I put avocado peels, onion and garlic scraps into my raised beds, never has any issues at all except onions and garlic’s regrowing the next year! Free harvest with no work! I have also had an avocado seed sprout, dug it up and brought it inside, it’s about a foot and a half now.
I compost these items as well, but I agree with his point that avocado peels can be a bit of a nuisance because they take a longer time to decompose. He could have mentioned citrus peels and cheese wax, as they have the same issue. And remember to peel the stickers off before composting!
I compost all that stuff! I pulverise egg shells in a mortar/pestal, and pulverise dried bones with a 2 lb hand sledge, and chop everything else up very fine. I didn't know about the bread....learn something new every day! I can't wait to get back out into my garden! Started my sweet potatoes (for slips) and getting ready for starting the seeds! Garden: A place to lose yourself when you need to find yourself!
I use toilet paper rolls for seeds. Once the plant is ready for the garden I put it right in with the tp roll. Helps sustain the height of the plant until it grows stronger.
You do an amazing job of explaining why and how to make soil healthful for plants as opposed to just adding fertilizer - a totally different mindset. Thank you for all you do!
In the Columbus Georgia area people have been composting peanut shells forever!...well I moved to the area in 1981, the old timers told me they had been doing it ever since the Tom's Peanut factory opened. We would go to the factory and get them back the truck loads for free. Those mixed with our red Georgia clay and a bit of sand made some really good gardens.
Great video! When I was in OH I used to put grass clippings and leaves in the garden in the fall. I would till them in, let them sit all winter and then till again in the spring.. in a couple years the soil in the garden was so rich and perfect for growing.
I grew up on an organic farm back in nj when my parents bought the 7 acre city farm that was grandfathered in . That was in the 60's and still do orrganic garden but Virhginia soil is not as good as NJ garden state soil . I don't can as much but still do some since it is still hubby and I . i still have my mothers canner that was my grandmothers canner . I am soon married 50 years and raised 2 amazing sons that own their own business and survived the pandemic with their businesses intact I can remember neighbors coming for fresh veggies and even nearby restaruants great memories for my sons also . My older son cans and he has a small veggie garden in NJ
Thank you, Jag. Great advice. I've been doing this since following your similar advice in an earlier video. The garden at my new house had awful soil with no worms or structure. It was like fine, dry powder, but burying these household scraps (I also tear up used tea bags) and cardboard plus working in compost has really worked. It's now full of worms and looks so healthy. My new plants are flourishing. Thanks again 🌷🦋🌷
@@kimberlyearly8918 Hi Kimberly, I just bury my scraps a few inches deep and leave for a couple of months before planting anything. I add handfuls of mulch and garden waste to top soil covering it. It all seems to break down surprisingly quickly and really works at improving the quality of the soil and attracting worms. Good luck 🌻.
When you grow a plant for food, when it is finished, don't pull it out of the soil, cut it off at the base and leave the roots in the earth, they will add structure and nutrients.
Great ideas. 👍🏼 I save my eggshells as well and to make them break down faster, I use an extra spice grinder that I found at a second hand shop for $2 and I only use it for grinding eggshells into powder and other garden or household related jobs. Works great.
You know, I bet you do, that you can also give ground eggshells to your chickens. I used to grind,them too, not into powder but quite fine and then add it to the chicken feed. If you give them large bits of eggshells they will eventually start eating their own eggs as they recognize them then as food. Break ‘m up good or grind. 👍
I just did this today. I trimmed the appletree and used the branches for soil. I plan on growing some blueberries. I just added newspaper and papertowel roles. Thank you so much, cause I think I did the right things, and your video affirmed it.
Who loves to watch Lily in the background? Couple of things: Do not use citrus peels excessively either because they are acidic and will repel earthworms and mess up the pH of the soil. Make sure the cardboard does not have ink or print material on it.
How can I dispose of the onions and citrus? We use lots of onions, garlic Nd lime in our household. Any suggestions will be appreciated. I love your channel!
Great heads up on cardboard!! Can’t wait in spring and you give us tips growing successful grape bush and cherries blueberries other berries bush from seed to fruit 😄😄😄😄will like to see fruit season video🎉!!
I grew up in the city with a mom who had an amazing little garden at our rowhouse. With no space for composting, she did exactly this . Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for all the information. I just received a truck load of cedar chips this week...and, was going to put them in the walkway of my garden beds as well as the actual beds!! I'm so glad that I watched your video before doing this!! Thank you for all the information today!!
