Composting on a household scale is easy - but what about on a larger scale? We need to make lots of compost for our plant nursery, so CJ and Sam built us a big concrete compost bin capable of making tons of compost a year. We're using it for composting chicken, restaurant waste, coffee ground, peanut waste and more.
Great job young men!!! I got yelled at yesterday for grabbing veggies from Senior Center dumpster for my chickens 😳. Guess I gotta be more stealthy 😂. ❤ the bins, Kristy 😃🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
People ain't got no chili anymore.
After coffee and doughnuts at church Sunday, I dared to route through the upper part of a trash can for the half eaten doughnuts...didn't do enough to agitate onlookers. Ended up tossing it directly to happy chickens. Slow track instead of fast track to the compost pile.
I bring a small trash bin to the cafeteria when I do lunchroom duty at school. The kids know if they don't want to eat their food, they can feed my chickens instead of throwing it in the trash cans. They always rush to be the first kids to put their scraps in the bucket. The students always enjoy seeing pictures of my 'Laying Ladies,' too.
Those bends sure tidy up the place. I don't have compost binds myself due to lack of ambition and being lazy. My method for composting is also to compost everything. I just add to the pile for one year and never turn it or concern myself with brown or green material mixture. I start a new one every year and leave them alone until the 3rd year. The compost I use for my garden is always from the 3 year old pile. It sure makes the garden grow and the food I get is better than anything I have bought from the store.
I'm so glad I'm not the only one ❤
hi David, i once read an apple book where they dug up an apple tree and found the roots had wrapped around a skelaton, fruit trees like the bones, since then i have put 1 chicken leg bone and lamb or beef bones in my potted trees.
HEY MAN, i have a soon to be 4 year old and have been watching your videos for years. Its crazy seeing how much your son has grown. as a first time father, this filled me with anticipation. thanks for all the education and the fatherly previews. Nice work, CJ.
Happy almost birthday to your buddy! Thank you, Jason.
David, you are TRULY BLESSED by reason of your children. Love your videos, have for years.
David, that is so awesome that your son CJ and his friend Sam built this 3 bay system for you.
And what a fantastic job they did too. You must be very proud of your son and his friend.
Thank You for sharing your knowledge and experience with us.
Much love from
SA 🌍🇿🇦🤗👍👋❤❤❤❤❤❤❤And may your thumb always be green.💚
People might be amazed at just how much composting can reduce the waste they throw out. It can be pretty crazy significant.
So excited to see your business continue to grow ! Great job C.J !
Oh no. You are taking away my excuses for those peat moss bales in the hotbeds. That would save me $300 a year. Sometimes your great ideas make me cringe a little while I try to level up.
lol. Straw bales here.
You and your family are pretty darn awesome! Got my first load of chips this week after waiting 2 years. I'm stoked.
Glorious! Really like that construction, looks great. The other day as I was thinking about the topic of composting I envisioned something very close to this and thought "hey, David should totally get something like that seeing as he composts so much, it'd be a good investment" and now you drop this video... Cool little synchronicity right there
Great job on the build guys. That is some very impressive masonry work and props to you for learning that skill at a young age.
Need those boys to come build me one in MO. That’s some really good work
i think if you promote this compost your enemy stuff a litel more, maybe you vill get the feds to turn your compost pile on regular basis?;) anyway, nice work of\by the young ones:)
I just took a load out to my compost bins. I also had a friend from work text me if I wanted any potatoe peels or old apples. Why, yes. Yes I do!😉
I got that shirt for Christmas last year. Love it.
Looks great. Nice setup.
they paved paradise... 🎼🎵🎶
Good job guys that looks bigger than the one on the island that's going to be nice
I love this! I compost year round! Just made a batch of my own bokashi I compost everything I can! Even all my scrap paper I shred and compost!
hen you cut off your beard, you just lost at least 10 years...went back in time! I guess I'd not see the last few videos. Last Sunday at church someone brought their expresso machine to treat people to strong coffee. I handed them a container and said, "May I please have your coffee grounds for my compost?" They were happy to give them to me. After it was over, I brought them home and immediately put them on my compost pile before I even went into the house.
I just processed a bunch of chickens today. All the scraps were dumped into a hole I dug next to a young pecan tree that I planted this year. I came out a few feet with the scraps so I didn’t burn it up. So now that tree has a pocket of fertility breaking down right next to it. I dumped the blood in one of my asparagus beds. I watered it down so it would soak in. I’m thinking about burning the scraps next time so they break down faster.
