Instructions:

1. Determine the location for your compost bin. When determining the location of your compost bin, you'll want to think about convenience, aesthetics, and functionality.

2. Lay all 4 pallets down on the ground, face up. When we refer to the "face" of the pallet, we mean the side with the most planks on it (i.e. the top of the pallet). For instance, the pallet in the above image is lying face up. Using the staple gun, cover each face with cardboard or wire mesh (approximately 12 square feet per pallet). We prefer to use wire mesh for two reasons: it prevents most materials from coming through the planks, and also allows for great air circulation.

3. Stand the first pallet up at the back of your compost bin location. Make sure the pallet is facing inwards.

4. Stand the second pallet up perpendicular (i.e. at a 90 degree angle) to the first pallet. Use 2 L-brackets and your 3.5" screws to attach their corners together.

5. Repeat step 4 using the third pallet, placing it on the opposite side of the first pallet.You should now have a 3-walled structure. The opening should be facing outwards to your yard. This opening will be your access point, which you'll 6. If you'd like to build a compost bin that is secured to the ground, please include this step.

7. Cut your 8' rope into four 2' lengths. After standing up your last pallet, use the 4 pieces of rope to attach it to the corners of the second and third pallets. This fourth pallet will act as a door to your new compost bin, and the ropes will act as its hinges.

8. Add all of your compost ingredients, and cover it with a piece of old carpet or tarp. This covering will help to keep in heat, thus speeding up the composting process. use to turn your compost, and remove it when it is complete.

Our world in a hundred years

 Our World In a Hundred Years

Over the last hundred years all the colourful trees have turned dull, misty and grey because we chose not to recycle or do anything about rubbish. Now the rain has turned into acid because the pollution went into the clouds so our world is toxic. The rubbish is like a tsunami .If you step outside you will be covered in evil infested rats you will get bitten and get diseases because all the rats will be eating you. People will try to protect their food and hog it. People start fighting and yelling over the food now it has turned into war. People crying and praying to make this world better. Now people are arguing on who should clean this world. Would you like to live in this dump?
