Our current compost bins are about 2 feet tall max. Once they are full I leave them alone for about 2 months and then harvest. The garden and kitchen waste matter has not fully broken down, but I still use it.
So I'm thinking... these dog food bags are plastic lined, about 3 feet tall.
Two of them attached together would make a nice long bin almost 6ft tall. Cut the top bag's base completely, so it will just be one open ended cylinder. We used thick string made from some plant. Loosely sewed it to the bottom bag.
I wont put food in this, only garden cuttings. The plan is that once I have filled all 6 feet of it, the bottom stuff will be more broken down compared to by smaller 2ft tall compost bins. I have just poked some holes at the bottom to drain out the rain water, but hardly any will get in coz the bamboo leaves make a decent umbrella.
