One of my compost piles just has the hardware cloth supported by t posts. Simple and easy. I sifted one of my piles today, my back is talking to me now. But worth it I love black gold!
I want black gold, lol. I would love to have any kind of compost pile but I used the kennel to keep animals out. We have a family of possum that use our fence line for their pathway across the yards back there. I also use lots of zip ties, easy to cut when needed to redo something. Hubby thinks I am nuts, it's the lazy way of doing things to him and I told him it's easier than getting out the drill to unscrew the heavy duty screws you put into everything, lol. Screws have a place, but zip ties have their own too, lol.
