We dispose of leaves safely and profitably using a barrel

In order not to burn cut branches and other garden debris on the ground, since after this nothing will grow in the burned area, it is worth making a special firebox. With it you can burn tons of garbage without damaging the area.

What you will need:

• old steel barrel 200 l;
  
• drill or breakdown;
  
• cinder block or brick.

Manufacturing process and recommendations for using the firebox

The lid of the barrel, if any, is cut off. Then a large perforation is made in the lower part of the walls closer to the bottom. To do this, use a drill or a punch with a hammer. The result is ventilation holes for air access.


The barrel is placed on bricks or other blocks so that it does not touch the ground. Then garden waste is poured into it for burning. It is important that the firebox is not located under the canopy of trees. The trash dumped inside is then ignited.



If the barrel had to be placed under a tree, then it should be covered so that the fire does not damage its crown. During the burning process, the garbage must be stirred up, so it will burn out completely.


The ash accumulated in the barrel is subsequently used as soil fertilizer.
