Compost in 40 gallon Containers for Container Gardening-Recycle your trash for compost

Hi! This is Going Organic. You can find our website at “www.goingorganic.weebly.com”! Today I am going to talk about composting.
It is winter time here in Central Florida. I am composting in containers to prepare for a container garden in the spring. I’ve drilled 3/8″ holes in the bottom of these 40 gallon containers. I’ve added oak leaves to the containers with shredded paper and cardboard from the home shredder, used coffee grounds from Starbucks, water from the fish pond, egg shells, cow manure, vegetable scraps.
All those old bills and junk mail you shred at home can be a carbon source for your compost. This is one more way to recycle and not send paper to the landfill.
Used coffee grounds are a good source of nitrogen. Once the grounds are used, their ph is close to neutral. So they are very safe for plants. I picked up this bag full of coffee grounds the other day. Starbucks has a recycling program for their coffee grounds. Anytime, you can walk in and ask for their used coffee grounds. They will pull the whole trash bag full of grounds out and double bag it for you. The other day, the server even carried it out to the car for me. I just want to say “Thanks!” to the Lake Mary Starbucks for all their free coffee grounds.
I’ve been using water from the fish pond, since it is used as liquid fertilizer in hydroponic systems. I have a page on my website on how to build an easy portable fish pond.
I save the egg shells from cooking, since tomatoes like calcium. I let them dry out overnight. Then I break up the eggshells into small pieces and add them to the compost.
Eventually I will substitute worm castings for cow manure. I didn’t start on my worm farm early enough to put it into this compost. The worm castings will provide much more nutritive value directly to the plant.
I had a lot of potatoe peals left over from Christmas dinner that I added to the containers a few days ago. Composting is a great way to recycle much of the waste that you usually take to the curb. Did you ever wonder how much of the trash in landfills is comprised of food waste. Well, according to the Department of Agriculture, it’s approximately 100 billion pounds every year. The average household alone ends up throwing out 14 percent of their food purchases.
Every few days, I dump the leaves into other containers to stir up all the leaves and increase the oxygen level in the mulch.
I put these large black garbage bags over the containers to accelerate the composting. This soil will be ready when all the leaves have broken down to the point where they can’t be recognized as leaves anymore. At that point, it should look like rich black soil.
So let me know what you think about the video. Also contact me at my website: “www.goingorganic.weebly.com”! I will keep you updated this coming spring on how well the compost turned out. Thanks for watching.

Mindbites: How to Make Organic Compost

http://www.mindbites.com/lesson/136-how-to-make-organic-compost

Marisol works at the Oasis Gardens in Austin, Tx. This wholly organic farm produces bountiful produce of such beauty and splendor the likes of which your local grocery store has probably never seen.

In this lesson, with a pleasant degree of pep and vivaciousness, she divulges everything there is to know about homemade organic compost.

Composting is a beneficial activity for many reasons, one being that it keeps easily decomposable organic waste out of the already over-flowing junkyards were it will most likely sit wedged between piles old Coke Zero bottles and discarded America Online start-up discs. And, for the home gardener, the benefits from your own compost heap are astronomical.

It’s simple, easy, and environmentally concise…a triple whammy!

Click on link above to watch full lesson.
