Default What did you make?

This is a thread for things you've created (other than food).

My first submission is this simple movable compost bin:


Materials:
6x 8ft landscape timber $2-$3 a piece
4x metal stake ... $5 a piece. found in masonry section, normal use is to line up boards for sidewalks and shit

Tools:
sledgehammer
saw of some kind
drill with 1" wood bit


1. Cut landscape timbers in half. For the math deficient, that's 4ft.
2. Drill a 1 inch hole three inches from the end of each piece, you should have twelve of these now
3. Stack them up with holes alligned, drive stake down center of holes and fill with dead plants.

Once you've created compost (dirt), just remove pieces until you can easily access your heap ... or move the bin all together and start a new batch!

Total cost was <$40
