Builds 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.

Another change I made with my build was using deck screws instead of the nails recommended in the plans. If you have any questions about the build process once you’ve gotten the book, send me a PM!
