How to make compost easy seed, trash turned to gold
Brilliant! I am going to copy this and set up a compost tote just like yours in my grandchildren’s school garden! You are something else! ❤
The kids are going to love this!🎉
Oh COOL, and keep a closer eye on it than I did, and you’ll be able to see it break down day after day. That is going to be wonderful. Just think each child can maybe add I their own item 😊. Let me know how it goes. ❤
What a great lesson for those kids! Great idea!
I’m so happy you did this Robbie! I’ve been teaching my husband about this for the longest time. He thought I was silly for collecting all these things until he realized just how valuable composting is. He’s saving everything now 😂 I can show him with your video the whole process. The clear plastic window to show it is awesome!I love your channel. 🎉
How fun you got your husband now collecting matter to compost to save money but best of all to make great soil. Happy Gardening Thanks & You are so welcome!
I went to the goodwill and got 15 totes for $28.27 I was so excited. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us. I will tomorrow fill them up with dead leaves and paper. I am so excited to start my container garden ❤
Oh Wow, that was an incredible find. Just think how much you’re going to grow with such a small amount of money you spent on those totes, super cool 😊 have fun gardening thanks
@@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy thank you for sharing your knowledge with me. I was so excited to find the totes and looking forward to tomorrow so I started planting. Thank you again
Wow that's a GREAT deal! My Goodwill charges almost as much as new ones cost! I did get lucky one day when I made a donation drop off at another thrift store though and they had a stack of totes without lids that were FREE! I did the happy dance for sure that day! :)
I need a find like that!
Our cherry tomatoes came back from last yrs plants and you can really taste the difference from store bought. They are so sweet and natural tasting!!
😎
Robbie, you are so creative and thoughtful in wanting to show us the composting process! You have taught me so much about composting and gardening, plus I guess you could say that you have taught us how to recycle so many different things. Thank you for making this tote so we can watch the process! ❤😊❤😊
You are so welcome ❤ it was fun, and I think I will do this again 😊 again thank you
OMG I’ve been following you for the last three weeks. I saved my kitchen scraps, to rolls, twigs, egg shells etc just as you instructed in 5 gallon free buckets from landscaper. I’m shocked they broke down in our warm Dallas sunshine in 3 weeks!! The most beautiful compost ever and it did not smell! I’m so excited to make more dirt. I just began planting my garden totes. Thanks to you both for this gardening Revolution!
You’ve taught me so much about composting and showed that it does not have to be complicated!
Nature is simple too 😊
❤😊
I saw another video from the past where you set up a tote that way - including things a lot of composting lists say not to compost - like pasta and dairy - and the things I have planted in that tote have been the BEST growing plants I have ever grown in years! Thank you so much for encouraging me to step outside the composting rule box!!
Thank you. Your welcome.
I've always done container gardening. Last year I followed your method of composting in 5 totes. Best looking soil ever. Now that the snow is going away and warmer days ahead I am starting 4 more totes. Thanks Robbie 👍
Wonderful! Glad you loved it and created great free soil, like nature does. Thanks so much for this wonderful message
For 2 weeks I've been saving my kitchen scraps. And this is what I ended up with-8 egg shells and some used coffee grinds. Being from the old school of waste not/want not, I cook exactly what I'll eat within 3 days. No left overs. So, my new soil will have to consist of grass clippings, sticks, leaves, and last years veggie stems from my totes, buckets, and pot containers. I'm not sure if I should be proud or sad. Ha
The pot containers might give it a kick.
It’s all good and don’t forget to add paper
@@oldladyfromnm7590 Thanks!
@@pinkypooky5779 Thanks! I have my t.p. rolls all ready. Ha
Hey, that’s a good start, now you add in the stuff that you’ll collect like leaves from your garden, toilet paper rolls, paper towel rolls, paper napkins, you probably don’t use paper napkins…but your grass clippings will be great! And once your garden starts to grow you will have a continuous amount of leaves from your own garden…Thanks ❤
I was so impressed by the way 'Robbie's Continuous Composting Technique' improved yields from my courgette plants last year, I started adding kitchen waste to several totes and large pots a few weeks ago, ready for when the season starts to warm up.
