where can i find a compost bin in the Buffalo,NY area that is reasonably priced?

Answer 1

Make one. Get a 55 gallon drum, metal or plastic, with a lid. Drill holes in it to allow moisture to escape. Put yard clippings, a little dirt and some dry fertilizer in it , put lid on & then roll it around the yard every few days.
We have a surplus store near us that sells drums every year for $5--I am sure there's somewhere like that in New York. People here in Oklahoma use them for everything from dog houses to ...well, compost bins!!

Happy Composting!

Answer 2

I am not in the NY area, but my husband had 'dogwire', I think you call it, in a circle, and it kept his pile together. It worked fine. We started using out of it , and now it's way down, and we are growing trees in, to transplant--I have cucumber-just 2 plants, eggplant-just 2, potatoes that sprouted-just three---------------just thrown into the edges of it for the fun of it.

My point is this--before we got into using the compost, it was at least 2 feet tall. From the year, 2000, my husband filled it up with the leaves from the yard. They would go down and every year he added leaves. We STILL are able to use the pile. If much else was put into it, it was shredded paper.

The dogwire or hogwire(I'm not sure) worked great! and it's cheap.
