Step 2Trim the Panels

Trim the Panels
The plywood I found was pretty rotten around the edges so I pulled the nails and sawed an inch off three sides. Then I scored each panel at the same height and sawed them same.

The dimensions are not critical at all. Make yours big enough for the quantity of compost you'll get, or to fit in the space you have available.
