Whats behind the compost bin? - Highlander - 19 May 2013
Storing supplies is always a problem, I am always looking for new places, not wanting all my stores in one place,... this one almost started off as more of a lark than anything serious, but sort of developed over time,...... but I did have this bank,... just sort of sitting there doing nothing.
So what IS behind the compost bin

I dug out the bank, built up the gable ends in blocks put on a waterproof cover, and laid 8 inch thick tree trunks from end to end in a dome,..above the roof is about 18 inches of earth,... I also dug down a bit in the center so that we could sit comfortably,.. we call it `The Bunker`...

I was expecting something more small scale and subtle, but that's brilliant! You let me down with no lead lining for nukes though haha.
