009-05-22 21:24:01

Hi guys, have an unused wheelie bin at home, and I was thinking of using it as a compost bin. Most I have seen are wooden. So has anyone an idea if this would work out alright? Thanks.x

It works for me.
I drilled holes all over to vent it, then added a flap on a hinge at the bottom.
You'll need a lot of holes, otherwise the worms won't breed/breathe.
