Art Of Compost: Retaining Heat and Review of Modifications to the Heap
Просмотров 19314 дней назад
Final thoughts on Hot Composting with water bottles, where to place, and in on big stack or different spots. Along with keeping the compost pile warm enough to keep the water bottles hot enough to heat up the heap. Which makes the system still in the working it out phrase but shows potential for faster compost making. #compostpile #compostbin #grow #growathome #organicgardening
Art of Composting: Adding Heat
Просмотров 53621 день назад
Previously I showed how adding hot water bottles can add extra heat in a pile with low nitrogen content. However, the magic number of 150 degrees F or 65 degrees C is a big huddle for many home composters. Therefore, by adding more water bottles into the core and more grass clippings throughout the pile to even out the heat and enhance the amount of heat in the heap. #gardening #compostheap #gr...
Landscaping with Rocks and Using Shrubs of Privacy.
Просмотров 3728 дней назад
Landscaping with Rocks can add a permeant and natural look while adding natural shapes. Although more costly than wood however the color and shape of the rocks in use can add more interest in the land space. While certain plants can be used to provide more privacy with raised beds. This video shows how to make use of both items. #gardening #grow #landscaping

The Art of Compost: Adding Extra Heat and Air

Compost is both an act of science and an art forum. I run two different systems and often time my compost suffers usually due to low heat. Therefore, I need to add more heat, regulate air flow and water better. Air flow is better with chicken wire, garden wire, or a perforated pipe in the center of the pile. The heat can be aided with hot water bottles can act as a heat sink which will act as a...
Summer is Hurting My Garden, and the Honeybees Are Doing Great.

This summer has been very rough on the garden. Low return on food production, more watering needs.

      In terms of saving labour this is true. However, those weeds can choke out the other plants. Then there's the issue of roots and seeds. In your suggestion letting them rot will help but how will you limit the growth the following season?

So I gave up trying too tell them and just took their money and did it their way. When I got home I thought, how much land will I need to build a compost bin for my 6 acres.

    Video starts at 1:21. A few points that were missed. 1. Leaves will not break down without moisture. So wet them thoroughly. 2. Air flow helps but isn't required. If leaving in a closed trash bin like the one shown, cover it to preserve the moisture, block light, and prevent excess rain from pooling at the bottom. 3. If your pile is over 2-3 cubic feet, most leaves will heat up during an initial thermal phase. Adding worms at this time would be smart, as they will find a temperature they like and and stay there eating your leaves all winter. The result will be a combination of leaf mold and worm castings, it'll break down faster, and is great for plants. 4. If you won't be adding worms, ground contact is essential. The worms will find it and help break it down much faster.

    • @tulsaurbanfarmer
      @tulsaurbanfarmer 9 месяцев назад

      Thank you for your information. I don't add worms to the bin for a few reasons. We can have hard winters out here. Ground contact is ideal, however the leaves will still breakdown at a slower rate.
