For those of you with pesky neighbors who don't appreciate big piles of yard waste rotting in plain sight, there is the compost bin. The compost bin keeps your compost neat and tidy. Choosing the right type of bin for you is less about your composting needs and more about your personal preference. Your compost won't know the difference between being piled in a corner and rotting away behind the custom built cedar doors of a multi-bin setup.
The simplest compost bin you can build is to not build one at all. It's not an option for all of us but those in the country with lots of acreage can just stack up their yard waste in a pile.
Another easy option for a compost bin is to purchase a length of temporary wire fencing such as chicken wire, rabbit fencing or whatever you can get your hands on. Hammer a few posts in the ground so that the fence holds it's shape and stands upright and attach the fence with string or wire. Start filling it up with leaves and grass clippings and that's it you're done.
This last option will take the longest to build but will also last the longest and look the best. Compost will rot the quickest if it's in a pile at least 4'x4'x4'. That's four feet wide by four feet long by four feet deep. So building a cube out of four foot 2x4's is a great way to make a compost bin. Connect the four foot sections at the corners of the cube with galvanized nails or screws and then attach some of that wire fencing that was mentioned above, to the sides with heavy duty wood staples. As your needs for compost grow, build another cube and place it next to your first one. Now you have a multi-bin system. Start your compost in the first bin and as it decomposes move it to the next bin. Moving your compost to a new bin is a great way to aerate it.
Stay away from pressure treated lumber and just realize that your bin will rot in about 5-10 years. Seems fitting that a compost bin will eventually turn to compost itself.
Whether you take a wire fence and bend it into a circle or you break out your woodworking skills and create a masterpiece, your compost bin will help you keep your garden healthy and happy.

The cypress tree family is widespread, containing over 130 species. Through DNA analysis, it has recently been determined that both the juniper and giant sequoia trees are related to the cypress family. However, when someone mentions the cypress tree, they are generally speaking of one of three main species - the Bald Cypress, the Leyland Cypress, or the Arizona Cypress. These are the most popular and widely used cypress trees in America, and each has unique characteristics. You can be sure one of these species will fit your landscaping needs.
The Bald Cypress is the symbolic tree of the southern swamp; however, it is quite adaptable and has been grown successfully much further north. It is a large tree, can grow as tall as 70' and spread as wide as 25' at the bottom. It tolerates all soil types, is adaptable to wet or dry conditions and can withstand flooding. The Bald Cypress is a deciduous conifer so it will not only produce cones, but will shed its needle shaped leaves in the winter. It has a uniform conical shape.
The Leyland Cypress is a fast growing evergreen and is very popular in landscaping. It is a large tree, can grow as tall as 60-70', with a smaller spread of about 15-20' at the base. It also grows in all soils, prefers full sun, and requires an average amount of rainfall. Unlike the Bald Cypress, this tree retains its blue-green needles throughout the winter. In maturity, the Leyland forms a columnar or slightly pyramidal shape and its dense branches make it a prime choice for forming windbreaks or privacy hedges. Although the Leyland Cypress prefers full sun, it does not adapt well to hot climates and becomes susceptible to a fungus known as Cypress Canker. Both the Bald Cypress and the Arizona Cypress perform better in the extreme southern states.
The Arizona Cypress is the southern belle of the cypress species and does not grow well in the middle or northern states. It is smaller and wider than the other species, growing to about 45' with a spread of 25-30'. The Arizona prefers full sun, grows in all soil types, and has normal moisture requirements, but has good drought tolerance. Due to its dense branches, gray-green needles, and uniform shape, it is widely grown for Christmas trees. It is also widely used in landscaping as a focal point or anchor.
These three varieties of cypress trees cover all the bases. Wet or dry soil, hot or temperate conditions - there is a cypress tree to meet your needs. Choose the melancholy Bald Cypress, the slender Leyland Cypress, or the elegant Arizona Cypress. Each and any one will add impact to your landscape.
