7 Easy Ways to Compost Kitchen Scraps in Your Garden! 🌱

[@deboz8793]

I adopted a method my Mom had been doing for years. I bury the kitchen scraps into containers throughout the year, since I garden in containers. No fuss, no muss - and the soil is enriched by the next planting season. And if I’m lucky, I’ll get volunteer veggies in the spring/summer.

[@josiee0874]

Can't do it if there's animals around unfortunately

[@charlesgates9814]

Yes, in 5 gallon buckets. Or 30 gallon barrels, cut in half. At times, I am over run with volunteer potatoes.

[@deboz8793]

@@charlesgates9814 I would love to have that happen to me. Love potatoes. 😋

go to their shop.

I personally will happily endorse the Lomi mentioned at 3:18. We ordered one and used it every day, adding the mix to a bucket to further break down before adding to our garden beds. Yes, it was pricey at first, but if you have a small area and are limited on options, it works great. I also want to give a shout out to their customer service reps; ours started grinding loudly after a couple months and they sent us a whole new unit, didn't request us to send the old one back, and also gave us advice on how to fix the old one so now we have two. A+ company and I wish I had found them sooner.

My friend always took her scraps from her kitchen and swirled them with water in the blender. If you saw the results of what she poured it on then you would also be convinced it is an awesome idea. It's going to instantly make it all readily useable.

[@charlesgates9814]

I have heard of folks that, blend,. Then freeze it until they have enough to give away.

Please add the hoselink giveaway link! I love this channel. I learn something new with each post! Thanks for saving me from common mistakes

I don’t see a link to the giveaway

[@mkc0005]

I tried the worm tower idea last year. But here in south TX all that turned out to be was a huge neon sign for fire ants to move in.

[@AjArpopP52]

Thank you. I’ve wanted to figure out how to compost since I rent. Great information

[@bonniethomas723]

I have 4 compost buckets going. 3 will go directly in the garden to start them over. Ty for your information.

[@Oktopia]

I have great success with bokashi. Thanks to that, I don't have ANY food waste besides the soupiest stuff. I even put kitchen paper into it. I add a sprinkling of biochar to the bokashi to help with the moisture and smells. I also have a hot compost bin AND a cold compost bin made out of an old water barrel. I source horse manure, dry leaves, wood ash, comfrey, nettles, and other types of weed for my composting and also compost teas. My garden is working well thanks to the multiple sources of nutrition. :D

You said the link for the giveaway would be in description, but I can't find it? What's up? I tried the website link, and it wasn't there..

[@shaylanacub2978]

Omg I’m glad you just post this, I was wondering what you do with my scrapes! Thank you so much

[@Shesepankh]

Due to living in the bottom-floor of a flat, I use the food directly into the ground method! Works wonders & doesn't smell or look bad to everyone who passes the side of the building (where the container garden is). My garden is concrete-floored so I had to buy the worms, but they've since multiplied due to all the organic material to eat! Infinite worm supply now, I just have to lift up a wet plant pot! 🪱💝🌱 Love your videos, I'll try some of these other methods out like the container-in-container idea! 💚

[@TommyMLe]

Try selling your worms as bait for folks who like fishing 🙂

[@Shesepankh]

@@TommyMLe That's a fantastic idea! 😮 Unfortunately, I think I'm too attached to the little wrigglers... Though, if I ever have an infestation, I know what to do now 🐟🤣Thanks!

Worm towers for the win :)

[@Miniar-is]

Finally got a little worm bin started in my kitchen, it'll be a couple years probably before it starts going properly since you can't buy worms up here so mine got started with just a little tub of worms from a friend's established bin. There's probably less than a 100 individuals in the bin at the moment, but they're happy and well fed at the moment... I'm at that stage where I get them a piece of mango "as a treat" when I have a bowl of frozen mango as a snack. They're good noodles.

[@GoingGreenMom]

They multiply pretty quick! My best bin was just a Rubbermaid tote that Fit under my sink with some holes drilled in the sides and top.

Eh... there's no link... I just restarted my bokashi after moving internationally. Also doing composting in the garden and I can't wait to start my vermicomposting again as well as getting chickens in spring!

[@JonShep93]

I don’t think I’m the only one trying to find the link! I don’t think it was attached to the description!

[@humanbeing1168]

Had a diy two bin vermicompost system for about 5+ years, then something happened to one of the buckets and it just became a 1 bucket system. It worked well but harvesting the vermicompost was a task. Then had a compost tumbler for 2 years. It worked ok, not amazing. Ended up unable to use for a couple months because it ended up being an ecosystem for like unknown Amazonian huge gnarly bugs that could fly and roaches the size of kittens. Couldn’t get rid of it fast enough. Then moved to in-bed vermicompost bin using wired baskets. Ended up being a basket FULL of potato bugs (Rollie pollies, whatever you call them), and dried produce in the bottom. Worms took off. For the last year I just dig aside a hole in an empty area with one scoop of a hand shovel, dump the scraps and cover. Or just toss them somewhere. So far it works great. Worms get it, no plastic involved, no undiscovered bug species. No funky bucket.

I would have watched the video without the teaser for a giveaway, but not being able to find it was a disappointment.

[@cherylskornik1512]

Great video! Thank you! I do not see a link in the description for the giveaway, I am very interested in entering the giveaway. I love hoselink products. I use their weeping hoses, the quick connect system and their new garden bag. Really nice sturdy and easy way to clean up trimmings etc. I also would love to win a birdie raised bed as I have not been able to purchase one due to finances. Thank you for the opportunity
