Thanks for involving us all. You worked hard putting all that together!
Thanks for joining in. Loved your clip 😀
Combining bokashi and hot composting directly on top of the garden bed during the winter is a winner for me.
No digging in the soil and no turning of the compost.
Just let it be and use a gardening fork to add some air to the heap now and then(but no turning)
So just how many new or about to be new composters do we have with us?
Gardener Scott is actually who referred me to your channel! I’ve just started composting this year. I had a tumbler but quickly needed more space so now there’s just a pile with a round of fencing to keep the deer out. It’s only taken a few months of “nooooo” when my husband’s about to throw away his banana peel for him to remember 🤣. Now I just have to figure out a better container for the kitchen. Right now I’m just using old yogurt containers but those fill up too fast for snowy days when I don’t want to have go all the way out to the compost pile (that’s just the laziness talking). Great video! Thank you for bringing all of these great minds together!
Oh we all have those lazy moments... it's absolutely not just you 😀😀😀😀
Nice video! Thanks for putting together a great compilation of different composting options.
Thank you for joining in. There are a lot of potential composters out there who just need to find their way 😀
I seen a notice from Gardener Scott about this video. I'm a little behind on watching your videos, busy time. Great composting information. TFS 👍🌱 Happy Holidays! 🎅🎄✨🥰
I'm shocked Cindy 😀 here was me thinking you were always poised over the play button 😂🤣😂
Gardener Scott is how I found your channel
Well done everyone. Great information, thanks again to Eli and Kate, Happy composting everyone!
😀😀😀😀
I managed to get a fair amount of compost this year so I’m very encouraged. The hot bins are my spring project! Nice content! Thanks.
A wee project for the coming year sounds awesome.
I already follow Gardener Scott and You! Will check out the others. This was fun!
Some potential youtube binge watching 😀
Great video. Good to see the different ways lined up beside each other. I use several of these methods to make compost. 👍😊
I had great fun putting it together too… some awesome gardening minds
Blimey ! Beanie composter does not blink! 😂😂😂
I'll be using a myriad of ways to get my garden as healthy and affordable as I can. I love composting :D It has made my food waste almost zero.
Same here
Zero waste for us
It's great to hear so many people talk passionately about compost! 😃
It really is! 😀
Thank you watched and subscribed to everyone involved in this channel :)
Glad you enjoyed it
Because of the bins we already have in place I will be following Jessie's 3 bin compost. I think it will work the best for us. The others were very informative and later if we build more beds we will try the hugelkultur and I would love to try Vermicompost. Thanks for doing this. Cheers from the Interior of BC Canada 🇨🇦
I'm jealous that you have a 3 Bay system. That would be my perfect system
Hi Bev 👋 Yay for 3 bins! Yeah, I’d like to give the worms a go too. Some day!
You're both braver than me.... think the worms are a step too far me
@@eliandkate I have 2 bins right now both full. So I will get hubby to build the 3rd and maybe a 4th for leaves.
THANK YOU! Hugel composting is what my husband wants to try next in our pumpkin patch.
Good luck! It sounds like it might be a good thing if you have a lot of wood to get rid of 😀
Great video lots of interesting information on composting and well put together.
Awww thanks Stanley glad you enjoyed it
Wish you both a happy Christmas and all the very best for the new year,
😍😍😍😍
Thanks hun this was epic!!! I can see why you were so excited :D :D :D I watch Dan cos he like me likes to grow things that technically "don't grow here" lol and Jessie is sweet been watching her for a while now :D :D :D We can't have any of those methods where we live due to restrictions but what we do do works a treat. I just stick all the scraps in the blender and then the slurry in a bucket and let it ferment. The ferment then goes into each container we are growing in and the plants love it :D :D :D
That's a good idea! I may have to try that blender method!
Eli, this was awesome. I follow two of them already. Interestingly, I follow you because one of them suggested you. LOL Thanks so much!
Oh how exciting 😀
Really interesting to see everyone's different approaches! Thank you for sharing your ideas!
How are you getting on with your hotbin?
Yes!! U all rock! This my best gardening because of all of u!! Gracias
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Thank you so much for that. It was really interesting
Really glad it was an interesting watch, hopefully it'll be useful info 😀
Thank you for the simple breakdown of each method and the pro's and con's.
I will be saving this video and using it as a reference in the future.
So glad it was helpful Glynis! And good luck with the composting adventure
Amazing Vid Thank you so much.
Awww thanks Andy. Glad you enjoyed it 😀😀😀
This is a brilliant resource, thanks for getting this out there.
