Your compost won’t know the difference between being piled in a corner and rotting away behind the custom built cedar doors of a multi-bin setup.
The simplest compost bin you can build is to not build one at all. It’s not an option for all of us but those in the country with lots of acreage can just stack up their yard waste in a pile.
Another easy option for a compost bin is to purchase a length of temporary wire fencing such as chicken wire, rabbit fencing or whatever you can get your hands on. Hammer a few posts in the ground so that the fence holds it’s shape and stands upright and attach the fence with string or wire. Start filling it up with leaves and grass clippings and that’s it you’re done.
This last option will take the longest to build but will also last the longest and look the best. Compost will rot the quickest if it’s in a pile at least 4′x4′x4′. That’s four feet wide by four feet long by four feet deep. So building a cube out of four foot 2×4′s is a great way to make a compost bin.
