06/2010 - just found more photos of this project - those during the build. I got the plans on line after doing a "google" search for compost bins. I made this in 2007 and was my first project - a rather simple one at that. But two years later… it's still standing! The idea is that you put...

While I'm not much of a gardener, my girl is pretty good at it. Unfortunately, the soil around our new house was lacking basically every type of nutrient known to man. I bought a test kit a while back and every single test (Nitrogen, Potassium, etc…) came up as deficient. So, we decided to...

Figured might as well start small and work up on project posts here, so tonight I started and finished the first one I'll share, a (2) bin compost setup that was placed back by the garden. Project was conceived yesterday evening and since it showered this afternoon and changed my plans figured...

I needed a simple compost bin to handle a lot of my daily yard waste and kitchen scraps. I didn't want to fill the trash with this sort of thing when it can be so beneficial to the perennial garden beds. Plus, its a simple way to be Earth friendly and do my part to help the planet. I decided...

First wood turning project, at the woodworking show in Atlanta GA. The folks there were so helpful showing me how it's done. I think it turned out great. Hope to do more of this kind of projects soon.

This is not really a wood working project, but I am posting it on Gardentenders and thought it might be interesting to someone at Lumberjocks. I have seen several compost barrels made from plastic and metal drums or barrels. With the access I have to wine barrels, I thought why not try to make...

First, I need to give credit where it is due. This is not my design; I found it at Rodale's Organic Life web site. Since we are now successfully raising backyard chickens (eggs, anyone?), we have a considerable amount of organic material that I would prefer not to toss out with the trash. So...

Build Instructions: http://www.instructables.com/id/Simple-Stackable-Compost-Bin-from-Pallets-Collars/ Video of Build: With one single unit as opposed to two or three bins, the space needed for composting is minimized. Each tier stacks on top of the other, latching together to make the bin...

In 2001 I made this Worm Composting Box for my friends, who won it in our annual fundraiser auction. It was customized for them upon the request of a removable drawer for the worm castings so they could be carried away without having to shovel them. I also built a stand for it, so there was no...

I (and likely our BBQ guests) got tired of looking at my compost pile so I put this together in a weekend. All reclaimed cedar in various states of weathering that I had laying around from other projects. We've had mice living in the compost pile in the past, so I lined the bottom and top with...

I have maintained a growing heap of compost in the back yard for a few years now. I had originally simply fenced off an area of 16 square feet with plastic chicken wire and T-Posts. Our dog was able to get in under the fence pretty easily to scavenge some tasty morsels out of the stinkin'...