By the time it's safe to put courgette plants outside in late May/early June, there should already be a decent level of semi-composted material ready to get them going. I'm looking forward to a much better yield this year!
Thank you. Thanks for sharing!
I find it amazing that you can put all kinds of green matter and brown matter and other things in your bucket and it will break it all down, but if you put a plant in there to grow, it will not compost the "real" plant! God really planned out this composting stuff pretty good!!!!😊❤
You are my kind of lady. I like how you help me save my money!!!!
I am so glad I can help you save money, because most of us need that 😊 thanks ❤
I have not been successful with container gardening until I started following your method with this. I have now become quite successful with my plants thriving in the pots.
Wonderful! This is so great to hear, thank you so very much for this message! Happy Gardening ❤😊
It made so much difference to my plant yields too.
When I lived in the south of England, I never had a problem with growing vegetables. Tomatoes and courgettes - just put them in the ground and off they went. As soon as I moved to Scotland, they consistently failed.
Of course, I put the whole problem down to being further north: colder, more rain, more clouds and a lot, lot more wildlife. But it was really beginning to irk me that every year I would get nothing but flowers from my courgettes. I'd given up with the tomatoes already.
Tried Robbie's technique, when it was getting close to the end of our growing season, and it was a total game changer. Not just flowers - but actual courgettes at last, and a good size too.
What a great explanation Robbie. I started using your method last fall and I’ve created tons of usable soil. Free!! Thanks for the great tips you bring us.🌷✨🌵
Thanks Barbara.
Dear Robbie, I have missed you! You nourish my soul with your wonderful gardening ways. Last May 2022 I fell getting out of the tub and cracked 3 ribs and tailbone, then February 2 severely burned my foot on a space heater in, then recently tipped a skillet of smoking hot oil on top of my hand. Needless to say I have been depressed and living in my recliner 😢 Spring is sprouting here in southern Indiana and just getting well enough to start working on my tote garden. You encourage me to putter in my garden. Like 1 UK Gardener says do a little often. I know it always makes me feel better.
I love you so much. You have no idea how you have helped me. With all my heart I thank you thank you thank you 🌹🌹🌹🌹
Another winner! I often wonder which of your videos would be best to start somebody new to this way of gardening, and this isn't the absolute best, but it's right up there.
Come to think of it, maybe it Is the best... It basically has all the info but has evolved and improved with all you've learned and shared along the way.
So I'll bookmark this one and when people ask, I'll show them this one.
For those who are about to join, we salute you!
So, which is the other you were thinking was the best 😊, I should make one just for beginners ❤ a very basic one, but truthfully, gardening is basic. It’s easy to many people make it just way too complicated. 🤨 Thanks ❤
ROBBIE FASCINATING TEACHING. OH WOW I GOTTA SEND THIS TO EVERYONE. I LOVE YOU ROBBIE. ❤ THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TEACHING US.
You are so welcome, thank you so much 😊❤
😆 30 year old coffee?! I love it! ❤️
Growing up my Dad always had a compost cooking! I live in San Francisco, out by the ocean. So it stays cooler & we’ve got the fog! I grow plants but not to eat. I’ll have to give this a go❗️I’ve learned a lot from you, especially the hummingbirds. So thanks for this other side of your passion❣️🕊️
I just filled a free tote today and looking forward to planting my tomatoes in it when the last frost passes. I live in a townhouse so a little worried about odors or critters but excited to see how it turns out. We also drilled a few extra holes for drainage. I used kitchen scraps, tp rolls, leaves, old catfish , and dumped the soil from an old flower pot.
Thank you so much Robbie. Your enthusiasm had me enthralled during lock down and your vids kept me active in my garden. This video is so inspiring...can't thank you enough xx
Robbie, this might be your best video yet! process and the science behind it. Great experiment!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hello Robbie! I have been watching your videos for over a year now and have incorporated a lot of you ideas into my container garden. This season you have me really making a big effort to make my own soil!! Thank you for all your beautiful information.
