DIY In-Ground Composting System Using a Perforated Container

🌱 DIY In-Ground Composting System Using a Perforated Container
Step 1: Prepare the Container
Drill several holes around the sides of a plastic container to allow for airflow and drainage.
Step 2: Dig the Hole
Choose a garden spot and dig a hole deep enough to fit most of the container underground.
Step 3: Add Organic Waste
Fill the container with compostable materials like fruit/vegetable scraps, coffee grounds, and garden trimmings.
Step 4: Insert the Container
Lower the filled container into the ground, leaving the top accessible.
Step 5: Cover with Soil
Sprinkle a layer of soil over the compost inside the container to help speed up decomposition and reduce odors.
Step 6: Moisten the Mix
Add water to keep the contents damp, supporting microbial activity and healthy breakdown.
