In a past YouTube video I discussed having an automated compost heap complete with heating, watering, and moisture detection. After a bit of research and trial and error, I’ve found a much better way to build the automated compost so that its better looking and more practical for an automated system.
The Soil
The soil will be low quality store bought soil of the lowest grade and quality. The point is to demonstrate that poor soil can be enriched as you decompose food items into it, aerate it, and water the soil when its dry. After a period of about two months the originally bad soil will be transformed into better soil, after five months of treatment I expect the soil to be ready for planting as the proper amount of nutrients have been added.
