The backyard composting segment makes composting sound so technical, talking about ratios of matter, heat vs cold composting, etc., which I think sounds overwhelming (and scary if your compost doesn't heat up enough) to many and so hence they don't give it try. This is a prime example of overthinking something and making it overly complicated. I have done humanure with garden/household waste composting for many, many years. Other than the info on water (as composts loves to be wet), I don't adhere to anything else the woman backyard composter is talking about. My setup has always been so much more simple, doesn't require so much forethought into ratios, lol, and yet my compost comes out looking and smelling beautiful, black gold, and the plants love it.

I am glad your system works for you; I didn't see or hear anything scary or complex in the video.

Be careful when composting manure! I ruined my entire garden by using horse, goat and cow manure that was tainted with Grazon. I learned from the UW Agg Extension office that most of the ranchers who grow certified weed free hay use this or similar weed killer. It can take 1-5 years for the effect of the weed killer to subside. I also learned that this is a problem nation wide. Compost is amazing, just be sure that the manure you use is free from weed killer.

Yeah, we need to be extra cautious about sourcing straw/hey/grass clippings, even wood chips.
