    I just moved to FL and everything is sandy here – thanks for not just expecting your audience knows all this info you covered before. I've never seen it. Thank you!

    Raccoons, rats etc. dig this up in northeast, may I suggest used coffee grounds to completely cover the compost so as to deter critters…. Thanks for the upload! Best tomatoes this year from this method!!!

    Hi Dan
    Thanks for your new video. Its really great to hear from you each time and I hope you are doing well. I just started digging these little holes a few weeks ago. My instincts told me it would benefit the soil just as well as putting all the kitchen waste in the compost bin and waiting forever for it to break down. Its also easier to do this instead of carrying a big shovel to the far away compost bin and wheel barrowing compost over to the veggie patch. My husband called me crazy but now I can say Dan thinks its a good idea !!!!! Yaaayy 😁😁😁👍👍👍

    Greetings from arizona! We also do this and it works great. We just have to water it plenty so the roots don't rot. Look how rich your soil is! Clearly this is worked in the past. Cheers 🥂

    I have been told that this done too close to plants will lower nitrogen through some mechanism of decomposition. Have you noticed your plants having a slower growth initially, or any nitrogen problems with this?

    Is it shallow enough so it doesn’t do that methane thing that food scraps in landfill? Thanks!

    Thanks Dan, for reminding me why I have been utilizing this composting method for decades. Only in the last couple years (since my husband p[assed) have I been using a compost bin, because the digging is a bit challenging for me. He would always dig a deep hole (off the beaten path) and throw soil on top every time I threw scraps in, until it was full, then start another hole. My peach tree loves it. ( :
    Dan, you, Alice and Lovely have a marvelous Day!

    I do that too and it works amazingly. We got so much rain this year that we ended up getting pumpkin, tomato, and winter squash volunteers. Ruth Stout method does that too, except she would just put it under the 8 inches of hay. We go through about 2 gallons of food scraps a week so this is super helpful/easy way to compost. It is normally pretty dry so I don't have enough leaves/grass clippings to do a normal compost.

    Great method for sure. One other advantage is all the other vegetation will benefit from the nutrient release when the material is breaking down via the Mycorrhizae network !

    I think it's amazing how worms just show up. It happens in my compost bin and I've got plastic underneath my compost bin between the soil because tree roots eat my compost. I got these little red wigglers all in my compost.

    Hi, this is a great idea and works really well unless… like me you live somewhere like Queensland, Mission Beach tropical far north Australia. This method attracts our large goannas and monitor lizards who dig down deep attracted to the smell. Bricks etc don’t work as they still hover in the yard eating our birds and native frogs that breed in our property each year. So have had to go back to worm farming and compost. Thanks for the post though and also for mentioning that wildlife wanting a free meal could be a challenge! 😊

    I have been thinking about doing compost that way as I have a compost bin but it takes forever to break down
