My oldest kid made this to raise awareness for composting

I had a compost bin but I eventually just dig a hole in the ground and bury my food wastes.

Every since doing that, our weekly trash has been reduced pretty significantly. Instead of filling up our trash bin, we only fill up half.

Its been about 1 year, I've dug more than 300 holes in the backyard and I'm having so much fun.

But how do you then use the resulting compost?

when food breaks down in the soil, the compost is integrated into the soil so it's already used. Plants then grow better apparently, I've never had to buy soil from the shop

Isn’t it where you already want it? In the ground being redistributed by worms.