Those uncooked chicken bones are also great dog food and then the dog also outputs green compost material
i believe i read that dog's mind...when is this guy getting out of here so i can stop, drop, and roll💩🙊
the boys did a great job
Thanks. I am really proud of them.
My deer offal and scraps go to the pigs and chickens, the bones and odds n ends go to the dogs but I see the point,... maybe I'll bury the hide if I don't tan it.😉 I love your compost bags, it's awesome!
A few years ago when we had one dog I thought geez look at all that money (dog food) sitting on the lawn so I decided to compost her poop. Now we have 3 dogs. I use an old garbage can with a lid and holes in the bottom. Toss in the poop and cover with leaves. When that can is full I just leave it for 6 months and the worms move in and help out. Put the resulting compost on my lawn and flower beds. Win, win. 😊
Great shirt 👍
Thanks, David. You are, David? 🤨 You sound like David...What kind of pods are growing in that new greenhouse? Did you fall asleep in there? 😲😲🤣
Good stuff CJ!
What a great gift, compost is the best reward!
Because you can make TEA!
Would have been a better joke if your name was Tea-J.
Who are you, you beardless man and what have you done to David ;)
man, they really did a great job.
My cousin when he had a home kill as he also had a portable sawmill so he buried the waste from the kill put wire mesh over it to stop vermin digging it up. Made beautiful compost very quickly. When he died from cancer that is how he wanted his body to be put to “rest” but of course the powers that be wouldn’t allow this so we buried him in a coffin he and his son made from lumber he had milled 😊😊😊
Some states now allow composting of human remains and there are companies who have a safe way to do it.
Supposedly, coffee grounds deter digging animals, so I heard. So I put a thin layer on top of my plants that I am growing. So far, it has worked.
NO SHAVE November, David.... lol
I need to make a bear proof compost bin. I made one out of pallets.. Turns out Florida bears are "fluffy". My big bin is now looking like a scrap wood pile. .again. Stupid bear. #GonnaCompostThatBear
That is frustrating.
You may be underselling yourself on the value of secret bones hidden in the bottom of nursery plant containers 🤣🤣🤣 like Cracker Jacks for gardening weirdos
So nice!!! I Love it!!! CJ and his friend should advertise! Make dat money honey ~ whoop whoop 👊🏻 I made one about that size, minus all the cement, blocks and mortar lololol 😆
hi CJ, good job, but you should of put reenforcing mesh in, you can also use some types of bamboo. good job anyway.
Are you talking about the concrete pad? They used rebar in it. (good job anyway)
@@angelbear_og yes, re bar, wasn't shure of what americans call it. we call it reo or re bar.
Nice!
If you have a good wood chipper, all that bamboo would be a great brown!
Might take a bit, but man... so much!
Now where did my husband bury those turkeys in my yard? Need that compost!
Dan @ PlantAbundance has a great video on a DIY compost sifter using a Harbor Freight cement mixer and steel wire basket off amazon bolted on.
How do you think it will go not connected to the ground.
Very cool will be interesting to see progress. I'll stick to throwing scraps in garden. I can't be bothered with compost piles.
Thanks!
WANT!
I went the cheap route and scored an old truck topper for free...flipped it over and drilled TONS of holes in the bottom and sides! Drains well and I flip half and half, back and forth. Solved my tree root problem but after 4" of rain I have a major sowbug infestation...any suggestions?? I don't want them transplanted to the garden beds next spring...
Chickens! Pest eradicators on steroids!
My friend has 54 chickens, so I have no need for eggs. I barter with veggies and tinctures. Any other suggestions?
@@brendanelson1027
It seems that David has been replaced with some random dude. I think his name is Roger Wilco or something like that. But those compost piles...WOW!
Awesome!!!
Where's the guy with the Beard? LOL
Are you still planning on turning all that by hand? or it is set up for a tractor?
Hand for now. Tractor if I win the lottery.
@@davidthegood well... Sell your property, move to Parrottsville TN. We have 60 acres. You will have access to a tractor. And plenty of room to stretch out.
No covering for rain not washing out and sun not drying?
Epico
Dude! Bring back the beard. I don’t know you anymore. 😂
I got an ad the other day about a composting system and one thing they said is dont compost fruit scraps. They said it may contain pesticides. Im confused about that, because why would I be ok with eating that but not ok with composting it??
Yeah, that's nuts. Compost everything.
