Composters

composter-barrel-2d

To build this you'll need to scavenge a plastic drum from a local dairy farmer.  It's not difficult to build, and for under $40 you should have a great drum composter.

Raised Beds
raised-bed-2d

This is built from Stuart Timber ColourPine half-rounds (35mm thick).  If your local stuff is different, just modify the dims to suit.

We left the corner stakes poking above the bed for a reason...so you can attach Chicken Tractors, protective screens, or even plastic covered frames as a cloche.

"The coop is working out well, our chickens have slowly got used to the change in design and now 3 out of 4 of them find their perches at night, they've also learnt to lay in the nest box. We've had very complimentary comments about the look of it from friends calling in, and it's great that we don't have to let the chickens out first thing in the morning as they have space to wander. Looking forward to trying it out on some of the beds in the veggie patch." -- Fiona, Wanaka
