   The bin is open to the air; the sides are woven field fencing and the   
   removable doors in the front are metal mesh stapled to 2x4 frames. My wife,   
   who uses the compost, says that she does indeed get weed seeds in the home   
   grown compost. However, every    
   year we get a pickup truck load of compost which does not contain any weed   
   seeds at the county landfill for $10 . For starting seeds, she fills the   
   bottom 2/3 of the pot with the home brew, then makes a sterile mix of county   
   compost, peat moss, and    
   perlite for the top third. Any weed seeds in the bottom section die out before   
   reaching the surface.
