How To Build An Experimental DIY Compost Bin: Using 3D Custom Parts
Вставка

- This video shows how to make a new experimental compost bin for Composting Food or other organic material. This design should be impervious to Rats, Mice and other unwanted pests such as flies or maggots. It has holes underground to let much needed earth worms in to help the composting process and at the same time drain any excess fluid. It is also cheap to build and costs less than $15. The grill covers are custom made 3D printed parts, which I can share the 3D STL files for if you would like to also do this project.
As always Matt, you are both learning how to improve your place and teaching us at the same time. I know that there are compromises that you have to make in terms of materials etc, but you are definitely on the right journey and further along than most of us! Keep well, my friend!
Thanks Tony! For sure I am not an expert, just learning on the job as it were. The way I see it is I am on a bit of a journey of self discovery - sharing lessons learnt - if that helps one other person on their own journey then I would be very happy!
❤well done ❤
Well done laaaaad
I need one.😊
We can work on that Toom !
Good design,It's a shame they're plastic. There's already way too much of that in use in Thailand. Did you make the brick planters? I was thinking of doing similar.
Hi @EighthSphere1 I agree about the plastic use in Thailand. This will however stop all our food and other organic wastse go into landfill and will help us rebuild the soil at the same time. Yes the brick planters are great, quite cheap to make and look fantastic. I didnt want to use the normal concrete blocks , 1 ) because of the look and 2) becuase of the sustainabilitiy angle. We also try and reduce the amount of concrete we use but its sometimes unavoidable in this harsh environment. Thanks for the comment - appreciate the input.
Please shorts and flip flops ewe must be a little bit hot 😅
Hi alanatkinson6089 - Lol I seem to sweat buckets regardless of what I wear. Many workers start at around 5 am and then finish by 10 am as it gets too hot. I am quite clumsy so I wear boots to protect my feet. I am 100% sure if I wore flip flops you would see at least one video a week of me dropping something on my foot, and then a lot of beeping noises to cut out the swearing!
@@TheSmartGardenRomYenHouse same for me
Is the solar system still doing the job for you?
Hi Alan - yes! So far it has been excellent. One concern for me is battery life. The batteries for the newest system are in the workshop area which doesn't have air con and as such they are often in temperatures of 32 degrees C or more. I am concerned about the effect on the battery life as they are the most expensive part of the system. TIme will tell I guess. Thanks for the question.
Cheers
