    Hiya Barry ,i'm going to my neigbours to get their green waste ,on the 8th.April garden waste bins will cost £80 per year to be collected in our area ,but I only cold compost ,can you imagine what a waste and pay for it £80

      @nodignorfolkgardener4575  Před 6 měsíci +3

      Hi Barry, thanks for that great tip! That's a great way to save money and be environmentally friendly by cold composting instead of paying for the garden waste bins. Why pay £80 for garden waste bins when you've got natures very own recycling system right there on your plot!

    I have ten “Dalek” type compost bins on my allotments plus two pallet bays and last year I made enough compost to cover all my beds. About ten years ago I went to a talk about making compost by a man called Mick Poultney who was a champion grower. He made useable compost in around three weeks in Dalek compost bins. The process required a lot of attention to detail and a fair bit of work and it was not for me,but I did take two things away from his talk that I have followed consistently. The first is to cut green material into small pieces and the second is to keep the material moist and this works, as in combination these speed up the decomposition process.
    This year I am trying something a little different. Our allotment site gets free deliveries of woodchips and some had been lying in one heap for a year and was decomposing well. I have filled several of my bins with this partially decomposed wood chip and previous experience tells me that by the end of this year I will have some nice compost to use.

      Thank you for sharing your composting journey and the valuable tips you've learned along the way. Sounds to me your composting techniques are next level - do share with us Mike how the wood chip composting goes - I have access to much of them. Always love to hear from you because it's always experience that helps us all learn - Thanks again!

    Hi we have a 3 bin compost set up. And turn into the next one then we have an area in front of bins where we turn the finished stuff into so we can use that. It’s always moving along like a conveyor belt. We also get a ton delivered by truck from a local contractor that makes it. It is free of chemicals it’s all garden waste. We can’t make enough and a ton is very cheap about the cost of buying just 5 bags from a garden centre which is what a lot of people do. We don’t have any lawns we do sometimes go where the council have moved grass verges or edges around where we live and rake it up. We also collect leaves in autumn for our leaf mould. We put quite course compost that we make on our ground at times with bits of twigs. Charles dowding said he does so we started to do it and it works fine. We also use straw which we cover our potatoes with a bit like Ruth stott method. And lambs wool that comes as packing for fresh animal meat. All my family saves that for us. The first time we used it the foxes could smell sheep and so dug 17:23 it all up it was really funny. What do you use your hot bin compost for and how do you get it out as it’s very tall. You say yea comes out the holes but how do you get the compost itself out. We also have a wheeley bin going all the time of comfrey feed we just top up with comfrey and water. 🙋🏻‍♀️

      Thank you for sharing your composting journey! It's inspiring to see how you're making the most out of garden waste. There is a hatch where we harvest the compost from, but like you we make rough compost more than good enough for mulching beds. If it is left in there fo 90 days it would make a much more broken down compost - we harvest after 30 days!

    Perfect timing,I was only thinking about this yesterday. It was cracking weather here yesterday outside in my shorts planning away. Today was arctic it was button mushroom and peas weather 😉 so I didn’t go out. my composting did well from last year so I’m now going to look at your idea of hot composting. Thanks again bach 👍

    I am into the second year on my allotment and there were already some pallet compost bins there when I took it on. I have only just had a proper look and to my delight at the very bottom of the heap there was some lovely compost. The top layers were not so good with rubbish like plastic added but I have been sorting it out so that it is not wasted. I plan to keep it going in the future 🙂

    I can't wait to start cutting grass to heat up a compost pile that I've been building all winter. I have tons of worms in it but not heat so it's been breaking down very slowly. Still have another 4 weeks or more before the first cut but the grass is getting green.

      Hi Frank, not so long then until the first cut! It really does heat up the pile. Great that you have been building a pile over winter. Making compost is so good, I find the challenge as exciting as growing the plants themselves!

    The only thing you do different to me is mixing things together before putting the mix in the Hotbin. I just put things in and try to alternate greens with browns. I'll try out your premixing method from now as I can see the possible benefits. Plus I will become a scrounger in my road too. I've already got a free supply of manure and woodchip locally. Keep the great info coming and thankyou.
    I'm curious to know what shredder you use as I have struggled to find a reliable model that keeps going without cutting out the power.

      Hi Ken, that's great to hear you're willing to try out the premixing method! It can definitely help speed up the composting process and make more even compost. As for the shredder, off the top of my head I can't remember the make, I'll share the details in my next video!

    Hi, I have a 3-bin system in my garden and when the contents of the 3rd bin are finished and dry enough I put it through a sieve which makes it quite a fine compost. I am unsure if that is suitable for seed sowing as I am concerned it is too rich. My seedlings are surviving in it but I am not sure if they are doing the best they could do if I returned to using multi-purpose from the Garden Centre. I would love to know what you think and if you use your made compost for seeds or potting on. Thanks for your videos which are always very helpful.
