I love Yardenman's bin. I would never guess it had decomposing matter inside-very aesthetically appealing. I may have to steal the design.

Good point sallyg- I don't mind having a pile of leaves and grass in there if I don't get it to work well. I'll just have them dump it come spring or just till it in. I think I'll just try it with everyone's advice.
I just thought it would be better to utilize that 60+ gallon empty can over the winter than to have it sit empty. I'll have to come back and let you guys know how it goes!

Feel free to steal the design, but if you want details on the construction, check here. https://cavebearslair.blogspot...

BTW, it has spring-loaded hooks on both sides of the top (good luck raccoons solving THAT), a rope I hold to prevent the top opening too fast, and I want to see a rat try to get through 1/4" wire mesh! LOL!
