     Does Bunnings AU not carry those plastic ones with the door at the bottom? Those are great for small flats/rental houses. You can also just get a plastic storage tote, or a bucket, and drills some air holes in it.

     @charliebrownau @djsumdog You don't even need a bin for your compost if the pile's big enough.

     @djsumdog Im looking into making wood planter box's
     and a compost bin
     
     It looks like lads in USA often use cheap fence pickets
     1x6 x 2.4m = 19mm x 140mm x 2.4m
     
     bunnings.com.au/search/products?page=1&q=Fence+timber&sort=PriceAscending
     We dont really have cheap big untreated fence wood
     all the cheap stuff is pre posioned with ((( CCA)))
     
     I was looking to use Untreated Framing timber

     @djsumdog @charliebrownau You don't need holes in it if you're mixing it often enough. The air gets in when you mix it. We keep a solid lid on it almost all the time to stop evaporation. (dry environment here)
