Ken:

Thanks. The lids have a lip that fits into a groove that is in the bottom part, and they are pretty difficult to remove with just one hand. The brick idea would work just great. It will get up to 100*F here in the summer, and below 0*F in the winter. I'll start one this week and see how it works.

If I were to put the bins in an old chest type freezer that is in one of the outbuildings for the winter, and throw say a 40 watt lightbulb in there to help keep the temps a bit warmer, would I need to add any food during the winter? I'm thinking about the coldest part of the winter, late Dec thru Feb.
