My wife was from Australia (I'm from Switzerland). Unfortunately she died last year of cancer at 36. We were about to move to Australia and wanted to live a simpler life: tiny house, gardening, more time for each other, family and friends. I'm sad she never got to see your channel, she would have absolutely loved it. I've been watching your videos for a couple of days and they're just so peaceful, relaxing, informative and nice. I've never thought a video about compost could make me cry... but here I am. They're happy tears though. I'm a positive person and I'm crying and smiling at the same time, because it's snowing outside, I'm drinking a tea and I know that would have been the kind of cozy day Laura and I would have spent together here at home with our dogs. Thanks for these videos mate, keep up the good work. It makes people happy ❤.

[@plantspit518]

I’m sorry for your loss. 35 is still so very young but I’m sure you made her time on earth much more enjoyable and she must have been cherished. I hope you have a great day and keep on with your positivity

[@TheWeedyGarden]

Thanks for sharing your story Marco 🙏🏻

[@bedigeneyingu1692]

Wonderful. Thank you for inviting us into your wonderful world. It is wonderful watching a hard working person enjoy his work. You summed it up at the end "you can't explain it...". No, not to the none 'weedy'. Greetings and gratitude from Uganda.

[@kathybrinson283]

Marco, I was very moved by your comment and I am So very sorry to hear you lost your wife. To hear that you both were seeking a simpler, quieter life really resonates with me. My husband & I are much older, (still Young in spirit & heart tho’); we live in South Florida in the US. We live a pretty simple, slow based life with our 4 lovely companions / our precious dogs- who are Family. I have been rather devoted to composting , fruit tree gardening and doing raised bed gardening in our lovely sub-tropical climate for the past several years. I urge you to continue with your dream toward gardening & living peacefully, simply and with a purposeful life including respect for our planet and all its creatures. If the masses would only pay attention to sustainability- too much emphasis on greed & $$$. Best wishes to you; don’t give up on your dream.

[@only0738]

You’re a beautiful man @marcolregina. God bless you Bholenath 🔱🌎

[@thebadmanrisesagain]

Anyone else notice the small details he puts into the videos like the extra swooping sounds of a bird flying by or a popping sound when he drops something onto the microscope slide. He really cares about what he does and it makes watching this so engaging.

[@heartheath]

So great that you notice these moments 🤗 Cheers Heather (Mrs Weedy) 💚

[@diyajackson9800]

Lol I came to the comments section for this. I thought I was just high 😂

[@okidot]

Yeah the whole video is incredible. Special stuff.

[@galalee]

As a video editor, I definitely noticed such details. Very nice!

[@dch.projects]

Yes, it was very refreshing to see (and hear) those details in editing.

[@gardenmind4515]

In a world of lunacy, a video on composting brings me back to reality and what is important in life!

[@csiribicsiriba]

Word

[@Canosa612]

Indeed. Agree with your statement 110%

[@MissileGuidance]

Yeah

[@remittanceman4685]

I was just thinking the same. 25 minutes of a guy making soil. So grounding. 👍👍

[@alantaylor3380]

As soon as I saw this guy look at his compost through a microscope I knew I was going to be a subscriber... You're a different breed mate!

[@petermarquebreuck9492]

For me, you’re the Bob Ross of gardening😊

[@cindyspiess9963]

Good discription , I agree .

[@jacobfarmer6762]

You have no business being such a man. Sir you are a living legend. Greatest videographer by far. KZbin was made for you.

[@kindradeleon9053]

Good stuff! Wish more people would watch educational things like this, instead of sports and celebrities. In the world would be a better place.

[@cindyspiess9963]

Agree

[@vladimus9749]

I just watched a documentary about a dude's compost pile... best 30 minutes of my day, likely my week.

[@alwoolhouse6255]

You are my kind of garden wizard - perfect combination of science + experiment + experience + get your hands dirty. Good man.

[@jolee6751]

I just found him and I'm Thrilled. He will be my only go to...cuz I'm all over youtube watching so many videos and getting nothing done 🙂

[@wildlifegardenssydney7492]

22:10 homemade soil sounds ! It all sounds, looks, and IS absolutely amazing. Mr Weedy you are a masterful storyteller and educator! So very wonderful to see this. Omg the beauty, microscopic springs in the drop of water.

[@R3WeldingService]

All natural 150 degree dirt oven. Simply amazing. This is the kinda technology that should be studied by all.