@@davidthegood Any thoughts on that "Apeel" chemical they're coating produce in? I hear they aren't even required to label it so you may not even know it's there. (Though if you're able to grow your own you don't need to worry about it OR pesticides!)
looks to grey for compost dave. I think you need to add more water! LOL
The funniest part is just about every Florida man knows how to pour and finish concrete. 😂
I only clicked to see him beardless, lookin good🎉
Great video! Hey random question, would it be a bad idea to seed winter rye in the garden as a cover crop if it’s not organic? I wasn’t sure if it’s a bad idea with all the grazon stuff out there. Wasn’t sure if grazon would carry over to seeds or if it’s no problem. Thanks a bunch for your time!
I wouldn't worry about it.
@@davidthegoodthanks, brother!
How did the plant sale go ? I had planned on being there but a friend from church needed help clearing brush !
It was steady. Met some new people. We had fun!
Why the concrete floor? What about the worms or soil nematodes working it?
Tree roots will invade a pile if it's on top of soil.
Interesante
Oh no, David, you composted your beard.
Put. The. Beard. Back.
I did not recognize you without your beard. You look 10 or 15 years younger.
Shouldn’t you have had air holes in your new compost stations. I think it could have helped.
Thanks for the advice
Am I the only one that misses the beard?
So David I have a pile that was finishing up. It was a hot pile that is cool now. But anyway my neighbors decided to empty their pool into my yard! So my pile and garden with my garlic bulbs in it was exposed to a bunch of chlorine water!!! Do you think I shouldnt use that pile now??
It will be just fine. The chlorine off-gasses rapidly.
So you think the garlic bulbs will be fine as well?? Thanks so much I am freaking out about this. Can't wait to move to my dream homestead in the mountains of Kentucky!!!
I love that shirt compost your enemies
Is un-bearded David from a mirror world like bearded Spock? Can there be an Evil David the Good?, though?
Heh, David the Bad. 🙃
Ain't no one aghast at the missing beard 😢. What's next!? Changing to a keyboard guitar!? What year is it!!!
You shaved your beard and then immediately started pushing compost everything again #flashback
WHERE'S DAVID?
Is that a compost your enemies compost system LOL
Como
So I can compost my cat’s enemies that they leave all over the yard?
Some guy without a beard in this video said,
"Technically, it's organic."
hmmmm...
Is this how the corporate shenanigans begin?
"We'll let the fungi fix it..."
He said.
Has the corporate required "shaving of the beard so you're clean cut & more believable" syndrome taken over?
hmmmm... 🤔
Next thing you know we'll be promoting cricket flour.
@@davidthegood IKR!
E-Gad!
@@davidthegood Good one!!! I laughed out loud! So sad to read comments of SNOWFLAKE keyboarders telling you how you SHOULD LOOK to appease their fragile ideals... Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge, and great to know the newest little Good arrived safely and Mom is also doing well. 😊
So......... with the concrete slab there is no way any earthworm will get into your compost.
Really? You haven't seen earthworms on the sidewalk?
Dave is playing *ZERO* games
Youre wearing shoes No beard No long hair So these clone rumors of top political figures has now reached the gardening world Thx ✌🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🙏🏻
Did you lose a bet that you had to shave your beard off?!
I did it for halloween
This is awesome. Since watching nearly all of your composting videos, I pretty much compost everything. When I come home from fishing, I filet the catches and then bury the rest of the carcasses in the compost. Pretty amazing how fast they are eaten by all the worms and maggots. I'm all for more composting videos LOL. It's pretty much my favorite thing ever.
mmmm...that's good mulch!
TINA COME GET SOME COMPOSTED HAM!!!😂🤣@@hoperules8874
Tip for CJ and Sam for doing such a great job!
Thank you - I will share it with them

Lol @ the title. I'm immediately reminded of Breakfast Club and the scene where Allison is telling Claire about how much liquor she drinks.
(Modified):
Claire: How much compost can you make with that epic new 3-Bin compost system?
Allison: *Smiles* TONS.
🤣😂
Epic video!
Edit: OMG I didn't even recognize you without the beard lmao. I'm like.. who's that guy in the gre.. *GASP*!!! It's YOU!! LOL.
I compost small amounts of meat (and my chicken who died), but bears are a notorious problem around here. As in, one finds scat in the back yard. So I bury it deep and usually only small amounts. After I buried the chicken, the cantaloupe scraps buried nearby sprouted and produced huge plants, faster than I've ever seen anything grow!
