Ive got a lot of different ways of composting on the go in my garden including burying things in the garden. What i like best though is burying scraps and even left over rice in the worm farm under the mushroom compost. It wasnt until i started actually burying scraps (rather than covering them with a blanket or cardboard) that i felt like i was having success. To me it seemed to help the worms do an even better job. I got the idea from a very old book i found at the library called 'worms eat my garbage.'
I have been following Mark for quite some time now and your right he is pretty awesome. I have worm buffets in my raised garden beds which I had purchased from Bunnings and I have found that they are pretty awesome as they don't take up too much space. My large raised garden bed I have placed 2 of the worm buffets and the smaller beds just one. The size of my vegies is omg lol.
Hey Marty, good to see you creating regular content again. I don't bury kitchen waste like Mark, but I do have some 20l bucket versions of the subpod scattered around. Of course, I have regular compost bins and a multi-level worm farm too. I'm still in the creation stage at our new home of 6 months but we've got food growing and fruit trees maturing. I just can't make enough compost right now but we'll get there eventually. Cheers Marty!
Good to see you back on a regular time scale. I have been following self sufficient me for ages along with you. Here in Perh with our dreadful sandy soil it works a treat then ayear later I dig in more compost add blood & bone aged manures and anhalf an ice cream container of worm castings stuff grows gang busters at that site also smae in like lasagna bed within old bathtubes replenish every 2 or 3 years let me know if tou want some photos and or recipes for sandy soils remediation
Would love to have that kind of set up! On a much smaller scale, I put used holey yoghurt pots in my polystyrene broccoli box (free and readily available:) garden. Some compost worms in them and a regular feed seems to keep them happy - been doing this for a few years now, but maybe there is a down side working at this level that I’m not aware of?
Good Morning Marty , Family and Friends 😀
Good morning Rick!

Thanks for sharing that tip, it definitely does work burying the scraps a little

Down side, I would say no if the worms are breeding and able to move in the garden through aging compost and mulch
