Hey, just remember the heat from the compost could possibly leach harmful chemicals into the compost from the plastic, the same goes for microwaving any food in a plastic container and I know you might say this is dirt that it’s not gonna be eaten but think about the plants that you are going to eat if your planting vegetables they’re going to absorb those chemicals. Just wanted to put that out there in case someone wasn’t aware of it.
The same can be said of the plastic pipes that supply water to your home, or the hose you water your plants with that sits in the sun all year long and breaks down. OIr that black plastic sheeting over the soil. When I was a cyclist, I rode in a club full of people who were constantly complaining of car exhaust. When I pointed out that there is no way to avoid it, except by wearing a full-on gas mask, it went over like a fart in church. The point is, there are lots of things in life that work against us. Eventually, we die from something called Death. No way out. I wouldn't worry about some leaching, and at extreme low temps, it;s not gonna be much.
I might say that a plastic bin for this purpose should be replaced if it starts looking bleached-out and chalky. Here in the wet part of the PNW, that's not going to be for a very long time, but in San Diego? More often.
Most trashcans are made from Polyethylene and is not known for leaching. Which is one reason they are a great choice for this project
@@DanielSmithEarthSkills Right. I'm replacing a couple of mine that have become degraded due to UV over many years, but yes, they're generally very good for not leaching much. There are other concerns that are worse, such as jet exhaust if you live within a mile or two of a runway
@@user-fu9vj9ix3g thank you for your reply, I do agree with you that there are many things in our environment that is harmful to our health and unfortunately cannot be avoided, but the things that can be avoided is within our power to try to minimize or change in order to achieve a healthy life. There is an old saying that is very true knowledge is power and that’s why I appreciate your reply because there is always something new to learn with every passing day.😎🤚
Most of the foods you buy from the grocery store even organic farmers is probably gonna have some plastic / metal leached into the food, just Pray and God will bless the rest.
I would thrown the dug up grass and dirt in it.
You could have, just make sure it's broke up small so I can mix with everything
Thanks for this useful information 🙂🙂🙂
You're welcome, glad to help
I made a bin exactly like this 28 years ago when we moved to this house. And it is still in operation. The best 'black gold' comes from this bin.
I use ALL of my kitchen scraps, including coffee residue, tea residue, peelings, etc. I layer leaves and garden cuttings with the kitchen scraps.
I'm glad yours has been working for that long, I'm considering adding a few more in the future.
@@DanielSmithEarthSkills I rotate three areas - the original bin, a box 'bin' for the residue of compost, and another for quick breakdown. I transfer those three twice a year.
Trying to gauge how long it takes for the compost to be ready using this process. If you can please comment on the time it takes, it would be super helpful. Thanks.
@@Ambalika108 I screen my compost twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall. It can be a quicker process if you turn it frequently, or if you insert steel rods to increase the heat. I never turn it, nor do I increase the heat.
Like I said, I have done this for 28 years and it has never failed.
Other gardeners have different methods, but for me, this is the one.
@@elisekuby2009 Thank you so much for taking the time to reply.
I made one and it works just fine! I garden in the Mojave Desert in a mountainous area so the climate is very very dry. I do water the compost at times but just let it go naturally. I do layer green and brown etc. and turn it occasionally. It takes us a long time because of the climate, but it is worth the effort!
Glad to hear it working for you in the Mojave desert. I've been through their once before.
May I ask how long it takes for the compost to be ready enough to apply to beds? Thanks.
@@Ambalika108 A long time. I got a bit done in a year but I was not good about watering the piles often (I conserve water and am retired and am a hobby veggie gardener). Hard to be quick in our climate unless adding a lot of water and turning it often. I do layer green/brown etc. Lots of insects but few worms. Desert.
@@lindawoody8501 Thanks! That helped. I guess local climate matters a lot in the speed with which this process works.
Yes, local climate can be a big factor. In the winter it will be slower and as it heats up it will be faster. Mine is almost ready, but I add more to it a few times.
thanks
You are welcome
thank you
You're welcome, glad you enjoyed the video
Great video - smart thinking.
I just bury my kitchen scraps and that works great for me. During the winter I cover my yard with leaves from the park and I also let my chickens roam free to turn it over and fertilize it.
I'm glad your method works for you, sounds like a productive way. I'm doing this way for now, I may try hot composting in the future.
I am making mine in a 200 liter metal drum, which seems to be the cold type compost, but I have wood from pallets stacked in compost all round where the hot compost is taking place at height of at least equal lengths of the drum. I just turn it about 3 or 4 days, it would not be necessary, but helps to mix well.
A metal drum would work great, you can also find them cheap. I turn mine about every 4 days as well. It is cold composting but can benefit from the sun heating it up.
Im falling in love ❤❤❤
Did you leave all the plastic swarf from the drilling on the ground or did you pick it up and dispose of it correctly?
Bagged up and disposed of
Nice vid. I would be concerned being close to a structure though.
Thank you. It's probably 20-25 yards from any structure
Why? Just...why?
It's quite sedentary.
Can you put bermuda grass clippings from mowing your lawn in there? And will it kill the seeds & not grow later when you apply the compost to your garden?
Using grass clippings is very common for composting
@@DanielSmithEarthSkills Bermuda Grass grows Seed shoots every 3 days where I live. I hate Bermuda Grass, I hate how it spreads & chokes out other plants.
I'm wondering if your can put Bermuda grass clipping with the seeds in the bin & will it Kill the seeds? I'd hate to put compost around my tress & have Bermuda grass start growing there.
Regular grass makes sense, obviously.
In that case, I would probably avoid it to be safe.
The idea of making compost in a cheap and easy way seems great to me, but you shouldn't throw plastic scraps on the ground when making holes because no one knows where they will end up. Greetings.
La idea de hacer abono de forma fácil y barata me parece genial, pero no deberías tirar los restos de plástico al suelo al hacer los agujeros porque nadie sabe dónde acabarán. Saludos.

Plastic was picked up after recording stop. I'm glad you liked the idea
Can I use a recycle bin?
Depending on size you should be able to.
Don't you use grass cuttings, anything green?
You can use leaves or/and grass clippings (I used leaves). Then, add vegetables/fruit scraps.
rats can go through those holes ez
Bottom holes are buried, and the side holes are too small. No rodents can get in my compost bin.
Microplastic fell on the ground
It got cleaned up
Hear me out or you could just throw it on the ground
That is one way, given it's slower than this method. This method also keeps animals out of the food scraps. If I was hot composting (future project), it would be on the ground. Different methods have different pros and cons. Choose what's best for you.
Hai. It's so nice to see you make a compost. The trashcan so perfect for the process
