Because of your videos I have been composting for a couple years. Trying something different this year starting a second pile this fall,knowing that the cold will stop it working this winter. Question will it take off again next spring or should it be allowed to finish cold next year?
Thanks for sharing.❤
Is it ok to compost old squash leaves that got hit by powdery mildew or other diseases in the compost bin? I have read it depends on if you hot or cold compost. By end of season all my vegetable plants have something wrong with them.
I found a brand new spinning composter at a yard sale for $5. It makes compost so fast! Not much at a time but it’s the fastest.
Is it better to spread compost in raised beds in the Spring before planting or in the Fall?
Wish I had more room, and more energy. This time of year I've got complete garden burnout. 😮😮
I wish i had started composting earlier. I thought it would be complicated, take lots of work and be smelly. It does not have to be any of those.
Does anyone who uses straw mulch amend with compost straight on top of the old straw mulch? I have several raised beds that i put together just this year, so compaction is pretty significant. I'm still growing, but I'm planning to add 3-4" of composted horse manure and chicken bedding/compost (that will all be composted down) over the winter, and I've been debating whether I should pull the old straw mulch out, or leave it in. If I leave it in, can I add a thick layer of compost onto the beds w/the layer of straw as is, or should I mix the straw in? It's already composting down in some of the beds, so I'd think leaving it and adding a significant layer of compost would work ok.
Thank You!
I have one compost bed that is completely done….Im in Ohio….should i put it on my garden now or save it till spring??
I'm lucky. I live down the street from a nursery that sells a yard of mushroom compost for $30.
I can always get better! Thank you Luke 😊🇺🇸
I have been composting for years. Learned a lot watching videos like this. I no longer try to “hurry” my compost. I start building my pile in the spring and add all my yard and garden waste thru the late fall. Weather permitting I may stir 1 or 2 times during the winter then again several times in early spring and top dress my garden with compost after my plants have established. I even add small amounts of meat, fat and dairy to my pile.
I really need to focus on making my own compost. I've had many failed garden seasons due to contaminated free compost, multiple times 🫣. This year I decided to ro buy soil to ammend my beds and it was completely nitrogen deficient. 😢 I have decided I'm going to ammend with natural nutrients or compost I make myself. Wish me luck.
Laziest way to compost is to plant your squash and other deep rooted plants directly in and around the compost pile. Our compost bin was mistakenly placed in a full sun area because it was closest to the kitchen. I've wanted to move it, but the wood is falling apart, so any attempt to move it would likely break it. Volunteer squash kept growing out of it every year, so I figured it would be a good place to plant my angled luffa. Everything planted near it grows exceptionally well.
Is that a squirrel running in the background of intro or what? Looks awesome!
