    I sell stuff on eBay, so first I went there to look for inexpensive bins, but not cheap there, and I noticed someone selling plans on a CD.

    So, being the completely cheap (not frugal, I admit - I'm cheap - admitting you have a problem is the first step of that recovery, eh?) person that I am, I googled 'free compost bin plans and came across these two sites:


    http://www3.uwm.edu/Dept/shwec/publications/cabinet/html/com... - check out the round barrel composter - ease to spin.

    second one is here: http://www.rona.ca/project/~building-compost-box-25099_downl... - I think I copied the page that has the one on it that I was looking at, but it's too complicated for hubby to build (well, too complicated for him to build without cussing every five minutes...), so think I'm going to go flirt with one of my male neighbors and sweet-talk one of them into building me one.


    oh! Here's a link PuddlePirate gave me link to - http://www.composters.com/compost-bins/compost-corral-corner... - I would LOVE to have this system (check it out on hgtv.com - here - http://www.hgtv.com/landscaping/assembling-a-compost-bin/ind... - but the corners themselves cost $174, plus the lumber, so that may be further on down the road. I already know that I need more than one composter for next season. :)
