Here's our latest project - besides the bun in the oven! It began with a hole in the garden about a foot deep.
Then we insulated the hole with straw and inserted a ventilation pipe.
We layered the inside with sticks, leaves, and manure to initiate the composting process.
Now, it looks like we've built an outhouse in our yard. :) But it sure is handy. We are able to compost all our food waste, it never smells or attracts animals, and I even think it's staying warm enough to break down food efficiently. We'll check in mid-winter.
