DH built this for us. He used a plan I found online. (Are we allowed to post websites?) We have a lot of leaves in the fall. A lot of them go back into our yard as leaf mulch but a lot go into here. This is when it was brand new. Except for a new coat of paint it has held up great. The lid is not quite square any more but it is not necessary for it to close tightly. We collect Compost Tea at the bottom (not shown) using a trough. Found the barrels for $5 so just the cost of a few 2 x 4"'s and 2-4 x 4"'s (Treated) it was an inexpensive project.
