The Containers:
You can use wooden boxes, plastic bins, or holes in the ground. A 1-foot by 2-foot by 3-foot box or four 10-gallon containers are big enough to compost the food scrapes from a medium size family. Punch 1/8-inch holes in the sides for ventilation. Tight-fitting lids help keep pest out of outdoor wooden boxes, but don't use a lid with a plastic container unless the container is well ventilated (holes 1 inch apart). A poorly ventilated plastic container will not let enough air get in and will not let excess moisture get out.
