Belle's Challenge-The Compost Bin

I haven't tried this, but it's on my list for this spring.  I have a compost pile held in place by woven sheep wire and it just doesn't work for me.  I read about using old shipping pallets.  You take four pallets and stand them up.  Wire them together to form the bin and then just unwire and open like a door when you need to get in there.  One thing we aquired a large amount of when we move in here was shipping pallets.  The man who owned this place worked at Wal-Mart and brought home all kinds of treasures.  Does anyone have any other ideas for using these pallets?  It seems a shame to burn them.

someone long ago posted that she uses them as the floor in her goat house, and then all the garbage falls down and the goats are not living in it. and it is easy enough to clean out.



can I have some? ;)
