This video is a fantastic guide for home gardeners! The tips on creating living soil and making compost are simple yet effective, promoting sustainable gardening. I love how it encourages intensive plant growth with minimal effort. Thanks for sharing such valuable insights!

Thank you for the video 👍

How to make composting complicated! People the woods do not care about proportions. If it falls on the ground it rots. Just do yourself a favor and load up your space(bin etc.) with organic matter from your yard and stir it up once in a while. If it doesn't rain in a week give it a sprinkle of water. If you don't have enough "browns" recycle newspaper and cardboard (minus the tape) tear or cut in small strips or pieces and add it in. SIMPLE! Old timers did it this way for generations. 1 caveat do try and keep chems out of your mix. Happy gardening!

❤🕊️ 🙏

Thanks, very helpful, and you have a very nice garden.

Thanks friend for information but how is that compare to rock dust

Why would an hoa have a problem with growing edible plants and not of growing non food plants? I dont get it, they are all plants

You just have to look at the soil underneath the leaf litter in a forest

Do the worms die in the winter?

Thank you

Damn. Found my new hobby. Thankyou so much for what you have done for all of us.

How do you separate the worm casting from the worm so you can use it

I am new to gardening, and at 50 cannot believe I have waited, love it. Love the freezer worm bed. Do you drill holes for oxygen?

Just discovered your channel. I’ve been binge watching your tutorials from making my own compost to what to do with the harvest. SO enjoying it. Wish I had the space you do. I’m surprised with how lush your garden is considering where you live. My daughter lives in The Springs and she struggles with the dry desert like conditions. 😊 forwarding your channel to her. We live in Northern Illinois. I have no excuse. 😊 Would LOVE to take your classes. I’ve decided I’m cutting out lawn and planting more gardens. 😊Finding the info you’ve shared very informative! Thank you!! BTW What type of boards are you using for the raised beds?

Will this work if I do your barrier fence on the outside of my permanent wood fence. ? I am desperate to keep deer out of my fenced yard.

I would like to know more about companion planting.

Why not add the worms to the garden soil and omit the compost work?

The “g” in ‘fungi’ is a soft “g” and is correctly pronounced like a “j”. However, the singular form, “fungus” is pronounced with a hard “g”

Absolutely the best video on KZbin.🎉I’m actually in hospital with destroyed microbiome and a gardener…your video is a plan for both. Thank you for sharing your wisdom. I’m in Colorado and would love to attend workshop to see your space. 😊

How do I keep the moles away from the worms in my bed?

I did this and it works. thank you

Red Wrigglers only tend to live in the top 15 cm of a pile, if you really want the worms to consume the compost you need to add it in layers over time matching the worms consumption

I'm not a person who expects things for free, and as a self employed business man I completely understand the value of personal effort and time. That said, it's a little rude (for want of a better word) to claim something to be available for free to draw in views and orders, when it isn't. I went to the link above. There's NO free material that I can find anywhere (except for a 'May mini course' which I haven't viewed as it wasn't the purpose ), much less the promised information on worm bins and compost. I very much appreciate what you've offered here on KZbin, and fully appreciate your time. My suggestion? Delete that bit of sound from the video. It was a turn off, at the least...and for the entire time I spent looking for a link (including using the search function, which just pulled up more 'login' links) it continued. It makes what you offer to sell seem like yet another 'gotcha' gimmick like that offered by so many of the other video content creators on KZbin. You have a great channel and I firmly believe in the thinking behind the concepts you've shared. I'd like to close with a huge thanks for what you share. This video isn't meant to be an actual negative. Just a polite suggestion on something I think could be improved.

Absolutely. If you have a ton of time on your hands or your garden is super tiny.

I love it

I live in an HOA community in Florida. My garden is on three sides of my house. Fourth year no issues! 😊

Great video! I'm impressed by your way to keep viewers watching AND learning!

where do the worms come from.

I used double-dig methods to grow our food, when I lived in Tucson. The soils in the desert are a real serious challenge. My laying hens shared a fence-line with my veggie and produce. In the middle of the afternoon, a tall wire fence shaded the garden. The wire fence supported cherry tomatoes, climbing beans, and melons. We bought meat for a couple of meals per week, and I baked our bread, early in the morning, before leaving for work.

