Wooden shipping pallets are easily recycled into large, heavy-duty compost bins which assemble in minutes, and can produce rich humus mulch and compost year after year. If you have a fair-sized property, a single pallet bin can handle up to two cubic yards of leaves, grass, and brush. If you're involved with a school or church, a three-bin pallet system might be just the ticket (and a free ticket, to boot!) for your larger campus. A system I constructed at the American Horticultural Society headquarters at River Farm in Virginia was easily capable of handling all the trimmings from several acres of actively managed formal gardens.Click on the following link to download my factsheet Composting With Pallets [PDF]