I have always maintained a compost pile, no matter where I lived. For the first time I’m using your tips to add certain waste directly to the garden soil. I’ve saved this video for future reference. Thank you!
Well done Jag. You have a garden that has such life and with a dedicated growing enthusiast like you on UA-cam, the platform is a lot better off with your presence and creativity to enjoy. Bravo
of ll the gardening channels i have watched yours is by far the most informational and to the point. most others want to flap their lips and give very little good information. i subscribed and keep up the great work.
great video! I do put avocado, onion and meat in my raised bed, never had a problem. Key is to bury them really deep to prevent animal. If you need to grow something right away, grow shallow root crops so the roots won't even reach to the kitchen scraps.
What brings me Peace, they don't! What do you think happens in Nature? Onions and garlic are just.... taken out by aliens? LOL Many misleading information on YT and perpetuated by others. :-)
I have fire ants, less than I used to but they eat the pollen of my squash flowers before the bees pollinate the flowers. I will try putting my garlic and onion scrapes around the squash plants to see if that will deter them.
As soon as I bought my house we started burying compost, coffee/tea, leaf mold, eggshells ( we use 6 eggs/day x 20 years) in the hard pan soil. 20 years later we have tons of deep rich humis soil with results of GIANT plants and tons of earthworms and mycorrhiza throughout the soil itself. Now if I dig I see worms and soil fungus.
Thank you very much!! You are so clear and concise in your explanations. I'm going to check your channel for more information. Many thanks for sharing your expertise. Very helpful video 🏆👏🌱🙂👍
Hello Jag, Hope you are doing well. The way you explain things is just amazing. I normally avoid watching longer videos as half the time wasted in such videos is on "You Can See" types of things. You strictly avoid that & hence each word has the relationship with the information. So long as this video goes, I wud like to differ on peanut shells. Peanut Shells add nutrients like carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus to the soil, and calcium structure and reduces soil salinity. I agree with you that peanut shells take very long to decompose, but you can use crushed ones. Also it is good filler for containers. It makes the containers light weighted & in addition adds nutrients to the potting mix. This is my experience. Of course you too have a good long experience in this field and I'm sorry if I have contradicted your views and that too on your channel. Hope you do not mind.
Fantastic video and the perfect time to have seen it. It just snowed but the weather is forecasted to be a little warmer next week. Apparently I have work to do outside. Thank you so very much
TY Jag always for your content and kindness in sharing your knowledge/experience! Was wondering if you can do vid with slant of hardy perennials in provide long lasting sustence (i.e. roots/stems/leaves) like sweet potato, Moringa, etc... Also perhaps another vid on natty local "weeds" that are hardy & healthy (i.e. Pursalane, Mallow, dandelion, etc...). Ty for in adv for your consideration!
Also be sure to turn your dead plants (including houseplants) into the garden during the fall so that their nutrients can return to the soil. Lately every time I pull up a dead plant I throw it in a pile to be dug under when the season is complete.
Very informative video. I have a bowl of hard boiled eggs we never got around to eating and was contemplating throwing them in my garden or compost. I'm so glad I watched this video first.
I always like finding something new to add to my garden like moldy bread, that's great! Liking how you get straight to the point and how well you explain things as I love simplicity lol Thank you for sharing! 👌🫶
To keep critters away from buried food fertilizer , dig a deep enough hole, place food fertilizer, then top with a handful of lime before covering with compost. The lime with add calcium and eliminate odors that bring in the digging critters. Just don't use too much lime or you have to check your PH levels. Cheers!
I just started a new compost pile and I used the shells from crab legs... was that an okay idea? Made a pile last year and used it in this years garden to be. It is my first try but with care, turning and scrapping, I was so happy with the finished product.
Great video thank you. I learned new things. I read that coffee grounds should only be added to acid loving plants, nothing else. But you say they can be added generally I also noticed you’re not digging too deep. I just make a hole big enough to fit the contents of my organic scraps Greetings from Los Angeles 👌🏻😀
I love your videos. They are so educational and your manner which you explains things make people want to listen. Thank you for sharing all this great information. You're appreciated
