Food cuttings? Is this like food scraps left in the folders can to break down?

Yes veg and bread odds and ends no oils or meat. Its not good at all turns it into gross smelly slime. I know it is suboptimal but my it is my current setup
Why not try vermicomposting? I think it could take up less room and be less smelly
The real questions is kinda a cost monitary and time. Its simply a product of laziness. We drink coffee we add to the compost containers. Just saying my technique will yield subultimatly on “purpose”
You are capturing a waste stream, that’s better than nothing as long as you handle it all appropriately. I tried something similar once, threw all food wastes including meat and everything else into a food safe HDPE container, then I filled the remaining container with water and some soil to putrify. I let it sit for two years. I was trying to model an anaerobic digester or the bottom of a pond. Then I dug a deep whole in my garden in the fall, poured the whole thing into it and covered it with soil. In the spring melons planted on top. It scared me to handle it a little because who knows what’s growing in it. But I wouldn’t completely rule out the technique in the future. Would have been nice to have been able to get samples checked and understand what might be growing. But biology and time should fix anything.
Cool method, i stay away from meat cause of animals. My pile has eaten a racoon & an opossum corpse in the past 2 years. (Road kill but would highly recommend that you puncture their stomach)
I put the anaerobic muck inside my pile so it cooks, I just find that I have many people following along and at this point theres the right way, the wrong way, and my way.
I was thinking of trying this
Oh yer great
