Can I use A Bucket With A 2 Inch Hole In The Top And The Bottom For Composting?

Question

I have some Home Depot buckets that I once used to grow plants upside down in. Now I’d like to use these for putting in vegetable scraps to make fertilizer. Will this work Ok?

Answer 1

Yes, but I would add more ventilation on the sides and cover the hole in the bottom so the contents don't leak.