[@multiversejc]

Most thorough composting video I ever watched, thank you for the good advice, tips, tricks, & information. This will help my garden tremendously. 💯🙏🏼♻️🌱

[@wytchwoodhomesteadandkenne5036]

How in the world, as many gardening channels as I watch, have I managed to miss this guy? I am totally in love lol. Let's see... long-hair runs around barefoot like I do all the time chases mice around and makes beautiful compost. Loves the smell of Rich soil... And an Australian accent to boot. What's not to love? I just wish you could come help me with this mess I call a homestead in Missouri. Too many rocks, too much clay, no rain etc. But I'm trying. Thank you!! I needed this. Going to plant cover crops if it ever rains, then in late winter I'll cut it down, cover with my compost, tarp and let it sit till I plant it. I winter sow, so I have time to let it rest before things have to go out in the garden. I am using turkey, chicken, quail, duck, and rabbit manure, as well as grass clippings and leaves and plants that I've cut out of the garden from this last season excetera.

[@JamesWilliam592]

Hi my friend 😊how are you doing ❤

[@kathynix6552]

David is a real genius. Don’t forget the artistic flair, the magical video editing, the soothing voice and calm atmosphere he creates the beautiful attitude and ethos and the wisdom he imparts in the process. We are all blessed. Thank you ‘Weedy’

[@techiq7389]

Very informative. We use molasses here as activator for compost, it works wonders

[@samsammsammm1547]

Have been waiting for you to make an episode on the most important subject in self sufficiency gardening. And boy, you did not disappoint! A truly wonderful, educative and wholesome episode, where you explain the compost making in simple terms, without dumbing down the process. I truly hope this film becomes one on the most viewed finds on home compost making.

[@umerpashas96]

Absolutely

[@VermelhoLobster]

Great videos and films always. Lots of inspiration. Hope you can get ahold of an epi-fluorescent microscope one day.

[@TheWeedyGarden]

Thanx for the thanks 🙏🏻😃

You feel like bob ross

[@rachelcowan3724]

[@medyoussefslama3951]

the music the atmosphere the topic astonishing !!! 😍😍😍😍

[@GardeningandMyDailyLife]

Video thật vui nhộn ,thú vị xem mà thấy vui theo .vườn rau của bạn thật tốt 🌱👍.

[@vidasustentavel9465]

How good it is to see people teaching this composting process at a time when both the planet needs us to change our habits, and we need to learn how to produce at least part of our food in a healthier way, without pesticides. I hope many people learn from this video and understand the importance of this. Congratulations on sharing this information. Have a great week!

[@TheWeedyGarden]

Thank YOU 🫵🏻👍🙏🏻

[@tzipikathleenhartson6275]

That's some beautiful black gold!

[@we_want_chilli_willy]

Man, your enthusiasm for making compost is so inspiring, it made me want to build my very own compost factory. Awesome soil my friend.

[@bariaissa1737]

Well Done Excellent Video👏👏👏.Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge of information👏

[@tyclairep3744]

I'm working on the ambulance, and we had a moment, so I watched this, and I can literally smell Compost now. Great video!! It makes me wanna get out of work and work on my Compost for the garden!

[@saltybildo9448]

I built a 3 bin composter outta pallets and thnx to you I now know how to use it 👍

[@CultivatingLife-d6f]

This video is not only entertaining but also very educational! I've learned so much about the benefits of using natural fertilizers

[@elinolden1927]

Such a beautiful soul, thank you 🙌🏻💚✌🏻

[@mobiusprolix8454]

Nothing quite like the smell of fresh finished compost. Very much smells of an earthen forest floor. Cheers!

[@sampgilb78]

Great vibes my man! I just started composting this week and referenced this many times. Thank you...the passion comes through.

[@donnacochran3335]

It's amazing how much a pile breaks down. The bay went from being almost full to a little more than half full. I can't wait to see what you grow in that garden bed. I hope you have a wonderful day.

[@Alan-bi7dm]

I’m approaching eighty years old,not sure I’m up to turning my compost that often but I’ll give it a go.

[@TheWeedyGarden]

A good way to make it to 100 if you start slow 👍🫵🏻💪🏻😁

[@jeannamcgregor9967]

Your energy is amazing! I'm much lazier and only turn my pile once: I do that every fall and start a new pile next door. So I only get one bin per year but that's enough for my smaller garden. It doesn't get hot enough to kill seed (body temp is max) but we have a city compost program for the seedy garden debris so it doesn't go to waste. As always, amazing camera work David!

[@geraldhowse8597]

This is the best compost video I've ever seen.

[@volt8399]

Dude thank you so much for all of your hard work and willingness to share with us. I am so grateful!!

[@TheWeedyGarden]

So am I for your nice contribution dude 👍🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@topofthehillgarden6161]

Very educational, love the graphics 👌🏿 thank you for sharing your experience.

[@VeryGreenly]

Wow! This is the first video I’ve watched of yours. It is truly like a documentary. Most vloggers will not take the time to diligently and painstakingly film a process over a period of weeks. Your editing and creative style is very interesting.