Excellent Dawn, glad you found it useful. 😀
Great video's, thanks for all of the new ideas for me to use in my gardens.
Yay.... New ideas are always fun
That was great Eli! Now I have to go off and research these other types of composting that I didn't know about!
That sounds like the perfect job for a cold day when you'd rather be indoors 😀
Thank you for putting this together! Great explanation of each type of composting!
Glad it was useful for you Nancy 😀
Gardener Scott is the best !
Very informative!
Glad you enjoyed it. No excuse for nit getting your composting sorted now
This video is AMAZING! Congrats on organizing it and I will be checking each of the accounts out. Thanks for all the different methods in one video. 🤗
Glad you found it useful Ash. 😀😀😀
Awesome team work and information. Thank you for putting all this together. Gardner Scott sent me a few weeks ago. I’ve enjoyed your channel so much! Merry Christmas! Blessings!
Our pleasure! 😀
Hello all, because I use darlek type compost bins (2) I have to always remember not just to stuff them but moisten and turn or mix my compost. I do leave them all winter to decompose without adding new stuff, I use hubbies house compost bin during winter. Thank you for sharing everyone ✌️🇨🇦🐝 safe and Merry Christmas 🎅🎄
The dalek bins seem to be super common in city gardens here. I guys it's a tidier way of having a pile
@@eliandkate we have rats lol out here in the countryside the darleks seem to be better for keeping the compost safe from them nesting and city hall sells them cheap
Ah the joy of rats! 😑 We have a couple of darliks but the badgers just push them over looking for worms 😂
Wow I follow Gardener Scott
Thanks Guys one and all thoroughly enjoyed and very informative , I think I may try a version of 3 Bay Compost system for next year , Thanks again Eli & Jessie@plot37
I think the 3 Bay is a great system if you have the space.
@@eliandkate thanks guys , need to have a re shuffle of my raised beds , I was going to build another raised bed but might try and include a new 3 bay compost system in its place , thanks once again x
Great video thanks. I already followed Dan and Jess but will definitely check out the other channels.
I think we all follow Dan and Jessie 😀
Hello! I've just come over from Danny at...
(The Grapevine allotment.) looking forward to watching your vids. 😁🤗
Welcome to our community, glad to have you
👍🏾
😀
Awesome video. Great collaborative effort all-round. I wasn't aware of the hot bin method being possible in a small garden space. Any information on where to get the hot bins and how much space they require? Thank you guys for putting this together, very informative👍
Hey,
Yeah the hotbins are designed for small gardens and urban spaces.
Pop over to www.hotbincomposting.com/ and you can get more info. And of course, I have heaps of videos of my journey with the hotbin.
Eli your videos are cracking and thanks for putting this together, very interesting. I’m a very keen composter and have various darlek type bins on the go as I have a large plot and am moving more towards no dig…although there is something satisfying about having a good dig occasionally!. My question to you, as I am tempted to get a hot bin, do you get many worms in the compost you get out?
Absolutely no worms in the compost because the bin is too hot. It would kill them.
You will occasionally see worm have made their way in if the binbhasnt been at temperature but they all make a bid for the lid to try to get out
@@eliandkate thank you, I did think it might be too hot for worms.
Really appreciate this! I wonder what kinds are best for not attracting pests as the rats etc here in nz will kill native birds and I'd rather not feed them 😂.. Perhaps the closed container types..
Rats etc tend to be attracted to what you are composting, so as much as the sealed units may help it may be better to be conscientious about what you are putting into the compost pile. Don't know is this is helpful for you

@@eliandkate thank you, didn't even think to look at sites like that! I see meat and dairy attracts and I'm vegan so I suppose that will help 😂.
Dan is who sent me here
He’s a good lad is Dan 😍
@@eliandkate yes he is! New sub here great video
@@eliandkate it's taken me a while to find good gardening channels from England. But I'm starting to find you all nice to be able to enjoy people from my own zone.
Glad you enjoyed it. I don’t do those types of videos very often, so nice to make them special 😀
Does any one use garrota?
Not me, sorry. There's no really any need with the hotbin
@@eliandkate Eli Micky Mouse has breached my defenses and eaten all my broad beans just as they had sprouted! At least he had a good new year eve feed! Bless him! Hope he has belly ache today! Ho Hum!
Oh no!!!!!! Bet he's been waiting and watching....
Eli I need to give you an apology. Lots of people have been saying that I pronounced your name wrong. I am sorry so please forgive me.
😂🤣😂🤣 ach don't worry about it Beanie. Loads of folk do, not the end of the world 😀😀😀
Hope you guys are having a lovely day xxx
