Where is the article where Jerry talks about the relationship between mulch types and different fungi types? That was the most new to me, informative and interesting article I've seen in the last 3 years on gardening australia.
Great idea having a sin bin. I need one here. I'm doing most composting a metre cube old tin bin inside the main chook pen. The chooks turn the layers for me and deposited goods , they also feast on the scraps and bugs etc and are the happiest flock here . Laying very well and eating less grain than the others. The bins half full of beautiful dark , smell free compost and im hardly doing anything but add water or hay between layers. 🤩
Brilliant thanks! Do you (or does anyone) have a special trick for regularly getting the decomposed material out from the bottom of the compost bins/containers when all the half done and newer stuff over it on the top in their layers?
If you fill your sin bin with water and allow it to rot for a couple of weeks, you can use the water as a fertilizer and innoculant for the soil and your compost piles.
Does this work for my onion weed, Nothoscordum inodorum? Im trying to eradicate it from my place by digging it up, and all the surrounding soil and then putting it in the bin. Repeat every year. Also, leaving that area a pit into which all the water flows as I want to drown the remnant bulbs and seeds. Plus those pits tell me where the onion weeds were and not to plant anything there for the next 5 years?. But, all this earth makes the bin so heavy , I can only (partially) remove 60cm2 per fortnight. Would submerging the onion weed bulbs, stems, seeds and surrounding earth in water for 4 weeks be enough to completely kill them to the extent that I could pour that mess back onto my garden??
Yes, and you can add food scraps to charcoal, the charcoal will absorb the nutrients, then add it to your compost pile. It gets mighty stinky though, I keep it far from the house, it is similar to Korean natural farming fermentation. When you use it dilute 1/4, and water your garden. They will be very happy.
when we have a home kill or deceased hen they all go in compost with loads of carbon rich material amazing compost and the worms party like they are on speed. no smell at all cause i keep offal to centre no flys either cause i cover it well.
I have just found a bag of sugar cane mulch behind my shed I bought 5 years ago, it has decomposed, Is this ok to put in my vegepod and worm farm. Thanks for any info.
This needs to be taught in schools
Agreed! Thanks for watching.

Fantastic setup, great explanations…and plantabulous results!
Thanks so much!
Incredible, no doubt learnt over many years of experience.
Thanks for watching!
Great information, thanks.
Even if they only live in leaf litter and compost, I could not handle having cockroaches in my worm farms! 🤯
My composting method is easy and simple: no rule composting.
Thank you for sharing. It's so systematic. Everything has its own purpose. Tq again

Great tips Jerry 👌 I live on acreage & I hand weed a LOT of prickly weeds Can I place them in a "Sin Bin" & use same way? 👩🌾

@@GardeningAustralia thank you so much 🥰
Does BCC know you've repurposed *their* recycling bin for plant waste?
I thought that too!

Didn't I just see this on TV?!
Interesting
Over 6 Tons do you mean wet/green material weight that goes into it not what you get out?! 🤔
👍
