Compost Area

After revamping the goat fence, a number of pallets were left available. I took my opportunity to finally build my compost area. 

We settled on two bays to start; I debated a third, but they're easy enough to add, I can always do it later. You can use twine, screws, or zip ties to link the pallets together. We opted for gigantic zip ties. 

To contain the compost, I used a staple gun to attach empty chicken feed bags. Isn't it colorful! 

Here it is with compost inside. I raked up a bunch of leaves and little sticks that had accumulated around the shed. I wonder how much will break down by spring? 


The chickens love it. They've already scratched out a ton of what I raked in. 😂 

I guess I should install a board on the front of the bays. TBD if I'll put a pallet on top to cover the compost.
