    seems a little too small, but it might work.

    Bigger holes. Much bigger holes. Use a power drill and put lots of 1/4″ to 1/2″ holes all over it. The more and the bigger the air holes, the more air can get in, and the less likely it will go anaerobic and start to stink.

    Especially holes in the bottom, so any liquids can drain out.

    I drilled large holes in mine. You want good drainage.
