Abstract: An aeration and drainage system includes an aeration & drain pipe which contains slots on its upper surface, a stand which holds said aeration & drain pipe above a bottom surface, an air and liquid transfer element attached to the aeration & drain pipe and positioned over said slots. Additionally the air and liquid transfer element extends upward from the slots, and the air and liquid transfer element contains openings on its top to allow fluids to flow into the air and liquid transfer element and through the slots in the aeration & drain pipe.

Abstract: A system component, method of using, manufacturing and installing such, which facilities both the aerating of compost and the draining of liquid formed therein, utilizing a Especially formed component having an extruded longitudinal projection with a surface in which holes may be formed therein after embedding, in a concrete floor, with the surface and holes substantially level in the concrete floor so that fluids may readily either enter or exit through the holes in the component. When connected to an appropriate collection of peripheral supporting equipment, accordingly a set of such components can be utilized to create an efficient composting facility which permits fluids, typically air, to be easily forced into or out from compost residing thereon and excess effluent, typically liquid, which may be contained within the composting material to easily drain therefrom.
