I have a couple sources of cheap, one-use poly barrels. I will be making the following out the barrels:

Rain barrel

The rain barrels are made from 55 gallon plastic barrels. I'm following these instructions https://www.instructables.com/How-to-make-a-rain-barrel-1

If everything goes correctly and to plan, it takes about 15 minutes to make. The cost for the workshop is $40 for members, $50 for non-members.

Compost barrel

A 55 gallon poly barrel is used to make the rolling compost barrel. More info to come.

Plant Tower

Plant towers are made from 55 gallon plastic barrels. A finished barrel has around 50 pockets on the side and an open top for plants. There's also a tube in the center for compost. One plant barrel takes about 1.5 hours to make. Tools needed are: - jig saw - corded / cordless drill with step drill bit - propane torch - sharpie

The cost for the workshop is $40 for members or $50 for non-members.