“In a modern world where we are expected to minimize our footprint, this is one area where we can go in the opposite direction”.

The sheer beauty and abundance of your garden has brought me to tears. Reject aesthetic, reject scarcity, reject high cost inputs, just keep growing more and more my friends. Don’t ever stop.

complicated

That's amazing, I've seen so many methods but the way you explains the psychology behind it, and the simplicity of the system makes it the best in my opinion. Thank you for posting this video. Please post any other tricks we could use 🙂

Hello !! Do you have any ventilation at all in your insulated freezer, outdoor worm bin ? If so how did you choose to ventilate it. Have the worms typically survived winters in the insulated freezer ? Thank You !

How do you separate out your worms from the finished worm compost.

Carrot soup. 🤔🥕 Carrot muffins .🤔🥕 Carrot pancakes . 🤔🥕 Carrot bread . 🤔🥕 Carrot french fries .🤔🥕 Carrot cake .🤔🥕 Carrot cupcake. 🤔🥕 Carrot juice. 🤔🥕 Many people don't know that you can also eat the stems and leaves add it to your salad and your soups as well they are really yummy. 🤔🥕 If I had acres of land I would do the same . 🤔🥕 Last year I planted some carrot seeds but did not get much in return but this spring I noticed I had a few large carrots growing and my climate is really cold and really snowy during winter . I did not cover it or do anything special to it I honestly did not know I had carrots there . 😮🥕 Happy Joy yum yum yum. 🙂 Thank you for the wonderful add device. 🙂 God bless the American people . 🇺🇲😃🇺🇲

With the blue and white, you look kinda like Gilligan, lol. Great video, little buddy...

Thanks brother

Would you say you're in a sky island area? The surroundings suggest forest, but I'm well aware that the semideserts there are deceptive and what is a semi-arid zone can also be forested with hardy pines and junipers. How are you getting water and has the water column or equivalent been dropping over time or has it been stable? (I'm concerned about you or descendants eventually running out of water)

Thank you for telling us where you are gardening. I’ve been looking for someone gardening here. I’m from Alaska and this is all different. I’m in Montrose. Thanks.

I have several (3) old bathtubs that I want to start worm farming in, but I wasn't sure how to keep the worms alive in the winter here in Southcentral Wisconsin (zone 5b). This hot compost + worms idea is fantastic! I'm going to need to work on this idea... I just moved back to Janesville, WI after living out in Castle Rock, CO - I do miss the high desert! ❤

Are you using Eistina fetida worms?

brilliant!

Inspiring

Wow, deer must be smart then by thinking about their legs seriously.

I love your jungle! I'm also in Colorado at 8500 feet. For the last three years I've been growing soil on our new property. This year I'm ready to plant and I hope to have as luscious garden as yours.

11:30 From the refrigerator - How do you separate the 1000s of worms from the compost to use the compost in your garden? Maybe you are going to tell us!? OK you said you filter it through a screen.

“…when you can see a few seeds that are just breaking through the seed coat with just a little bit of root tip, that’s when you want to put them out to plant”. Yes, if you say to yourself “I’ll plant those first thing tomorrow morning”, then make sure you do that. If you forget for a few days, you’ll have what looks like orange alfalfa sprouts.🙁

How far apart can you set the outer 8ft posts with the braided wire?

Yesterday I dumped weeds and soil in my compost bins to cover over the bark and help everything break down. But I also unknowingly added microorganisms from the rich soil. Theres a location at the forest edge thats sunny where the earthworms bask under the leaves and there is a few inches of dark rich worm castings, no doubt loaded teeming with microorganisms. People who waste all their time on philosophy on saving the planet are losing valuable time where they could be amending their garden and compost piles with rich soil and one step closer to saving the planet, one household at a time. Thats another product that doesnt need mass transit, petroleum transportation and plastic wrap, and energy expended to transport that product hundreds, and even thousands of miles. Each item is one step closer to utopia. One step at a time. And the health benefits of a freshly picked green.. mmm!