I'm going to get a bin and give composting a try! I appreciate all your creative ideas. 🏆
Wonderful! Thank you 😊
Robbie you are greenery D’lite! Thank you
Thanks Robbie, I truly appreciate all your knowledge on Mother Nature. Love your videos from Elizabeth in NE Ohio. ❤😊
Had to stop work in my garden and watch the video 😊
This whole time I thought I was the only one that did that.😂
Oh, thanks so much 😊
During the Winter I compost like this in Upstate NY on my back deck - works like a charm!
Very inspiring. I checked my compost trash can this week. There were pumpkin sprouts just growing right along.
Oh yes, all the squash family love growing in ‘food matter’ that is raw compost material 😊❤ Thanks
You just took me back to my first time being introduced to science. Words cannot express I feel! WOW thanks for unlocking a part of me that I forgot all about!
This was one of your best Robbie because as I'm setting up my pots and totes I'm always wondering what does Robbie put in first, what does Robbie put in the middle, should I layer this in or layer that in - always a hundred questions going through my mind. Now you've shown that it doesn't matter. It'll all work and now I can relax about that. Still wonder if I over or under water though. lol
As long as the water drains out, all should be fine 😊
This is amazing. You are such an inspiration. Thank you for all you share with everyone.
Oh my, thank you so much ❤and You are so welcome 😊
When I noticed you had plexy glass on the side of that tote, to see the break down of the materials you put in there, I had a flashback to the 70's when I had a Ant farm, but not Ants but good worms.👍
I remember those ant farms, and that’s what made me think about this when I cut my tote up 😊
@@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy I have a good memory, I was 9 years old way back in 1977, I got the farm for my b-day and my dad helped me set it up, putting droplets of water in the farm to condition the white stuff in it and we got the Ants in the mail in a tube like a 2 weeks later.
Than came Etch a sketch and Chia pet 🤣
It rains all the time here and I was amazed this spring that scraps from last fall had turned completely to soil. Now I know it's even quicker. We have been nervous to attract rats as they are in the area already, but I have a feeling it really won't change things all that much
You could put wire mesh over the top to keep out rodents.
This definitely was fun to watch. Thank you Robbie 🤗🌱
You have the most amazing ideas!!! You are truly something special! Continue to do u. ❤ I don't know why u aren't at 1 million subscribers but its coming. 🎉
Thank you so much!!
This was awesome & right on time. This makes me less fearful of inviting rats, mice, raccoon or possums to my yard.
We had mice, until I realized I was feeding them! Now food scraps are always covered! I bought a rotating composter you can turn by hand. I have other composting piles, but kitchen scraps go in the barrel that has a door. Robbie puts covers on hers; the pitchers have covers, and the flower pot "systems" are covered with a second pot with something growing in it.
They generally don’t bother any of my totes, but if they do, you can always cover them for a few days
I've been composting for close to 40 years in my garden in open compost bins. I've only ever had one rat that jumped out and scared the begebbers out of me. I've never any other critters like you mentioned get into the compost. I did have the robins, that visit us in the spring, scratch up some of my earthworms. That's the only problem I've ever had. I didn't mind sharing a few worms with our feathered friends. I hope this comment helps you in your decision to compost.
@@oldladyfromnm7590 when you say covered do you mean with a lid or with other material (as in not leaving on top of the pile)? Thanks so much for the replies.
@@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy thank you for the reply. It helps.
So grateful for you. Keep encouraging people to grow ❤
I hope I can get so many people to garden who haven’t been gardening or thought they couldn’t, thank you so much😊
Amazing!!! That's so quick. Gotta water my compost box tomorrow.
Thank you.
I love this! On a larger scale you can do it with barrels. I have 11 raised garden beds. last fall I started adding kitchen scraps, coffee grinds, leaves, grass clippings, paper, eggshells and chicken poo to the beds and anything else I could find. I turned, it watered. I turned it, watered it. Now it’s all broke down ready for planting.
