Talk about some rich soil!! Wow! I love this, and boy those worms are going to have a true feast for sure. I have some hay that has been down on a portion of my lawn for about 2-3 years and I can't wait to move what is left and plant in that area this spring. All around that area it's green as can be, and everything around it already grows like crazy. I will leave a large portion of the composted parts of it on the growing area, and will be testing it to see how using just fresh hay does for this project. I plan on doing a test area with everything in it starting in the spring too. We have lots of worms in our soil, but it has not been touched in over 65-75 years, so I'm looking forward to seeing what works best. I really like your mounds, and will make several of those too. I considered raised beds but think I want the openness of the raised beds more. Thank you for a great video. Bless, Sheila
You said you used some wild plant matter in the compost….did you use horse nettle. I am asking because we had a big patch pop up on,the far side of our property and I wonder if I was care to cut down before it flowered and only used the leaves if it would be a good boost to the compost. I know they have deep deep roots but I can't find any info on it being an accumulater.
Hello I have been using a combination of different weeds to make compost for years. I think you're doing a good job. The results are you are harvesting. when others are just talking about gardening
Your composting knowledge is impressive and your gardening method is amazing. That is why this video really deserves a thumbs up. TFS. BTW, I'm not sure if you got the message yet. I named you as one among my nominee on this Nirvana Horticultural Gardening Challenge where you have to answer 10 gardening questions. I had a great time doing it.
Hi, Rick. I like using the aged straw too. I only have one bail of it left. I can not get it from the normal source any more. What I had to buy this past summer was full of weed seed and ticks.. So no more from them. I am going to go to mostly cut grass. Unless I find a better place. Thanks for sharing all you do.

I don't think your worms could ask for any better. You are a soil master, for sure.

What do you do with the hay in the spring when you take it off the beds?
You inspire me everytime to check my compost..
and be more diverse about what I allow in it.
