I don't understand why dried grass is nitrogen but dried leaves are carbon…
Help please, I'm a beginner
"See if you can get a hold of some coffee grounds, most coffee shops will give them to you" I live in Finland, half of my bio waste bag is coffee grounds.
I just unliked this video..
So I could like it again!! 🙃
great video thank you
WHY ARE YOU FORCING US TO WATCH THIS ENGLISH VIDEO WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES???
I found asking friends and neighbours for their green waste and small animal waste has really helped me with filling my compost bin, I don’t think I should wee in mine as I’m on a lot of medication x
I'd really like to know where all these bloggers get there free or cheap pallets in the UK? Doesn't happen any where near where i live!!
the umbrella with water had me laughing 😀 thanks for the informational video!
Thanks for the knowledge that you impart to us your viewers
❤
there is a quick activation method not mentioned here: a mixture of water, sugar, bakers yeast and nitrogen fertilizer. One bucket of this mix sprinkled over and mixed into a 3 foot high pile of grass clippings will get the pile cooking! Cell walls will get broken down and get your composting effort a great head start.
This was by far the best video I’ve see on this subject. Thanks so much.
We keep a small 2 gallon composter bin on our apartment patio and put clippings from when the complex landscapes (grass clippings and dead leaves), kitchen scraps, and coffee grounds. We put broken up egg shells and minced avocado peels in there too. Every couple days I'll shake the bin to toss the compost inside to get it aerated.
The egg shells work wonders for getting peppers to fruit because of all the calcium in them. We currently have 5 medium sized potted pepper plants and a roma tomato plant that are fruiting.
Well, i love gardening and this channel is my FAVOURITE🤠🪴🪴🪴🪴🪴🪴🪴🪴🪴🪴I LIKE YOU BEN

Hi Ben can I add rhubarb leaves to compost heap?cheers alby
I was always told to add sour dough discard for a faster compost.
Thank you for clarifying that even brown dead grass is actually nitrogen although it looks like carbon …I don’t have access to animal manure but do have coffee grounds daily …I do need to turn more often but am guessing in the Deep South that’s not doable in 100 degrees but do add water …your compost looks amazing …as always thanks for your knowledge and expertise…
Thank You so much ,its so informative!
In Texas you should check before you put you hand in there (rattlesnakes you know)!
The only question is, can I put a lot of cardboard in theyre😅
