Awesome! I would do this if I wanted to save space for my compost pile. My grandpa always had a good sized area near the garden for composting. It wasnt even a heap, just flat ground. He left a shovel near it. We would go outside, scoop a portion of dirt out, then drop all the scraps from dinner in the hole and cover it up. Every couple weeks he would till the area. He had the same compost area for 40 years and that was the richest soil I have ever personally seen!

i've been procrastinating on doing this because I was thinking I'd need drainage pipe and caps because that's all I've seen people using. It never occurred to me to just use discarded containers with lids. Now I have a reason to clean all the empty peanut butter jars in my fridge. Thanks!

I just drill 1/2" holes all thru them, de-burr the holes, bury them 7/8 deep and then make layered compost beds inside with peat moss, shredded paper/cardboard, coffee grinds and bio refuse. Dump a couple containers of red wigglers on top and close it up. Works like a charm and they don't need much refuse to thrive. Did 3 of them this year in same bed.
