Thank you for your kind words!

The bin ended up in the garden because it had a crack down one side already. It seemed a shame to waste the container because of a crack, so it now lives outside & works beautifully. (A few holes in the bottom would work, too. That's how the buckets are set up.) The 'ragtag' part... is just using or re-using what I have on hand. It's fun to find ways to re-purpose items to be useful again!