[@Rosalinda626]

Wow look at you. So happy I found you. You make my heart smile. Love how you present your love for such one important way of life. I always said I was born at the wrong time. Loving what you live. ❤🥰❤️

[@thedude812]

Aced making learning fun. You would make a great teacher. Cheers on a great episode !!

[@elterago]

Ого! Я даже не подумал, что такую живность можно рассматривать в микроскоп. Вы подали хорошую идею. И мне нравится ваша конструкция для компоста.

[@jpsamy_inthezone]

70°C and free fertilizer 😍😍😍 Thats Free energy and food at one go ladies and gentlemen, its high time we start to feel great for yhe nature 💚💚💚

[@blueridgeboy6791]

Welp this rhis just became my favorite youtube channel. This is exactly what i need in my life. I grew up in a garden, but always knew that i could make one even better with some hard work. Now i know where to come to for some great information. Thankyou so much.

[@leahthomas4299]

Im loving all the positive comments too.. must be the energy Weedy is creating..

[@dch.projects]

Fascinating!! I've watched so many of these but this one had me in a chilled out trance with the music and the microscope images and your overall vibe. Thank you!!

[@everettmcdonald2088]

Weedy, I thoroughly enjoyed this video lesson on composting. I’ve been gardening and composting for 50 years and I do things slower these days. My compost pile is 1 1/2 meters square. I’m not very careful about green and brown although I make sure both are there. It only gets turned when I dig a hole in it to bury a bucket of kitchen scraps, and once a year in fall after the main garden is done for the season I dress each bed with a little rabbit manure, an inch or so of compost and a couple inches of leaves that were somewhat shredded when I got them up with my lawnmower. I just let it rest till spring planting and the soil is beautiful. I guess its a combination of bin composting and sheet composting. It’s fairly easy, and slow, but nature is slow and steady. Thanks again, you videos are fascinating.

[@TheWeedyGarden]

slow and steady is perfect

[@kathynix6552]

You can afford to go slow when you have such distinct seasons. If you are waiting for it to warm up you might as well be waiting for compost to decompose too. I’m in the subtropics so can use my garden beds all throughout the year. Actually I’m just starting out again at a new place and have only just started a little bit of planting. There is lots of planning and construction going on. I have started composting so I can fill my new beds eventually. I like David’s system for churning out lots of compost. I live on an island. I can get plenty of greens. Browns are more challenging.

[@sergiumitrea6437]

Hello from România, sir come in România to see how good soil we have, but i like a lot where you stay sir, it's amazing ...good luck , love and health from România

I love KZbin. Always discovering something new to me. I’ve been watching and following many different gardening channels. I’m glad I found yours. You make it very interesting and informative, and seeing things from under a microscope is nothing I see anywhere else. Definitely subscribed!

[@ihsanpirgan8584]

Wonderful presentation, yhanks a lot!

[@crystalclarity6526]

Enthralling, captivating, evocative, educative...what more can one say! Gratitude Mr Weedy; a truly spectacular video and so informative. Your film making gifts are sublime; not to mention your permie talents!

He’s going to enjoy tapping into your enthusiasm and resourcefulness. What an incredible service you have provided to curious minds! Thank you!!!

[@xavery7842]

First time watching. I knew i had to subscribe. One of the better examples of making compost. The veiws with the camera and microscope is genius.

[@carolexo7269]

It's a miracle Weedy....fantastic. Thank you.

[@Strider181]

Imagine throwing out billions of tonnes of compost materials a year, which is effectively what we do as a species. I luv turning everything i can into either chicken feed, weed suppression (like cardboard and paper) or compost. So rewarding, just wish more packaging was made from plain paper and cardboard. Also potato starch foam for packing white goods etc would be a giant step forward for waste reduction.

[@kiwioffgrid2437]

Do you compost your own poop? Why not?

[@Strider181]

@@kiwioffgrid2437 the process to safely compost human feces is a bit more complex and can have bad outcomes if not done properly. It has to stay very hot for long enough to kill all the bacteria and prions that could be transferred to a plant then back to you. Also why you don't use alpaca poop too apparently.

[@jonathanscarletmusic]

It ain't that complex. Grab a copy of the Humanure handbook and have at it. Been doing it for years. Amazing source of nutrients that we wash away using drinking grade water. Insanity

[@AndreVivian-zv1vm]

Hello old soul, proud of you for following your dream and sending you energy as you keep sending out to others and keep doing your purpose, there are many yet to follow you.

Weedy, from your very first video, you have captured and presented the everyday magic and miracle of LIFE! Both by your unique use of film documentary and living demonstration by a true "man of the Earth". Your gifts to humanity are rare and precious!
