Hi all,

I compost in segments of wire fencing shaped like the letter C.  I keep the
sides standing upright by pounding thin metal fence posts into the ground and
tying the open ends to them.  In this way I can move the compost from one bin
to another without having to lift over any sides. I can also take the sides
down easily when it is time to move the piles.  It works well for me.  I live
in a relatively arid environment,  and keep the sides of the wire covered with
plastic using clothes pins,  as well as the top.  I turn the compost from one
wire bin to another 3 times,  moving them down the line until the glorious
black stuff ends up at the end of the line in the 'to use' pile.

I love composting.  Thank goodness,  because El Nino sure has brought the
weeds this year.  Janet.
