Thank for your advice nice to learn it big help

Sharpen the shovel to make the chopping easier and when moisture needed, pour in a flat beer instead of (or in addition to) water. the hops and grains help heat it up better.

its dangerous to sharp a shovel.... with a bad strike u can harm yourself... by accident... there are other tools u can use to do what ur thinking

I like what Mark from self efficient me does more and I tried this winter and love it. It is to just dump all your stuff in a pile and let your chickens do all the work

I wish I still lived in Cali...miss it!

Every tine I use my home made compost I say a little blessing for u for u owe it to u ,very beneficial to my garden Saving a lot of money , get better harvest and way less garbage to the landfill, thank u 🙏👍👍❤️

CaliKim is the best gardener since Noah got off the Ark and planted a vineyard

You are the reason that I’ve started composting. I’m trying multiple methods, i. e. Plastic trash can, bin that I turn and a wire fence bin. I’m having so much fun experimenting and learning about this. I can’t wait until next spring to start a garden.

Anyone with a little space should compost. It's amazing how empty your trash cans can be, when you compost your paper, food scraps, and tree leaves. If everyone with space did it, we'd have free compost and lower our carbon footprint. And it's cool to witness trash magically turning into dirt.

I moved to the suburbs six months ago and thanks to this video have started composting. Where do you keep their kitchen scraps while youre waiting to make a compost pile. I’ve started keeping them in the freezer but am worried there wil be too much? Maybe I’m overthinking it. I guess the best thing is to have 3 compost piles. But for now I will start with one.

Been wanting to start composting, this was helpful. Thanks

This video is RIGHT ON TIME!!! I just posted a video asking for help on how and where to put our chicken and duck coop compost.

I’m so excited to get started. Thank you for this how to- on composting.

That was THE best explanation of composting I’ve seen !

Very good video, good presentation, step by step guide, makes the work simple and fun. Thanks for being kind and generous to share this beneficial tips. Bless you.

I just made a tumbling composter with a plastic barrel, a pallet and four casters for the barrel to roll on. Seams like a good way to really mix everything up. Loading it up for the first time today!

Thanks for the idea, helps the environment too.

Great video and some really useful info and tips. Thank you

Thanks I'll try it

I've watched so many videos on composting OMG. Thanks for keeping it short and to the point. I'll have to get one of those sacks, just started my first compost in a cow feed bucket. Wish me luck.

Great video! My tip is never let your compost get too dry. Good drainage is important, but the bacteria that break down compost need some moisture to do their job.

Ah! Goes to show for myself I need to look more than once at episodes shown. My pile was shrinking as I added material and may have been thinking I was doing something wrong.Well now I know it’s perfectly normal. Another video from you did point out a mistake I really did make. I was not placing materials on the bottom conducive to giving air flow. Thanks for these tips. Will endeavour to apply them as time goes on.

Great stuff. Many thanks.

Great videos..... I drink lots coffee so I've got my grounds... Thank you....

Nice! 👍

Nice!!!

Thanks for showing and explaining this so good in detail! Where does one get these Compast sacks?

Nice video! I like to put my greens into a trash barrel 1/4 way up and use my weed trimmer the chop everything up faster. I use my leaf shredder to chop up the oak leaves into a finer mix. Living in central Florida we have more oak leaves than another kind of leaves.

OH MY GOSH I AM SO GLAD I FOUND YOUR VIDEO.. I have a small composting roll bin and have been filling it . now that i know im going to take it all back out chop water and start over. thank you

Smart 👍

I deliver newspapers, so I pick up the grass clippings on the side of the road on my routes. I mulch my excess papers and add sawdust and whatever else I can find. It's all free. To add a little phosphorus, to the mix, I take a few clumps of kitty pee from the litterbox and mix that in.

Hi very good videos after that use that compost to activate it whit biochar for gardening . look up the history of biochar for gardening have a nice day Kenny from northern Kentucky USA

Wow,sister

It takes longer; but, I use hand-held pruners or garden shears to cut up yard trimmings. During the lawn mowing season, I try to rake up the cut grass; but, the lawnmower that the lawn maintenance crew uses chops the cut grass so fine that it makes it hard to rake up. My compost bin is a large Rubbermaid garbage can that we drilled holes in. The bin only has trouble getting hot during the winter and early spring. But, I keep putting stuff in it. I don't have a pitchfork; but, I have a tool called The Claw that I can use to turn the pile to a certain extent.

You can use vegetable and fruit scraps (eggshells, coffee grounds, and tea bags too), but no meat or dairy products. Let me know how your composting goes!

Nice Video ,and explaind.What if I add some soil and Curd in compost bin with dry and wet leaf , vegitable peals??

Hi Kim thank you for this easy composting. One question, will this size of compost generate enough heat to heat up a 11ft x 10ft x 7ft greenhouse? Or should I have more then one compost bags? Thank you
