I dig holes about a foot deep in my flowerbeds/vegetable beds and dump all my kitchen compost (crushed up eggshells, coffee and tea grounds, vegetable peels, overripe bananas, fruits and vegetables from our refrigerator that have spoiled), toilet paper rolls, paper from the shredder, and leaves. I once had hard red clay soil and now I have rich dark soil with earthworms. No turning compost in bins, no worries about my greens and browns, and no expense. Anyone can do what I do. I will turn 67 in a few months.

I’m telling you, I keep it simple! About every 2-3 days, I start digging holes about a foot deep and bury whatever scraps I have collected. I cover the soil back over the area, water and let it go. Because I do it so often, I remember where to go next. I wish we had trees so I could collect leaves and shred them as well. Our trees are very small. Also, we have to have our grass sprayed 😢so I never use grass clippings. Bermuda grass and Ok winds blow in so many weeds! I will never do that again! We’re moving back to FL next year.

Literally NOTHING is wasted here! If we don’t eat it, chickens will, or worms will or it goes in the garden composting. I’d rather hang out with my chickens and my worms than most people❤️❤️❤️❤️

I've been over my father's everyday and noted his soil was just like dust. No organic matter added. My dad is a neat freak and leaves and mulch bother him. He can no longer work in his yard so I've been adding all foliage and petals back to the flowerbeds. I bury it so dad isn't disturbed by an untidy appearance. Now there are lots of worms and casting piles all over the garden. I even started a worm bin in his backyard. Free range worms under his avocado tree. The change has been amazing! The neighbors are now giving me dropped fruit to add to the yard. It's had a great ripple effect.

I used double-dig methods to grow our food, when I lived in Tucson. The soils in the desert are a real serious challenge. My laying hens shared a fence-line with my veggie and produce. In the middle of the afternoon, a tall wire fence shaded the garden. The wire fence supported cherry tomatoes, climbing beans, and melons. We bought meat for a couple of meals per week, and I baked our bread, early in the morning, before leaving for work.

I’ve never added worms to a compost bin. Get the material in and they just arrive. Also I use those plastic bins you don’t like and never had a problem. I don’t turn it either. I have back issues so don’t do any heavy work I don’t need to. I do however add rain water and I drive a metal pole in to keep it aerated. If I’m emptying a pile I will add any woody materials that aren’t fully composted into the new pile and a spade full of the newly finished compost.

Adding red wigglers, which are a different type of worm than US earthworms, speeds up the decomp of compost by orders of magnitude. All worms are not the same. Worms prefer to inhabit different layers & will not perform for you the way you think they should because they are "worms." Don't expect US earthworms (which vary) to perform like red wigglers who will happily inhabit a pile of compost many inches above the soil or in a closed container/bin.

This was such a comprehensive video and I learned so much I can implement in my backyard garden. I have a compost pile and have been researching vermiposting and love how you show that these go beautifully hand in hand.

I learned a lot from this video even though our climate is very different. Thanks for the effort. Also very well and eloquently presented, no filler words either. AND - the warning about broadleaf herbicides. Gardeners are almost certain to import them into their soil sooner or later (certainly in the U.S., and it looks like they are also used a lot in the U.K.) If one gets manure, compost, straw, hay from outside sources it is only a question of time. It only hits people that try to grow following natural principles. They have no chemical fix for the fertility demands so organic growers have always been on the lookout for manure and the like, regional (free) resources. Some do not have space or time to make as much compost as they need, or they want to avoid costs. Charles Dowding in England produces for the farmer's market, his property in urban area is not _that_ big. So he would like to get manure and he bought compost in the past - but it got so bad that he did not use ANY outside material before testing it with seedlings. He has had the habit to store compost or manure for some time after he got them, but that does not help with aminopyralides. So many gardeners, homesteaders, market farmers, organic farms have been burned, and that seems to be an international problem for smaller growers. I am binge watching gardening videos, and know of several Canadian Permaculture Legacy, Growfully Jenna (I think she is in Texas), another person in a Southern state (forgot the name), Charles Dowding UK, and a smaller channel in Germany ..... Aminopyralides are the new & international herbicide from hell.