I’ve composted for years and never had these results! I wonder why it takes mine so long? This is amazing!!
Are you adding some soil, and watering it?
Wow! That was enlightening! Thanks so much Robbie!
Bird nests work Really Great, too!
This was Amazing!
THANK YOU for showing us the process!
Thank you for demonstrating how this works. I've been setting mine up and so excited to get started!
Have fun!
Great idea, Robbie.
I love this idea! Thank you so much for sharing!
I love your attitude it’s catching
just wow. this is awesome.
Robbie, I've learned so much watching your videos! Thank you so much for them!
Ty so much for this, hubby and I just started our compost piles, thanks for the reminder to water 💦 it 👍🏼🤦🏻♀️😘
Thank you. Your welcome.
Robbie, I'll be going through our pantry this afternoon! I'm sure I have old oatmeal, pasta, and other items that I can throw in my totes! I now have 3 for composting! Thanks!
Your welcome.
This is Awesome♥️
Brilliant! Thank you
I loved this demo! :) You are a genius of mother nature and a fun loving sense of humor makes me a fan of your channel Robbie!
Wow, thank you!
This is seriously fascinating. Thank you. Happy Easter
Thank you! 😊❤
Thanks for the information about the see through window, in the tote. I will try this out soon as possible
Glad it was helpful! Thanks 😊
You come up with the neatest ideas Robbie. I always wanted to see how the compost break down progresses. Again great idea .your Awesome and full of super beneficial information..love all you do and share with us❤️💪👍
Thanks 👍
I absolutely love your way of gardening.
Thank you so much 😊 Just too easy ❤
Thankyou!@ so awesome to see!! Very helpful!!!!

Thank you! That was so smart, easy & free!
You're welcome! Yes free😊thanks
Another great one, thanks Robbie!
My pleasure!
What a great video so everyone can understand the way composting works!!! Excellent Robbie!!! Thanks again!
Thank you so much Robbie 💞💞🥰
You are so welcome
Great one, Robbie! 👍💕
Thank you! 😃
Thanks Robbie!.I'm going to try asap!
Have fun!
Wo! It’s doing my head in. Just because it's so new and so different to the tv shows. But I’m gonna try it. I mean if it works- well, heaps cheaper, natural, fantastic.
this was very good to see
Thank you 😀
What a great demonstration ! THANK YOU !!!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much 😊❤
Great Lesson. 🎉❤ Andre from zone 6 thanks
Thanks 😊
I'm excited about this video , and the follow up videos !!!! Great idea !!!!
Thank you so much 😊❤
This is better than watching a movie I love your videos!
Glad you like them Sunshine!
I love the way that you did share with great enthusiasm. All your wonderful projects and ideas. You are so talented. Thank you very much I incorporate a lot of what you have taught me. Cheers, Florida.
Fun project! I love digging out the bottom of our compost bin. By the way... I ignore the produce labels too. As they get dumped into a bin for planting this time a year, I think oh, look! A worm hotel! 😊
I LOVE composting!! One of my favorite things.
Mine too!
Can’t wait to get started on composting. Thanks for the great videos!❤❤❤
You are so welcome! 😊
Love love love this video!!!
Glad you liked it!! Thanks 😊
Thanks Robbie, it's been awhile since I saw one of your videos and this really inspired me again!
Awesome! Thank you!❤
Very very informative video Robbie ❣️
In the beginning I saw videos about compost bins and I made two large pots and compost in there. But I needed that soil immediately for my plants. I was turning and turning the compost bins but they were ready in six months! By that time I spend so much money on compost that I bought and soil too. When I collected the compost that I made in the bins I realized that it was so little. So it wasn't worth it for me to do it this way.... I didn't have the space to have the place to have big compost bins in my balconies or earthworms . So I gave up with the compost project and I had to buy it...
