Do take pictures when you have a chance. With Dustin back at home now, our compost is being taken out almost daily. When just Bill and I were here, it sat on the counter FOREVER and I would have to remind him to take it out. I think when Dustin gets a job and leaves, then I will need one with a carbon filter for smells.<br />JeannieJeanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11333123227073032453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5702232733892626337.post-75261795544937002472019-02-26T11:01:59.891-05:002019-02-26T11:01:59.891-05:00You need a diamond drill bit, at least I think you...You need a diamond drill bit, at least I think you do. That's what I use. And it has to be a certain kind of lid, with a "shelf" to hold the filter. I suppose you could glue it with another type lid, but I'd think you'd want to change the filter out every so often. I hope to get pics taken and the new crocks listed later today, and I always show a pic of the lid with filter, if that would be helpful.Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01156180100389224114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5702232733892626337.post-7476948364639369552019-02-26T10:21:36.752-05:002019-02-26T10:21:36.752-05:00I don't think my comment posted so I am going ...I don't think my comment posted so I am going to repeat myself.<br />My compost bucket is metal and the boys (whose job it is to take it out) have dropped it repeatedly over the years so it is warped. There is plenty of space between the bucket and the lid so that probably explains why I haven't had problems with odors. It looks rough so I have been thinking about getting a new one (from a yard sale, of course) so I will remember what you said about it needing air circulation.<br /><br />Jeannie@GetMeToThecountryJeanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11333123227073032453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5702232733892626337.post-60245370085355498532019-02-26T10:17:54.948-05:002019-02-26T10:17:54.948-05:00Oh, that makes sense.

Over the years the boys (whose job it is to take out the compost) have dropped it repeatedly and it is warped. The lid does not fit well so I suppose that is why we haven't had trouble with it smelling. I was thinking of getting a new one since it is really looking bad. I will remember what you said about drilling holes.<br /><br />Jeannie@GetMeToTheCountryJeanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11333123227073032453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5702232733892626337.post-41334673981553073302019-02-26T10:08:52.198-05:002019-02-26T10:08:52.198-05:00Jeannie, I put a carbon filter in the lid.
