    Pro tip. Turn the lid upside down, drill some holes, and then when it rains it will drip into the bucket without letting a lot off it evaporate later

    This came right on time I had just asked myself how do you make compost. My grandmother lived on a sharecropping farm in her younger years and when I grew up, I watched her for leftover food and put earth worms in a pile of muddy looking soil inside her garden area and I never knew why now I wish I had all of her gardening skills as it is Absolutely necessary now with the upcoming famine as prophesied in in the Bible

    I started composting about 2 months ago it’s going okay so far I’m a beginner so I’m just being patient and tending to it and letting rain water get in it and stuff. This video definitely helped because one thing I didn’t do right was layer the wood and stuff on the bottom to help promote drainage so it’s been a little swampy in my compost bin. Overall great vid though!

    my girlfriend gives me all of her scrapes every Monday, Wednesday & Friday. all her food scrapes from egg shells to coffee grounds, bread etc. anything that has seeds I don't put into my compost bin that goes to my ducks. my egg shells I dry out & then ground them into powder for the soil when I repot my plants. i also go to the river & get sand i put that into my compost bin & my repotted plants. i don't put lawn cuttings in my compost bin as we have heaps of weeds with seeds

      Try bokashi. You make a bacteria bran and put kitchen scraps in a bucket sprinkled with the bran. You can buy the bran/em1 solution online if you'd rather. The scraps ferment and then you bury them in your soil.

    I just found your channel and I am blown away. I have been gardening for over 50 years and what you are telling people is going to help more than you can imagine. It is important to keep compost moist. I saw your video where you mentioned Rainwater and going to a lake to get water from there. What about people who experience a lot of droughts? I worry about our water supplies. I will often use tapwater when I have to, but I continually wonder if the chlorine, chloramine, and other toxic ingredients are harming plants. Not only that, but how much are they harming people. We need to get people paying attention to what’s in their water and how harmful it is to us.

    • @variyasalo2581
      @variyasalo2581 2 місяці тому

      Try a rainwater catchment system to use in your garden. You can also buy filtered and UV irradiated water which will kill the viruses, etc.

    I legit watched the whole thing & right after i went outside & drilled couple holes into a 5 gallon home depot bucket that i’ve been using for about a year now to throw my food scraps into and then i placed the bucket between my lemon tree & onions & pepper plant. (The water from the bucket smelled like shit & your drill/tool will also smell like shit afterwords🤣🤣 so be careful if you wanna do my method) but it also took 30 minute from drilling to watering down the area after to clean up. Lets see how it goes in LA area 5/25/24

    Question as I’m prepping to compost. If it doesn’t rain do you occasionally add water? Will the scraps cause maggots in the compost? Lastly is it just raw scraps? I’ve purchased one tote so far but the garbage pail seems like a better idea for the actual compost. And I’ve been putting my scraps away n a freezer bag. Also have a 5 gallon bucket bucket that a literally collected dried leaves and twigs. I’m so excited to actually start!

      Why should you remove the stickers? They primarily are paper and glue. The paper counts as brown and can be composted. I would think that the glue is negligible because there is so little of it. It should be organic like kitchen waste. I’m just thinking this through. 😊. I will research it. 😅