I am 1 minute and 39 seconds into this video...and I just gotta say I’m digging the tunes david 🎵 alright back to the epic compost matter 🌱🌞

Okay, I still can't get used to the baby face look! When's the beard coming back? And your son did a great job on that block work! And I love that Betsy and her tail wagging 100 mph! :)
Yeah. If I could shake my tail that fast I won't have my weight problem!
@@edifying me too!!! :)
I've composted 5 raccoons a possum and a couple of chickens my plants love it and nothing was digging around I'm my pile I did find a few lizard eggs though
You can't fool me. I know an epic barbecue pit when I see one.
Hey, here's an idea you might use for bones, if you're interested. I've started using all my bones to make bone broth. Afterwards, they're a lot softer, and break easily. I get more food out of the bones, and then the bones will break down into compost in my compost pile faster! Perfect!
I would have to make broth in mammoth quantities, though! We're talking 18 banana boxes of chicken bones a week. You are right - it does break down wonderful however.
@@davidthegood Aw, c'mon! You know you want to spend the rest of your life making bone broth! What are you, chicken? (Laugh.)
More seriously, that makes sense. That's a LOT of bones. I'm sure if I had that many available all the time, I'd just compost the vast majority of them, too.
@@davidthegood Sounds like another new side hustle to me! ;)
Thanks for the info. I always heard to not use meats except for fish. I too use lots of coffees grounds. Havagudun David.
Very cool song!!awesome job!!You look like a "New man" with no beard!! Look 4ward to updates on your compost!😊
Elliott Coleman would be proud of your compost system. Keep on rocking DTG and clan.
😃🌱🐢
We have taken in many stray cats at our ranch. We tame them and get them fixed. We now have 15! They are indoors a lot of the time. I have been using equine pine pellets for the litter boxes for years because before we ended up with a cat litter clay mountain. The pine pellets saved me probably a thousand dollars per year plus they impart a fresh cut wood fragrance, way less dust, no chalky smell, and no mountain since it does decompose. They do a great job controlling odor until they completely turn to saw dust. Then I dump & spread them in the fields. But twice a day I scoop out the solid waste which goes to the landfill. Could all of it be composted? Could it become soil that is safe for gardens or any use at some point?
Amazing professional job those gentlemen did! Thought you paid a commercial crew to come in and do it! Outstanding!
David, that is so awesome that your son CJ and his friend Sam built this 3 bay system for you.
And what a fantastic job they did too. You must be very proud of your son and his friend.
Thank You for sharing your knowledge and experience with us.
Much love from
SA 🌍🇿🇦🤗👍👋❤❤❤❤❤❤❤And may your thumb always be green.💚
I’m confused by the elaborate concrete foundation. Is it not better for the compost to have direct contact with the soil?
I was thinking that, too.
Like a pumpkin... 😉
I’d also like to know the difference (if any) between foundation and ground contact for a bin system. Would definitely be easier to clean out this way.
I have tried both ways. The big downside with a bed that is open on the bottom is that nearby trees help themselves and turn the pile into a mass of roots.
David, ur reply to the using a concrete/block structure is so right 👍! I just harvested my 1yr static "ground"pile & the bottom half was clogged full of roots & grubs. 2 afternoons of back breaking sifting out. Evidently it wasn't far enough away from neighbors trees & grape vines. Great job by those hard working young men u've got there..well done.
Brother, nice compost bin! You look like an imposter without your facial hair, gonna take a few videos to get used to it. Did you lose a bet? 🙂
What is on...well...not on your face?!?. It scares me...
Like your song. Has a bit of an Alice n chains vibe to it 👍🏼
Throw some redworms in there and you’ll have a nice colony in no time.
Wow. That's alot of compost in the making! Loved the music today. Sounded kind of Beatle-y to me, so how could I not love it?
Always wondered which Caribbean island you were at before. Watched some of those videos and I was left with a feeling of Jamaica (based on some of the things I saw you plant - not that I am a gardener/farmer/pro). Today I clearly heard Granada. Obviously I wasn't here since the start but now I know. Greetings from Puerto Rico!!!
lol I almost didn't recognize your face. And when you dumped those leg bones and some moved I was a little concerned something was still alive. BEAUTIFUL bins, some day I may do that vs my 4 bin pallet one. I raise meat rabbits and bury what isn't food for us in the gardens.
He looks like the really early videos
I have found making compost where I plan to put in a garden bed, the compost proses really kills off weeds and grasses. Will build a compost room place when I have filled up all my bed spaces. Also local breweries have great material to add into your compost
