Thank you 🙏 since I had so many weeds that had gone to seed, I asked the neighbours for their lovely clippings. They were more than happy for me to take them. First I asked if they’d used and pesticides/herbicides. I now have lovely compost ready to use. This is a great technique and thank you for sharing your knowledge
I really appreciate the way you read comments and try to answer questions but what was really impressive was that you took hint comments, passed those on and gave credit to your subscribers - thank you very much
Another quick tip for anyone worried about the cardboard damaging or blunting the lawnmower blades, wet the cardboard first. It breaks down easier and mixes a bit better with the rest of the grass and leaves. Don’t just wet the outer surface though, make sure it’s wet through and on the soggy side.
You are now my go to channel now for composing. I appreciate your thoroughness and knowledge so much, and between these two videos, you covered everything I’ve ever wondered, honestly! About weeds, food scraps vs grass, about cardboard and paper, heat vs size and speed - just everything! Thank you SO much!!!
Fantastic tutorial thanks. Just a thought. Instead of struggling to chop or mow the dry cardboard just wet it down first and tear it up much more easily to mix in. It'll break down much quicker too.
Good job. I've adjusted a few things, however used your method as a starting point. Thank you for the inspiration. Regards from the Blue Mountains Australia 🇦🇺
Thanks for another great video. Great gardening advice. Working with nature and creation. Working with items that most people can use without having to spend vast sums of money.. love your videos.
SubhanAllah You are right Co incidentally I had put my weeds and grass pulled out from slabs plus dry matter ( some dry leaves+, cardbox pieces) in a bag and left it . It was crumbled into a nice compost.
@@MyFamilyGarden Mashallah la Quwata illah billah, informative and easy to follow formula. I have used out of date (dates ,sultanas , and figs) to fasten the composting . You know how precious these fruits are, they are mentioned in the Quran and recommended in the Prophetic Medicine In fact, I have made a solution and used it on its own as a fertilizer and into soil and the compost.
Hello my good friend. I am an avid follower. I am 74 and have been allotment gardening since you were in nappies. However I have my eyes opened by you so much I am now going to ask you what’s is purely basic questions because my veg growing is stuck in the dark ages. I have(after a 3 year break) taken on a small plot again from to start immediately. I have already marked out where to put the wood clippings, of which there is a huge pile available because I am keen to try your Potato growing method. We both like chips and roast potatoes and usually buy Maris Piper, but can you advise the best seed spuds to buy for this main purpose. I am looking at a First Early crop. Can you also advise what veg to plant now, before the onset of winter. I have planted onion sets at home but wonder if they will grow in your woodchip method. I live in middle England, Milton Keynes. Looking forward to your reply. Thanks.
Thank you Graham for the support and encouraement. I prefer red skinned potatoes for grwoing in the 'ground' as a first early duke of york did quite well for me this year and desiree are one that i really like as a main crop. You can still sow lettuce, onions from seed, broad beans, pak choi, mustard leaves as food crops but i'd also plant lots of cover crops/green manures to protect and to build the soil - ua-cam.com/video/8vQw5Ll5L3w/v-deo.html Onions sets will work but it's best not to have the woodchips as deep, better to have the roots sit in the soil and the woodchip as mulch - here's an old video i did on the method of planting the onions - ua-cam.com/video/7DujTg5hs0Q/v-deo.html
Bo Shukrea A real idiots guide to composting and taken on board by me as the riight idiot As I was told many years ago if you do not ask you will never know Some GREAT questions there and the answers were easily understandable CHEEEEEEEERS
If you're short on Greens for nitrogen, you can add some ammonia to the water to charge it, or urine. I don't mean to pee on the pile either, as some suggest. I mean, use a watering can for a urinal and pour it on in large quantities. I produce 2-3 gallons a day, so this works well for me. I also use it on the garden beds in addition to regular fertilizer.
hey sir, i really like your video. can i use your idea as my college assignment for making compost? (ofc ill put credit on it) in Indonesia the weather is not hot as it used to be and your compost method doesnt need heat as much as common compost, so that's why your composting method is so helpful for me. i hope you allow me to re-creater your method. thank you sir🙏🏻
Salam Brother I tried to make compost in my compost bin but i put everything in it from my kitchen waste like fruits n vegetables peel and bones and leftover food etc now there are lots of slugs and ants and snails are living in my bin so can you please guid me what can i do now because I’m not even trying to touch that bin 🤣🤣🤣
here's th original process from start to finish ua-cam.com/video/V8D9gvOlAKU/v-deo.html The NPK will roughly be about the same for the ingreadinets goin in i expect but as a someone working in my backyard accurate testing is not available

Watched gardener's world tonight - a tour of 50 acre gardens - so relevant to us gardeners, I wish you presented GW,
Sometimes it's so hard to relate to these programmes it's a shame because they have such a great platform

AWESOME! I was wondering about that. 😀
Ah, I should have read the comments before adding mine about wetting the cardboard first. Ooops!

Well explained . I like placing a thick layer of soil at the base of my compost bin. Soil also have a lot of earthworms . .Thank for sharing.
I think it's really useful to add soil
Masha allah bro I love your video’s and I watch it every time and share it with my family we live in USA keep doing what you doing GOOD JOB bro
Jazakallah khair, i really appreciate the support brother
Fantastic tutorial thanks.
Just a thought.

