[USCC] Composting Carcasses in Windrows

Wed Jul 1 14:29:21 CDT 2009

Hello Zahida, I have done some small scale demonstration composters for 
children in a school gardening club.

I used clear plastic fizzy pop bottles which I put a few holes in for 
aeration, and cut off the tops to allow some biodegradable materials to be 
added.  I also made a few drainage holes at the base.  Over the following 
days and weeks, children were able to watch what happened as the stuff 
rotted down. I kept these outside in a shady place, and on a couple of 
occasions watered them.

Was this the sort of thing you were looking for?
