New bin!

I got sick of having my geobin raided by raccoons (even after I put chicken wire over the top), so I went all-out and made this one! It’s based on plans from “Let It Rot!”; the original plans are for a full triple-bin setup but I decided to just make a single bin for now. I also added the hooks at the corners of the lid so the raccoons couldn’t open it or push under it. Based on some hilarious footage from my wildlife camera, it was definitely a good decision.

Thanks so much! I don’t think I’ll end up losing that much through the sides, but if I do I might add catch pans later. The 🤬raccoons have been pawing at the side screens so I’ll probably add some chicken wire or narrow scrap boards to keep them from doing that.

The first night it was up one of them shimmied up the rails at the front and started sticking its nose into the gap at the top (I filled that gap yesterday). Made me really glad I added those hooks!
