You can throw the leftover vegetable roots and heads in it and pick them when they grow up and eat them whenever you want. It is convenient, simple and healthy!

Specific operation method:

1. Brush the empty oil barrel clean first. Oil barrels are not easy to clean, so you can put some sand in the barrel, add 1/4 of clean water into the barrel, screw on the lid, and shake it vigorously, so that the residue in the barrel will be wrapped together with the sand.

2. Pour out the sand and water, add clean water again, rinse the oil drum thoroughly, and then take it to a well-ventilated place to dry.

3. Use scissors or a knife to cut the oil barrel along the red line in the picture below. It does not need to be cut very neatly, but be sure to pay attention to safety and avoid scratches.

4. After cutting, you can put soil into the oil barrel. It is best to find the kind of fertile soil, which can be dug from the roadside. You can also add some fruit peels, vegetable leaves, nut shells, etc. to make it into fertile soil.

5. Then you can plant vegetables. This is cleaner and will not make the house smoky. It is also more convenient and takes up less space. When watering, just open the oil barrel and the water will not spill everywhere.
