That's a really ingenious and inexpensive way to make a compost bin.
Also use any vegetable or fruit kitchen scraps, plus eggshells and
even brown paper grocery bags.


Animals spread eggshells from my neighbor's compost all over the place. I'd
skip that.

If you crush the eggshells, the critters won't spread them. I always laugh
when I see a raven fly off with an eggshell in it's beak, out of my compost
pile. (Ravens are *huge* egg thieves -- they steal the eggs out of birds nests.
They also steal shiny things. My SO loses at least one wris****ch a year
to the ravens, when he takes one off to pull a calf that's having trouble
being born.)