But then I've found your awesome channel ✨ and I've seen how you make it happen!!! So I did the same thing like you're teaching us. I didn't have earthworms but it worked perfectly fine ❤️ It's been from last summer and all my totes and pots has been setting up this way and my plants love it!!! I didn't have any earthworms but everything is turning into beautiful soil and I'm saving so much money! Now that I have plants I can save their leaves....and that circle of life is so natural and productive 🙏 All thanks to you Robbie ❣️ And it's fun too! Putting your scraps, a bit of soil and plant! Soooo easy and fun 👏 cause mother nature is so simple but sooo beautiful 💗
Thank you Robbie for showing us what's going on in our totes! This is a great experiment to understand that compost in place 👏👏👏
Oh wow, this is so beautiful to read! I know you’ve told me how you don’t have earth worms, and it works. Perfect, it’s just so nice to read it again and again.❤and I knew the microbes are good enough, again thank you
I don't know where you live but in Florida you could purchase a small tub of red wigglers or fishing worms from Walmart and distribute them in your totes. If they like the living arrangements they will reproduce and make even more worms.😊😊😊😊😊
@@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy you remember right Robbie ❣️ no earthworms for me but still EVERYTHING turning into rich and beautiful black soil and quick too!!! It works perfectly 🌻
@@shirleyk623 I live in Athens. You can purchase here too earthworms but last year that I've started gardening I didn't have enough money to do it that way...
And this is the reason why I love Robbie's and Gary's channel ❤️cause they are teaching us how to garden cheap, clever, easy and fun. Thank you so much 🤗 🌻
You're a gem! Thanks for sharing your tactics and enthusiasm...very encouraging! Did you add worms to the bin? I'm not sure how they would find their own way into the raised tote. What was the average temperature (of the air) at that time you did this? I'm in the Midwest, so I might be able to achieve this over the summer, but not in the colder months (I don't think, but maybe). Thanks for the video :)
I think she adds some soil with worms in it.
@@beccagee5905 Thank you, Becca!
Such an amazing video. Thank you for sharing! Good good stuff 😊
Thanks so much! 😊
Beautiful demonstration, thank you❤
You are so welcome! ❤Thank You
Intersting!
Thanks for sharing
Thank you. Your welcome.
I am composting in plant 🪴 containers so far so good
Amazing video! Thanks for sharing 💜
You are so welcome! Thank You!
Hi great idea! I have 3 pallet style compost bins and I’ve just harvested 600 litres for my allotment. 👍🏻🤠
Merry Christmas
Fascinating!! I've been using a lot of cardboard, too. Thank you!!
This is great!
Thank you for sharing this video~🤗
Thank you! Cheers!
Wow Robbie, You never cease to amaze me as to how very clever you are. Thank You Lady ❤😊😮
Thank you. Your welcome.
Love your energy and passion for these garden projects. You are so creative, practical and fun, and bring happiness to many. Thank you!
Thank you so much! ❤😊
Thanks great video, fascinating!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Robbie you always share sure great ideas, I dig holes in my garden and bury my kitchen scraps, I have tons of earthworms, and when the ground was frozen I put all my kitchen scraps in a bucket and save it.
Thank you Par.
This is GREAT ROBBIE! I'm sharing this FOR SURE!!! Thank you. :-)
Awesome, thank you!
Loved your video. I have 3 compost tumblers.I feed them for a few months and at times let it go down and add some more and let it sit for months.I do stir and add water if needed..I saved 2 bags of leaves and tucked in shed...my compost worked all winter but now that it's getting warmer it should go faster.I dump my kitchen scraps every few days,there's usually paper towel and tp in there too.I love the process!
I dumped some small pots from last year into a tote that sat out all winter in some very cold weather and there were fat big worms in the pots! There were worms in the leaves I left in a pile on the ground from last fall. I dump every pot, even those that look dry as can be, and I find worms under the wet leaves from last year. I can’t believe how many worms I already have. I was going to put the old leaves in the trash but I can’t. They are full of microbes and worms. I think my tote garden will be a whole lot better this year?
That's the way to go. Find an unused out of the way place for the leaves and keep them.
