So what did that take you? Maybe an hour? That was making almost $190/hour!! Way to go!! You should post this in CiR, under the gardening area for those that don’t understand how easy it is to make your own compost! I hadn’t found an easy step by step process, just made one with a lot of smaller holes (didn’t want stuff falling out), but I think I could modify it by using the screening!! Thanks for the tutorial!

But how did you attach that screening? I tried using construction adhesive and it just came right off. I checked that website you mentioned and he used just plain ol’ glue gun sticks? Did I read that right?!
supermom said
Hello Pam… yes, you read that right. The glue gun glue holds really well. I simply ran a bead of glue around the hole and then pressed the screening into the glue. You’ll want to wear an old pair of gardening gloves or something to protect your fingers from the hot glue that oozes through the screening.
It’s been a little over two months now since we made our garbage can compost bin. The bin has been rolled around the backyard several times to keep everything mixed and the pieces of screen are still all holding.

I love this idea! My PP (previously purchased) hehe bin didn’t work out as I expected and was left behind when we moved. Thanks so much for the tutorial. I’d like to link to your page if it’s ok.
