As this gardening season started with one of my two compost bins finally melting down after about 15 years, I started the quest to locate 4 pallets to build a new one.
In a previous life pallets were a fact of life and were there for the picking up and removing, with a good selection of sizes and types to chose from....Free.
So after some scrounging I did find three that were close to what I wanted.
Forth one was a "I'll give you a call....." type of thing so I dug thru the lumber pile, to see what had.
Slight modifications to cut down to size on three "Freebies".

Actually had to OMG....."Buy" some lumber, but I didn't what to use treated on anything that would touch the compost, and build the forth side.

So after the construction part, moved into position, used 12 long galv. deck screws to hold the sides to the back, then 4 salvaged screen door hooks to fasten the door on the front, was back in business.

To the right is the other older bin, gonna be looking for a few more pallets as this will need to be replaced soon.
If necessary I can build each side with about $12 bucks, so I figure about $50 bucks, I can manufacture then with "store bought material".
