Compost Hopper

[Munroast]

I was wanting to build a hopper to keep compost in, put it in the top, shovel it out of the bottom, if it is straight sided it will just stick to the sides and lock itself into place, two sloping edges would help it fall naturally - but what angle do i use - anyone have experience of this

Try the gardening forum?

But I always got good results from building basically cuboid structures from old pallets (a plentiful resource, always available for free). They provide ventilation, which compost heaps need. You can make one side, or the bottom half of one side, easy to remove to get at the compost. Or if you want to get really fancy, buy a couple of T-strap gate hinges.

Eventually they rot away, but it takes quite a few years to become useless.
