Sehr interessantes Thema, sehr sympathisch erklärt.
Da ich gesundheitlich sehr in meiner Bewegung eingeschränkt bin, habe ich seit vielen Jahren mein eigenes System entwickelt, das so gut wie keine Arbeit mehr macht. Ich streue einfach den kleingeschnittenen oder gehäckselten Küchen- und Gartenabfall (mit Kaffesatz und gemahlenen Eierschalen gemischt) direkt locker und dünn auf die Erde in Hochbeeten und allerlei großen Töpfen und Blumenkästen. Da der Mulch von oben trocknet und von unten abgebaut wird, gab es nie Probleme mit Schimmel oder Schädlingen. Die bunten Schnipsel sind nach1 – 2 Tagen braun und sehen ordentlich und gepflegt aus. Das funktioniert bei mir selbst während des Winters ganz hervorragend und macht bis auf das Zerkleinern und Ausstreuen keinerlei Arbeit.
Seit 3 Jahren teste ich eine weitere Methode in meinen großen Pflanzkübeln auf dem Balkon. Hier habe ich jeweils ein breites weißes PVC-Rohr, das man für Dunstabzugshauben verwendet, in die Mitte der Töpfe gesteckt. Diese befülle ich nach und nach mit Küchenabfällen. Als "Deckel" benutze ich passende bepflanzte Blumentöpfe. So sind diese Blumensäulen nicht als Kompostbehälter zu erkennen. Und sie wurden in 3 Jahren nie voll, selbst im Winter wenn der Zersetzungsprozess wegen der kühleren Temperaturen langsamer ist.
its only possible to compost with what you have at thé time there really is no hurry as so many People are missled
Found a new lazy way, and that is large planter buckets, layer your spring garden waste in the bottom half, top off with finished compost, and plant courgettes in it. Ready to go on the beds next spring.
Similar to a bean trench- only in containers.
The bokashi has gotten ridiculously expensive! What is a usable substitute?
Way too much work. I trench compost everything and seed my trench compost areas for amazing easy to achieve results.
Interesting subject and I wanted to watch the video, but tour voice is so boring, so I was put off.
Hi Tony,
In one of your early clips it looked like you were putting potato peelings in the compost. Is this correct? I was told not to put them in as it can introduce disease??
Thanks
Dean
Only downside to home composting that i have found is its very addictive, over the years have made quite a few mistakes mostly by over watering or not turning enough but even making mistakes they are easy to fix and theres always garden gold eventually.
Only tip i could offer and know perhaps not much use to yourself Tony but with the pvc conical composters they fit on top of each other and if used as such help keep the heat in and stabiliseing the tempture.
Best hint I can give is “ don’t use a shovel on your compost”. Fork every time until the very last bit
Very informative. But… 90% of people make what mistake? Promised to be addressed at the end of the video and then not addressed at the end. If I missed it, what time stamp?
How do you call a shredder you put your material through? My chipper/shredder cannot do it 😢
My granddad used to dig a hole, put scraps into it and plant on top. Worked brilliant at his allotment and won awards.
Hi Tony, what do you think about using male urin on the compost heap?
Interesting! Thank you! We moved to a hpuse with 3 dalek style bins in the garden. We put food waste in but didn't know about turning it. I'll keep one empty and shovel it from one, into the empty one to turn it! It doesn't smell but I wentbto use some the other day and it hadn't broken down fully. It's been going for many months and is a bit like horse maunure in texture. Sort of straw like and sludgey. I'll give it a regular turn and see if it becomes useable. Thanks again… glad I found this 👍
Hi Tony, I have only just found your channel, and am pleased I have. I have learnt a lot about composting, despite having done it for decades. I am now 80, but still learning. I do have one question that a magazine I subscribed to ignored when I asked them. My question is: can I put brown dried laurel leaves in my compost? I have subscribed, rang the bell and given a thumbs up. Thank you for your channel.

Tony, Tony, Tony! The global climate warming change narrative is a lie. Carbon dioxide is the gas of life. Don’t demonise it.
Great and very clear video Tony. I feel very blessed when it comes to compost. We have 30 goats, 60 free-range chickens, 6 turkeys, 2 pigs and a busy bnb for kitchen scraps. They are all bedded on a deep litter of organic hay & straw. Plus we have a wood fire in the library and the house backs onto a mixed forest. It's open to the sky and I am adding to it and turning it daily. Rain water moistened and filled with red-wigglers. When I turn it, the chickens and turkeys help out by clawing after the wigglies. Blessed by the Compost Gods!
I’m leaving my compost bins as they are. Grass snakes breed there every year, so I must be doing something right. It’s fantastic to see a four foot snake in the garden or swimming in our pond.
I see some places where you could introduce more micro plastics into your garden and compost.
Thank you Tony
I use a blender before putting it in the compost bin. It's alot faster.
