Refrigerator Deconstruction
Before you can add soil to your refrigerator garden you have to remove the unused parts of the refrigerator. Removing the compressor and other parts can be Hazardous! Please seek additional information before attempting to remove and recycle parts!
After you have deconstructed your refrigerator all that should remain is the shell and the freezer door. The fridge door, all shelving, and parts that make the refrigerator run should be removed. Make sure there is a drainage hole in the bottom of the refrigerator.
