Chris, as has been reminded, we only have a small garden and have squeezed
our bins into a corner where two paths join the gardens. Someone on here
wanted to know how to construct a small bin so I took these pictures last
year, complete with a measure in view. Click on the picture to enlarge for
more details.

Yes, Mike, those look a really nice pair of bins. Out of
curiosity, what did the timber cost? My current garden has no
vegetable patch, and is simply a lawn with borders of varying
depth. There is nowhere to hide any bins.

They didn't cost anything actually Chris because they were made out of a
fence I 'modified' :-)
We had a paling fence of these 3 x 1 timber 6 ft high between our raised veg
beds and the neighbours. Three things happened. The neighbour, a builder,
built a block shed for his tools. He put a wooden shed behind it for his
bike and fishing gear etc etc etc (well you know what gets into a shed) and
the third thing, the fence posts snapped/rotted off.
I redesigned the fence to be only 3 feet high, so had lots of 3 x 1 x 6fts
over :-))
Cut them to size, Cuprinolled them again and there you have it.
As has been pointed out many times, I am not 'A Gardener' in the plant
aspect, but in the hardware, layout of paths, building raised beds,
shredding and composting :-)) Cannot have everybody experts in gardening,
there would be nobody left to do the 'menial tasks' ;-))
