You have hands down the best composting videos on KZread. I watched your other video I think maybe 2 years ago when I first got into composting. I always referred back to that video any time I got confused and watched it multiple times through during my beginning stages of learning. I’ve came along way since then and just wanna say thank you. All these years later I came back to the composting community on KZread to see some winter tips and who do I see but my favorite compost guy lol. You can imagine how excited I was to watch this. Out of all the videos on KZread yours always just made the most sense and helped more then others. I don’t think I’d be as good at composting as I am without your content. Its Always a pleasure thanks again.

I made it to the end and enjoyed watching. Great video. This is the first winter I’m composting. I live in Canada , and built 3 piles in the month of November. Mostly leaves, shredded paper, saw dust and planer chips mixed with kitchen scraps , pumpkins and coffee grounds as you say. There was in the first pile several plants and garden clean up also. It’s freezing temps for the last week , but the piles were off to a good start and had built up to core temps of 140 degrees F . I find different opinions on turning winter piles but I’m looking forward to trying to keep it actively going. The 3 piles I have total in volume of approximately 4.5 cubic yards in my large composting bins made of scrap plywood and T posts. I plan on turning and making it into at least 2 piles having already acquired 60 gallons of coffee grounds and 20 gallons of pumpkins so look forward to finished compost by spring. Thanks for sharing your experience and the good info.

Thrilled to see this because, as I watch this, the pile of pumpkins that have arrived on my drive is growing. I put out a notice on the local face book page and people are only too happy to have somewhere other than the household waste. I also get the coffee grounds and spent hops from the local brewery. When I have the chance I gather seaweed from the beach after a storm and this is a welcome addition to the pile. Love composting, it is a kind of alchemy and also nurtures my maternal sense as I feed the earth and make it happy!

Similar tip to hitting up coffee shops for grounds, find any local places with salad bars. They'll usually save the nightly throw-away if you ask them to. Probably have to give them a couple of buckets. A better, but harder one, is if you can get a local Subway to do the same. That's a lot of nightly throw away if you're trying to accumulate a lot of greens.

Great tip! I will add that if you keep an eye on FB marketplace and those sorts of resources, you can sometimes find *food grade* buckets and lids for really good prices. I pay no more than two-three bucks for 5-gallon pails and a dollar for lids. When food packing companies etc use them, they're only allowed to use them once then they have to sell them or have them carted away somehow. One local source I've gotten such buckets from is a charity group that gets them by the pallet-full and sells them to raise money for their work, so that's a win-win-win. Feels nice. Firehouse Subs chains sell their pickle buckets and lids for I think 2 dollars - they smell like pickles of course but if that bothers you, scrubbing them with a paste made of baking soda and water removes the vinegar smell. I tried that on a whim and it works, but I don't really think it's neccesary. Other restaurants may be able to help you find buckets as well as food waste, too. In contrast to all those sources, the paint pails found at big box stores are not food grade (they actually stink like "chemicals" if you poke your nose in them), they're thin and flimsy, and they cost too much. Tractor Supply Co and similar places do carry new sturdy, food grade buckets, but they want almost six dollars for them, without a lid. I only buy those if I really need a couple right away and don't want to wait till I find a better deal.

Made it to the end. Gotta see the finished product. I am fortunate enough that we have a brewery a few miles away and they give out spent grains otherwise they have to pay to have them hauled away. I take a 5 gallon bucket and they fill it for me. I dig a hole in the center of the pile, just like you, and dump the whole thing in the middle. The pile heats up like crazy. You only need to flip it a few times over the next few weeks to spread the grains around and aerate. I also cover with a sileage tarp held down by rocks and bricks. That also helps keep some heat in and rain and snow from washing away the compost. Keep making videos like this. Thanks

Hello! The chicken manure might (or often, I'm not sure) contain Salmonella and other pathogens. So, if you aren't using the compost on your food crops you might be fine. Otherwise, the USDA has guidelines on how hot the compost needs to get to kill it, or how early you should apply it so that any pathogen is starved.

Excellent - thank you for the kind words and good luck this winter!

Yess watched it to the end as always. Love your videos and all the detail. Every year mulch up my grass and leaves with the lawn mower and put it on my garden at the end of the growing season. Love the leaves and pile them in a circular fence for leaf mold. There also good as a filler in the bottom of my pots in the spring so you don't need as much soil.

Thank you Nora! I agree with your strategy! Everyone should be using every bit of organic matter for helping their plants, whether it is a flower pot on a porch or a vegetable garden.

Just found your channel and did watch to the end thank you for all the valuable info.

I made it to the end! I’m new to gardening and I was looking for months on how to compost cheaply without a tumbler! Fun fact: I’m in Lancaster county, PA! Anyway, amazing details and I learned all the way until the end of this. I’m excited to start building my pile this weekend. ❤

First time watching your channel. What a great video! You put a lot of work into creating a time lapse of your work. That's a labor of love right there! Thank you so much for sharing your method and posting this video. You've got a new sub. I'm in Zone 7A, but I live alone and generate very little kitchen scrap. Your suggestion about pumpkins is brilliant. At nearly age seventy and a female, I still build a pile every winter, no matter what. The reason I do this is because years ago, I had unintentionally started piling up yard debris, mostly leaves, and the remnants of that year's garden. I live in an area of extreme drought and never watered or turned that pile, yet the following spring, when I decided to dig into that pile, I discovered it had decomposed into beautiful compost, and the unforgiving ground beneath it was teeming with earthworms. Sometimes, life hands you random blessings.

Glad to say, my pile is finally heating up after watching! now at 120F. making the pile larger made a difference.
