Our watermelon radishes are done, and so it’s time to turn over one of these raised beds and plant something else. But before we do that, we need to see if we have some of our black gold ready that we can add as an amendment.
Join us as we check on our compost that we’ve been making for over a year now. We’ll compare the contents of each of our Geobin composters and then add some to one of our round raised beds before planting leeks and hardneck garlic.

How do you go about buying bulk compost
10 🏆
Compost looks good, 10/10. However I have noticed, from personal experience, that if you use a buckeyes bucket it super charges your compost. You should give that a try.
You're more than welcome for the Spanish Roja, Travis. I can't wait to see if it grows well for y'all. We're about to get a good 72hr artic blast here in N. Texas, so vernalization may not have been necessary. 🥶😂
That compost looks good. I'm sure the plants will do well.
Travis we have a huge compost pile how do you know when it's ready to use some of it!!
Also we are gonna have our first freeze thurs what can I not cover it's supposed to get down to 20 and possibly 17 for just a couple of day 3 inthink
Just ordered my fourth. Geobin…love them BUT
They are all flimsy if.u.ask.me
Name.brand one or knock.offs
I used some. Tpost.to.help.prop them up.
I think im gonna take.some waste lumber and make two stackable worm bins like old Alabama gardener (RIP) made. I LOVE how.he.can.get.at.the.gold
.tho i may.add.a.door to it to make it even.easier
His kinda.rotted and.gave me.the idea.for.a door
Well were.gonna have major.freeze so im probably gonna loose. Everything
So much for my brassicas peas.beets spinach and.lettuce
And goodbye to my flowers that were going so great..ones i have.never.been able to grow IN ALL MY 80 YEARS.
ONE BIG ROW OF FOXGLOVE SUPPOSED ANNUAL FIRST YEAR BLOOMERS
A ROW OF IRISH BELLS AND. ROW SCABIOSA
IM SO SO.DEPRESSED. SERIOUSLY. DEPRESSED
SO I GOTTA HIT.THE.CATALOGUES .AND.SEE.WHAT ILL.REPLACE THEM.WITH AND I.NEED RO START.THE.SUMMER SEEDS IN JUST.THREE WEEKS
I DO PEPPERS FIRST AND IM FONNA.SO 5 TIMES AS MANY THIS YEAR.WITH ABOUT.100 TO.GIVE.AWAY
OR.SELL
IDK
BUT ALMOST.5.BUCKS.FOR.FOUR TINY PLANTS.IS.A.CRIME
WE.GET.NO SPRING
Compost looks 👍 like others have suggested, I would add a small handful of works from your worm bin to the finished compost, maybe even a water with some of the worm bin juice, then cover with cardboard till the next time you need it to amend the next raised bed. Why the cardboard, to keep both the worms happy and to both stop it drying out when it's warm or leaching out nutrients when it's rainy.
The compost pile from last year looks good 9.75/10 perhaps the best is to put the compost worms in the newer pile to work on it, it will not last in the garden for short period of time till the compost is exhausted.
Like the Hard Neck Garlic, you may try a few in the ingrown bed, if you haven’t eaten them all yet, remember they don’t Store as well as the soft neck do😉
Beautiful compost and garlic❤❤❤
Don't forget to harvest the scapes off of the hardneck garlic, they're delicious 😋
I add alfalfa pellets to the pile. The extra nitrogen helps speed the process. A couple cups once a month
Like your compost! Merry Christmas to you and yours! go dawgs! Wish it was lsu but can’t win them all! dawgs really have good team!
This past summer was the first year I havent had any worms, of course its been about 100 all summer…so they probably cooked. But the compost did wonderful. Went very fast. Now to work on the tea. You can add stuff to the tea that you dont want in your compost.
Compost looks great, our process is about the same for making it.
I’m thinking of getting one of those 500 gallon geobins just for my fall leaves I’m not sure tho that seems like it would be huge
Good looking compost. One of, if not the best things you can put in a raised bed, they will love it. Add a layer at every planting now that you have it.
You have a nice Lazy Dog version of a Johnson/Su bioreactor producing fungal rich mycorrhizal inoculant for those beds. I'm grading 10/10. Beware, though, if the worms emerge before your eyes and run the "Script Ohio" drill. A bad omen for the Dawgs.
I hope the Spanish Roja works for you! Spanish Roja is in the Rocombole group of garlic, it’s generally considered to be the finest tasting garlic variety of all! I grow it in my garden here in the Toronto area, I have read that it prefers a cold winter to get a good sized bulb but since yours comes from Texas perhaps it has acclimated to a milder winter! Garlic will continue to adjust itself to your conditions for a good five years. The Rocombole group don’t store as long as other groups but they are easy to Peel. We normally use the Spanish Roja first before moving on to garlic varieties from other groups.

Can confirm… OSU buckets ate no good. Love, the Badger Sconnie.
I’m not a professional, but that compost looks good to me. Good job, Travis.
One Yard Revolution OYR channel has some really good videos, that may not really apply to you because he is in Chicago, but he puts leaves in hid Geo Bin till full and leaves it alone all winter and six months later or so he has compost. Yours looks great.
