How I Built A Cheap Composting Box
Sep 5 2008
Here’s a cheap way to make a good composting box. I’ve bought the wood with the notches pre-cut in a DIY kit, but you could cut it out yourself. Notice that the length of the notches is a little bit shorter than the thickness of the wood, therefore the wood will wedge itself together making a rather strong construction. I had second thoughts about using pressure-treated wood due to the chemicals used and the risk of it leaking into the organic material inside the box, but I did use it and at least this type of material will last longer. So let’s see what happens. Comments are welcome on this issue (or anything else you have in mind
