Compost pit

The simplest compost pit: three sticks of sharpened kawayan (bamboo) and a rice sack with the bottom cut out. I'm teaching the volunteers and local families how to use these, and although it's one of the simpler practices to comprehend, it's amazing just how often it gets neglected or goes wrong. The idea of throwing food away in a trash can has become appaling to me.
