You just can’t get enough compost,we have seen many people take an allotment on and in a couple of years give up,think of an allotment like building a house,you start with the land,then the footings,then the build,then the interior.much the same as an allotment,get the soil sorted first and it takes 2/3 years,then you reap the reward,allotments are a lifestyle not a fad,our friends & family look bewildered at the amount we grow but we love it,happy growing to you all.

4:30 A tip of you're going to do that. Do it wearing a fluorescent jacket. No one will bat an eye at you

So many wise word's Steve, thank's for the video! 🤗

Thanks Steve, first year growing, great info and good advice. 😊

I have my nose in skips all the time as there is always decent off cuts of 2x1 inch batten,4x2 and many other treasures for us gardeners, fruit and veg wholesalers have skip loads of waste veg with banaas and cabbages packed with potasium and nitrogen. I love these composting updates it's something I want to Master. Great video Steve.

Great advice. Thanks Steve

It's a mighty beast, I was thinking of getting one, thanks for the review.

Just went out and collected 2 large bags of grass clippings thank you.

Great advice about being legal Steve. Brill video

Gosh! this makes hot bed composting look a lot easier than having to rake around to mix up the layers of various different ingredients, and not having to worry about what proportion of each to put in. I’d love to see how quickly this heat it up As always, thanks very much for all of your very Informative videos

I put my veg waste and leaves on the lawn and run over them with the mower which does a great job of cutting them up and of course give me grass for the compost bin

I love grass cuttings as a mulch on my garden as it keeps the weeds downxx

Tea bags do not decompose in domestic compost, only industrial composters, according to tea companies such as Yorkshire Tea.

yup we're proper tea leaves in a proper pot girls here.... we were joking the other day that we think our garden is fueled on coffee and tea - the amount of it we seem to add to the compost :D Loving seeing you getting your hotbin going - I can't wait to see you empty it :D

👍

Thank you , Steve... easy to follow and great advice all-around.

Hi Steve, lots of information about composting with great detail & advice too. Thanks for sharing and take care 🙂

👍👍👍, A great update Steve, Take care

Nice video Steve I always reuse my potato buckets compost every year, I just add blood fish and bone to give it some boost again

That hotbin looks the business Steve! Great video. Danny 🌱

Steve, you would have been proud of me yesterday, I took my big barrow and rake and collected all the grass the council left on the verges outside my house. We also collect seaweed from the local beach which is quite legal in most, if not all, beaches in England. Also cardboard from supermarkets. I love composting which sounds strange from a lady of advancing years 🙂. Good video as always.

I have at least 500+ lbs of pulp from apple pressing each year, and it requires layering with all my green, kitchen, etc. waste, or it will stay as great undecomposed lumps until Spring. I use 2 builders bags for green stuff, another one of cardboard and a few big lidded bins (rats will go for it if exposed) of pulp all awaiting what's already in the composters to sink down or rot enough for runner bean/sweet pea trench filling.

Really interesting video Steve, well done mate, lots of food for thought there 😀 have a great week and stay safe David 👍👍

I've trying hard to make more compost, I've got a second heap on the go. My main heap I'm leaving alone now. It's 3 quarter full and full of worms. Hope to have it ready by December

👍😀

Steve, I’m interested to see you using your used cat litter in your compost. I run a Cattery and have soooo much litter (wood pellets) to dispose of but have resisted adding it to the compost that I use on my vegetables. I don’t have a hot bin, is it ok to add it to my cold compost pile?

im thinking about putting a copper tank jacket around my compost bin to retain the inner heat....barmy i know but we have to try new things

Great idea not Barmy at all 👏🏻

Another cracking video Steve Just taken the tops off my potato towers I will be emptying them next week I think I will put some pictures on the potty mouth discord

Im planning on lining my pallet compost bins on the outside with some polystyrene when I can find some thick enough. Do you think this will help or am I wasting my time. Your thoughts would be appreciated.

Hi Steve take a look at nialls garden -he shows you how to make a hot bin -made my own total cost £40 -trying it out now-worth a look

Very informative Steve thank you. And now I know what the white stuff is on top of my hotbin pile. Can I ask how you use the liquid you get from your hotbins?

what a great video....full of superb info.....but please be careful with those shears....or there will be one less pecker in the woods

Yes agree, healthy for heart and head to get outside. I have heard that urine is a good activator (especially male) for composts, do you know anything about male v female urine for composting?

Steve, I recall you recommended some jute twine before. You you please remind me which one? Thanks

How is your DIY hot compost bin doing - the white one behind you at the end of the video that you made with sheets of polystyrene and cargo straps? Is it anywhere close to as good as the professional (and very expensive) version?

Good information Steve. Just a question. Do you use a electric mower or petrol? I have concerns about petrol fumes contamination

Wouldn't that composter be losing heat whilst you're chopping up that vegetable matter. Would it have been better to chop it up first before removing the lid.

Where did you get your hot composter from ?. I've not found one that big yet. Alan from Droylsden plotters.

Have yow not ass the man next door to got the chickens for summer his menu

I have the smaller hotting but it's full of worms! Am I doing something wrong?
