Composting Rules You Should NEVER FOLLOW! Lazy Composting For Beginners

[@SmallGardenQuest]

Here you can find how to make my three bin composting system: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6Dbh5atoMZ6mLM How much compost are you making in your garden each year?

all these composting rule what a load of rubbish... 😂 your right. i been composting the last couple of years and it's simple... i throw my waste it, mix a little dry in with it and turn it once and again to help get air in and mix it. I throw pasta, rice cooked chips... alsorts in to it even though they say don't put bread! rice and so on. .. i put all that and its fine. my pile is a city of life and worms... brilliant. love compost man, very rewarding been apart of that cycle. makes you much more aware of the plastic waste that is not part of that cycle. Good video bro!

I admit to being a "lazy" gardener. This is probably why (influenced by your channel), I switched to SFG late last season. Being one to avoid too much work in the garden, every year I would put off and put off turning the compost until, before I knew it, it was Fall lol And guess what? Every year for the last 14 years, I have had a beautiful pile of compost each Spring when I actually needed it :)

See you have been doing the no till technique for ages now :D

I use welded wire fencing with nursery fabric to make rings for my 1.5 m3 compost piles. No stakes as the welded wire is self supporting when the ring is closed. I just pull the ring off the pile and use an electric tiller on it. Set the ring back up next to the original pile and restack with new, adding back the undecomposed and chunky stuff from the old and enough finished compost to inoculate the new pile. I very flexible system as long as you have the space. I agree about being lazy and letting time and worms do the work. I just don't like the fixed location bin system in my context because I would become constrained by the system's capacity and have enough material and space on hand to double or triple the capacity of the system I use at any time.

Great technique thanks for sharing. The only concern I have is the wellbeing of worms hehe. The electric tiller could kill them but on the other hand they would repopulate the compost pile fast. I did something similar one year with leafs at the end of the season. I just placed them in a box made of 4 pallets and let it be for the entire winter. Next spring I used a electric mower to shred the leafs and put them back in to my fix compost bin system

@@SmallGardenQuest Last falls leaves will go with this years grass clippings and green yard/garden waste in new piles just like always. This year is going to be about adding biochar to my compost so I'm doing the cone pit fire and quench method for making charcoal. Since I'm burning anyway I can be a bit more selective with what goes into the compost this year. Maybe less breaking it up required, we'll see. ;)

Fingers crossed 🤞
