I have three ways to make compost. First, the put it all in a big pile and wait method. Really cheap, ugly ugly ugly, but never gets full. This pile is mostly greens, waiting for fall and the leaves to drop.
Next is the pallet bins. Easy to turn. Cheap to build. Easy to manage. Not pretty but better than the pile.
Then there is the 16 feet of field fence in a circle. Neat, not too ugly and easy to turn. Could be used as a planter, imagine it covered with squash vines.
When I checked last week they were all in the 140F temperature range.

Awe, I'm jealous of your multi-section pallet bins... Check my blog later today to see why! ;-)
Nice bins :) I'm envious of our pile. I used to have a pile at the farm. It was the best and easiest way to compost. My bins are up for view.
Ah, great minds think alike! CHEAP, LOL! Love your bins, jealous of your pallet bins, I've always liked the look of those, unfortunately the last pallets I scored I came across hubby breaking them down to use in some other random project of his. Like the cage too, you see squash, I see potatoes.... tomato, to-mah-to...!
