Where can I find a compost box kit?
Question:
I'd like to find & buy a good sized composting box kit for not too much money. Something maybe made of wood with partially screened sides, and that was predrilled and included assembly hardware & instructions. Does such thing exist or do you have to build it yourself?
Answer:
_They exist but you will be paying quite a bit for it. I recently saw
some made out of recycled plastic which can be gotten for a lot less.
Inquire with your city's waste recycling department and see if they have
any of these bins. In Sacramento, we get some free of charge if we
attend a composting program.
_Eagle in Louisville had one made of recycled plastic (dark) for $89.00.
Price is steep, but I'm considering that one--I "inherited" a wood one and
since it hadn't been maintained, its in BAD shape. I am hesitating about
building another wood one (or repairing the existing one) because of
ongoing maintenance and/or migration of chemicals from pretreated lumber
into my compost. I'm also talking myself into the argument that it would
be a bit wasteful for me to use wood in a project that is designed to rot!
