We all spend a lot of our hard-earned cash on food, and quite often we waste a considerable amount of that money on food that we throw away. Fresh fruit and vegetables are vulnerable to this kind of wastage – particularly the vegetables, because they are usually stored out of sight behind a cupboard door.

The fruit and vegetable storage bin is an elegant answer to the above problem. Its shelving provides adequate storage space for about a week's supply of fruit and veggies for the average family behind a mesh door which promotes air flow to keep the produce fresh, and which lets you tell at a glance what you have on hand.

The plans for this project detail all you need to know to build the fruit and veggie bin and come with a complete materials list, step-by-step instructions and illustrations.
