Advice about garden compost bins please?

admin — Sat, 31 Mar 2012 14:57:11 +0000

Before I buy one, can anyone tell me if they work or not, or give any tips on using one successfully, please?

Yes, they work really well.
For best results site it on soil or grass so the worms can get into it. Put in all your uncooked vegetable and fruit kitchen waste, tea bags, coffee grinds, all your garden waste, old flowers, clippings, leaves and grass, (this is green waste) then add ripped up cardboard such as egg boxes and cereal boxesand shredded paper, (this is brown waste) and a bucket full of water every couple of weeks, (don’t make it too wet but neither does it want to be too dry).
As long as you have a balance of green, brown and wet then this will be a good combination to produce decent compost.
Have fun.

Is there any point in using composted manure if I already used leaf compost in my garden?

admin — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 05:55:10 +0000

I added 6 inches of leaf compost in my garden.

Should I add some composted manure? Or would that be a waste of money?

*the leaves were free…..

first: what type of leaves are they?
second: you said leaf compost means it already decomposed. Mostly no need for additional manure only it will fasten the decomposing along with some nutrients.
Third: depends what are you growing. if it is a perennial tree, alternate with leaf compost and manure at regular intervals.

Steamy Hot and Dirty…Compost.

admin — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 07:46:03 +0000

This is a short video I made to introduce the process of making a Berkley Thermophilic Compost. This kind of compost takes advantage of thermophilic bacteria to quickly breakdown waste and turn it into nutritious black gold for your garden in just about 18 days or a little longer.

This is the second, new and improved version to an earlier video I made.

Enjoy!
