Soil is the lynchpin to life as we know it. It’s where carbon is stored, where all life comes from and returns, and it’s also the living foundation for all life on land and sea. If we want to restore our environment, economy, and health FAST, we have to work with soil and not just in one area, but in ALL areas. We have to make SOIL a permanent part of our culture.

I also recently did a test pile where I broke all of the "rules" and did not set the pile up in layers. All of the materials were run through my shredder to break everything down to very small particles and were all blended in together. That ended up being my most successful compost pile. All of my other piles I always have to watch because they continuously run at 160 to 170 degrees. This blended pile ran at 140 degrees for two solid weeks before I turned it. Then I turned it two weeks later, and then two weeks later one final turn and it was finished. By allowing the compost to sit for two weeks between turnings the pile had a high fungi population, not just bacteria as most piles are.
This dudes laugh is hilarious 🤣😂🤣😂 not even poking fun, I just laugh everytime he does
PS. It's easier to water with every layer... especially the browns. It helps you control the moisture levels. When you water only at the end. the water often does not reach the center, or you go over-board and water too much.
After losing my garden last year from using manure in my compost, I will never again add manure to my compost or my garden.
When i watch videos of youtubers. They mention this process as fermentation. This is quite wrong, isnt it?
I want to see a compilation of Mat laughing.
Just got over 1200 lbs of free grass clippings, can't believe people waste this stuff!
Yeah, compost is an ancient method but never considered a science until we saw the detrimental effects of artificial fertilizers.
What is the ingredients ratio ?
I give every layer a good soaking as I am building the pile. With a spray attachment to spread the water out better than just a hose. And, I have sure seen the benefits to covering with a tarp! (Now I have 2 tarps; one for each of my piles!)
I love compost-making - a total obsession. Some lovely stuff being made in this video 😊
Love it. Composting is life. Composting using the Berkley Method to create a no-dig veggie garden, pollinator haven, and re-seeded grass has helped us transform a dead urban lot with compacted soil into a green oasis. In just over five years. With very little work.
What a fun video! I love to see how joyful you are about gardening. 💕
Matt, I love how much you have upped your video production game recently! Great information, great personality, and presentation! :D
Finally made my first hot compost with the help of a Geo Bin. Wasn't expecting anything but the next morning the pile had shrunk and the pile was hot. Very exciting to finally achieve that! Bought a 2nd Geo Bin and a REO thermometer because now I'm hooked......
I use 3 of those black compost bins. I made quite a few batches this year. I kind of lost track. They are a little on the small side but I seem to have better control. I had extra leaves ,so I tried straight leaf compost and it turned out wonderfully. The 2 batches are hanging out and aging until spring.
Good job Matt - Hard work is a payoff in itself... nice looking pile your plants and earthworms will love you. Aloha
Live ur videos I watch em over and over all the whole learning something new every time I watch thank u Matt appreciate ur enthusiasm
Saves me money and its really fun to do that and I love it. Little sweat equity is all it takes.