@@soniahofmann4969 I think my main mistake was not adding enough water. But, another reason I'm switching to worm composting is that it's easier for an old lady like me to manage. I was periodically taking a pitch fork to my two 3'x3'x3' bins & it was too much for me. I found a very busy Chick Filet (sp?) in my city that has enough leftover buckets by mid-day on Saturdays to give me a few each week. They usually aren't able to hold on to the lids, tho, for some reason. Using a method I've seen many KZreadrs post about, I cut a huge hole in the bucket bottom and drill and smooth many 1/2" random holes up and down the sides. I then bury 2 each in every garden bed so that only a few inches sticks up above soil level & I add the lid with a stone on top to weigh it down. I wasn't sure what worms would be best, but I bought European Reds f/Uncle Jim instead of Red Wrigglers cuz I want my worms to burrow deep & wide and aerate my whole bed. I keep adding layers of kitchen scraps and brown matter to one bucket until I see signs that usable compost has formed. Then, I start feeding the second bucket so that the worms will leave the first one & I can harvest the compost they made.

I love this info. Have to scale it down quite a bit because of space and lack of sunny spots in my yard. But every little bit counts!

Thank you for your knowledge sir I found your video very informative

at 6:43 I would consider adding in the sunshine factor, too. The plants photosynthesis is, or is part of, what creates those sugars etc. being released in the 1st place. Properly managing our land, keeping it covered with plants as much as possible and managing those plants well, such as with holistically planned grazing - see Alan Savory's presentations on this, in particular the one at Harvard U ( has a couple supporting points not always covered in others). Where grazing isn't possible ( and I'd encourage geese, ducks, rabbits etc. in suburban yards though ! ), mowing - which, as Jim Kovaleski demonstrates, can be done w a scythe & not on a tiny scale, by one, not young, man even ! - can be managed similarly. The main understanding of this HPG is to wait to graze or cut again until the plant has recovered sufficiently, learning to give the herd the right amount of space per the variables, for the day and then move again, to prevent them over-grazing the individual plants ( the tastiest ones) as they're trying to regrow. If they're nipped again and again as they're trying to regrow, they run out of reserves and start to weaken. Resulting in slower, shorter growth, thinning stands and so on. As Alan learned himself the hard way, the old idea of not grazing at all/less herbivores, does NOT help either though, esp. or at least in arid areas, where the grass dries up but doesn't break down into mulch/soil, on it's own, when it dies. Needs to be eaten and/or trampled. So, anyways, plant coverage absorbing sunshine and inclusion & management of animals are big parts of things on the total scale both of human food production and of land stewardship. Obviously not the main points of this vlog, I'm not picking on this vlogger !!! Just sharing info :) !

Great video. I really like the part about seeding the pile of shredded leaves with redworms! I'm leaning towards 'No Dig'. There is a school of thought that double digging upsets the soil food web and a fair amount of time is required to restore. Nature doesn't till. Many years ago in the fall I placed a 12' round of snow fence filled with leaves in my 'hard parking lot' garden soil. In the spring tilling was tough going until I got to the spot where the leaves had been all winter. Then the tiller sank effortlessly to it's maximum depth. Nature did the tilling!!! So I'm convinced that deep mulch can be the answer to natural soil tilth and fertility.🙂

My pleasure.

Thank you for making this video I think I picked up on a few tips or more that can benefit my home garden very much I didn't realize it was that much of a big deal and could make that much of a difference in my food crops. I hope to use your ideas so I can produce more food for home and maybe that'll help me be able to preserve more food. Thank you

Great information thank you!

Wow fantastic information in your video post! Thanks. I’m in Middle TN zone 7a. My daughter is in Boulder & has a garden plot in a huge garden co-op. I go in Spring to assist with planting & teaching her my 62 years of garden management skills. I truly need to learn more about the chemical biological processes within soil and how plants can optimize my efforts. Blessings, Allison 🎄

Thanks for all the well-proven tips. Applying your thorough explanations really encourages each part of my garden to robust growth. Peace and health from the soil.