Great video! For a while I was using landscape cover for my garden and it’s plastic and during the hot summer it would decompose. What a waste! Now we exclusively use cardboard. It’s free btw and I love the way it protects my soil when I’m not gardening for four months of the hot 🥵 summer.
I have a coffee grinder just for egg shells. I have chickens so we get lots of eggs. I rinse the shells, dry them, grind them up and then sprinkle it into the garden rows when I plant.
Didn't know about avocado peels. I actually grind the eggshells before adding. Also, I snip the tp rolls in half and run them through my paper shredder to add as browns to my compost buckets in the middle of each garden bed. Now is a great time to add these for a spring garden.
Let the egg shells toast in the sun before crushing them and adding into soil and around the topsoil of the plant will help keep slugs away from plants. They don't like crawling on the abrasive jagged pieces. Toasted shells decompose a lot faster. The slug deterrent works best if You grind the toasted shells into a powder with a coffee grinder or mortar and pestle.
I don't have toilet paper rolls anymore unfortunately. I got a bidet and use squares cut from flannel sheets. I can't believe it took me so long to figure this out. I love it. So fresh and clean all day long. Baby wipes don't compare.
Nice video. Nice way to use up kitchen scraps. Please remember that some worms are deep soil worms and won’t make it up to those top levels. I bury my food grade buckets with wormholes and add scraps that way. They come up and eat and go back down, then when it turns to compost, I topdress. Meanwhile, the compost constantly leeches (thus u need food grade buckets). Also please bear in mind too much of a good thing, even worm castings, can cause your veggies to burn. Balance is key. ❤
I basically did this with my anole bioactive. I used a back corner to dump veggies scrapes into it. Fed all the clean up crew and all feeders breeding in there with some dry food. The plants were lush! I did not realize paper rolls adds nutrients though, I've been giving to guinea pigs to rip up.
Nice and useful, I learned a couple of things. One little detail about recycling cardboard this way though: be careful to remove printed labels as well, especially the more colorful ones, modern inks may not have led in them but still contain a few nasty chemicals that you really don't want getting into your food. And if you have the space a handful of chicken will recycle any kind of kitchen scraps directly into manure and fresh eggs, they're much easier and cheaper to keep than most other domestic animals.
I put avocado peels, onion and garlic scraps into my raised beds, never has any issues at all except onions and garlic’s regrowing the next year! Free harvest with no work! I have also had an avocado seed sprout, dug it up and brought it inside, it’s about a foot and a half now.
We have burried kitchen scap for years. We regularly get growth from those scraps which we call volunteers.
I compost these items as well, but I agree with his point that avocado peels can be a bit of a nuisance because they take a longer time to decompose. He could have mentioned citrus peels and cheese wax, as they have the same issue. And remember to peel the stickers off before composting!
I eat avocado or make avocado oil and make tea from onion and garlic peels very healthy.
WOW!!!
I compost all that stuff! I pulverise egg shells in a mortar/pestal, and pulverise dried bones with a 2 lb hand sledge, and chop everything else up very fine. I didn't know about the bread....learn something new every day! I can't wait to get back out into my garden! Started my sweet potatoes (for slips) and getting ready for starting the seeds!

Interesting. I might try this one!
I planned to use them this spring as seed pots.
I do that, too! For anyone interested, do a web search for seed cups from TP rolls. Very easy to do! And very economical!
good one and beats spending money on those sold at homedepot made from compressed cardboard like material
Soil health and its future is such an important topic; that should not be skipped. Excellent content!

How deep do you bury them? It looked like just barely. How do you plant if things haven't broken down?

How big tomatoes do you grow?
I use average grinder. Why should it be a crappy one?
@@bambinaforever1402 just bake the shells before hand to harden the shells and sterilize them
Or you can dry/crush egg shells to use as a texture in your art work
This was the easiest explanation that I have found about what to do in the garden beds. Thank you so much I really appreciate it.
Love this channel! What a great way to feed your garden without going thru the lengthy composting process. Thank you! This is great.

These are all things I put into my compost bins. I didn't realise onion/garlic repelled insects. Thanks for that info.

Let the egg shells toast in the sun before crushing them and adding into soil and around the topsoil of the plant will help keep slugs away from plants. They don't like crawling on the abrasive jagged pieces. Toasted shells decompose a lot faster. The slug deterrent works best if You grind the toasted shells into a powder with a coffee grinder or mortar and pestle.
