Hi! Just wanted to ask what the name of the track at the beginning of the
video is, cheers!!
thanx for sharing your experiences, it empowers us people
i wish you a good, fullfilling life!
;-)
My heap would be in the area where my dog urinates. Is that considered
green?
wow you said 60 degrees so i looked up Fahrenheit and its 140. That’s
hot!!! didnt think it could get that hot
David, this is not word for word. I took your general statements and
condensed some into sentences that still express what you are saying. I
hope this is good enough for your translations. 🙂
Now I just wanted to show you how a compost area might look like. We have
some leaf mulch here, now i spent much of the morning separating 3
different kinds of materials. There was a big pile ontop of that old
compost pile there, we have a lot of these old branches, leaf mulch. What
I’ve also done is shredded bigger branches and this pile here is green
stuff, plenty of flies with vegetable, it will be mixed with brown stuff.
Smaller branches, older compost pile here, lovely black stuff here with
little branches which is important because too much carbon content in soil
will rob nitrogen from soil. Softer branches are okay, bigger branches are
not okay. Before we talk about how we make the compost heap, we talk about
this heap I made two months ago. I made a video on it. We see black stuff
in it, its half decomposed, twigs need to be broken, there is worms, worms
are great. The compost has cooled down and some nasturtium flowers growing
here.
How to make it: use brown carbon materials bark, mulch, paper, cardboard
leaves twigs, then comes water, fungi and bacteria make use of it. Then
branches are the brown and also allow air pockets to come into compost. Air
is important for fungi to break down the heap, green material we use
vegetable peelings, cow manures, then add soil for worms so worms can have
it to break down compost material. Eventually we go back to browns, water,
then greens, every now and then we use an inoculant, which is fungi found
in the forest. Worm castings or adding sweet compost is very good for and
innoculum. Another thing is, different materials in the garden, weeds, food
scraps, leaves, branches, if you can make sure you have a certain amount of
carbon and nitrogen (25:1) if you have these quantities in the right
amount, the decomposition process will do very well. Easiest way to think
of it is a sandwich, brown on the outside and thin layer of green inside.
Also recommend, with higher compost, make levels of brown and green, add
soil in-between, up to a meter or 2 meters, turn it once a day. It will
heat up a lot and adding water will cool it down. I was using a thermostat
to make sure its not above 60C, but u can leave it there for a day and if
its hot to the touch you should turn it and water it, if its not hot then
its okay. You can use this compost for compost tea if you care for it
enough. Bring in microbes from a wormery or an old compost heap that smells
sweet to ensure bacteria. Throw in fungi to innoculate every now and then.
Quickly here, this is hyphen, (fungi decomposing this compost). Hope that
answered a lot of question in regards to making your own compost, This is
different from a wormery that’s a low, 30cm high heap, we feed it by adding
nitrogen and carbon materials and worms as well. Now if you have any
questions drop a comment on Youtube, Facebook or private message me, thanks
for watching.
thumbs up for the spontaneous nasturtium!
It would be awesome if you could a video possibly on beneficial insect
hotel or how to keep beneficial insects around?
thanks for the video!Gardening is the best medicine for the soul….
Hi there! I am getting as much info on compost for starting my own in my
tiny garden. But what I don’t understand is: Can I start the pile at any
point of the month? And being the pile out in the open, if it rained a lot,
wouldn’t it get too wet? Doesn’t it need coverage? btw wonderful videos!
Thanks, Izzy
Thanks for your comment again David. It really didn’t seem right to me from
the beginning. I started a new garden and compostpile this year. The new
pile wasn’t heating up as I expected it would do, so that’s why I started
some research on the topic. But I’ll definetly stick to the same conclusion
to keep my pile and garden the natural way instead of the MacDonalds-way 🙂
Besides… who wants to spill beer anyway?? :p
Hi was thinking organic food starts with this 🙂