Thank you, will give it a go when I can. I always tell my mum not to throw away the worms in her garden but she never listens.
Lol, Worms are so beneficial to the soil and their poo is full of nutrients
Brilliant, informative, and more importantly, a lot, a lot of logic👍👍👍
Thanks Mark
A brilliant compost video brother. Excellent advice and I'm going to use molases and will let you know how I get on
It's a really good way of boosting bacteria in the garden
The Q&A video is great, really useful information. Thank you for sharing!
Glad you found it useful
Thanks for explaining in great detail the awesome information you gave in your last video
Glad you like it
nice MashaAllah very nice video thanks for sharing
Jazakallah khair
Good explanation my brother... Masha Allah... Great
Jazakallah khair brother, i'm happy it helped
ماشاءللہ
Jazakallah khair
Thank you for your 1st video, I started my pile 2 days ago! This Q&A was a wonderful follow up. I'm excited to see if I can make this compost work 🤞
Sounds good..will give this ago 🤗
I'm glad you liked it
Well delivered
Thanks
Good job.

Awesome, i'm glad it's working for you. thanks for feedback
Thanks very much. I don't have the space or waste for a full compost pile so this is perfect.
Perfect!
Very clever! Thank you :)
I'm glad you like it 😊
Thanks for another great video. Great gardening advice. Working with nature and creation. Working with items that most people can use without having to spend vast sums of money.. love your videos.
thank you, I don't have loads of money so can't afford to waste it so i''ve learned to make do with what i have avaiable
Nice new Greenhouse!
Thanks
Amazing Video
thanks
Great job, must try this. Thanks, Poo
Thanks Poo, good luck with it
@@MyFamilyGarden I forgot to ask, do you use the molasses/sweet water just once when you start or do you use it each time you water? Kind regards, Poo
@@poosmate sorry that's the question I missed out. Depends on how it's breaking down if it's breaking down well then you don't need to repeat
I always enjoy your hints and tips on composting Monty, this was a great, informative video, thank you 😊
Compost has turned into a passion of mine, really gets me buzzing lol
Great video. When you water it every turn, is it always with the sweet content, or is that just for the first water? Thanks
It depends on how it's breaking down, if it looks like it needs a push use more sugar water
SubhanAllah You are right
Co incidentally I had put my weeds and grass pulled out from slabs plus dry matter ( some dry leaves+, cardbox pieces) in a bag and left it .
It was crumbled into a nice compost.
the method that i developed will take that process and make it even faster. The way you suggest is a really easy passive way of making compost

Some GREAT questions there and the answers were easily understandable
CHEEEEEEEERS
LMAO, if you try it let me know how you get on
Thank you! These answers clarify a process!
Glad it was helpful!
Back again 👍👍👍 top tricks and handy hints
Cheers mate it's a quick a dirty process for when you need compost quickly

Hi..assalamualaikum Bro. Monthyn
Liked all your videos contents...very informative ...i am learning bit by bits.
Thanks a millions.
Walaikum Salaam, mashallah the early bird catches the worm :)
i'm really happy to hear that they are helping
Monty how long do you use the Molasses for is it just the first water are all the waters great upload as always and great information
Thanks mate, depends how it's breaking down, if it's breaking down well you can stop using it, if it needs a boost then use it again
@@MyFamilyGarden thanks monty
Love your channel mate. Think you're the perfe t balance of humour and information. Keep it up 🏆
Much appreciated
Thanks!
You're very Welcome!
Mashallah good advice, where are you based brother?
I'm in Leeds
👍🏻

Great vid as always.
Do you plain to go live again?
I'll be back live again from next week
Hi Can I add wood chips
Do you use the molasses with every watering?? or just the first watering when you start the compost pile?
can the container be a compost tumbler? and with the tumbler do you still rotate it every other day or will that rotation schedule change?
Each day you water it - are you using the same as the first day ie. is it still mixed with molasses & in the amount of about 8 liters per wheelbarrow?
Is it just the one time that you water with molasses water or more then once.

Asalamualaykum, yes that's absolutely fine, i'd like to see a copy of it when you're done if that's ok
@@MyFamilyGarden wa'alaykumussalam ok sir thank you so much☺️
👍👍👍
Can I replace the leaves/greens with the used straw mulch?
You can try it, it might take a bit longer
Does the sugar make it stink?
Do you have to use a thermometer?
Not to make compost but it's good to know what temperatures the piles are reaching
Remove any plastic tape from the cardboard.
Always do 👍
Mothin, what brand is your molasses please ??
The one I used was AZKA but I just normally buy the cheapest I can find
Omg I’d be dead if I had molasses in my compost. 💀🤣
Purely because we eat it so fast!
Lol, it's good stuff in the garden
Salam Brother I tried to make compost in my compost bin but i put everything in it from my kitchen waste like fruits n vegetables peel and bones and leftover food etc now there are lots of slugs and ants and snails are living in my bin so can you please guid me what can i do now because I’m not even trying to touch that bin 🤣🤣🤣
