    Growing up, we always just put the scraps on the paths in the parts of the garden that were resting. The soil seemed to enjoy it.
    I like the idea of using the fermented compost tea to water with.

    You can make a compost pile wherever without enclosing it in anything. Mix different things, water it, every now and then turn it all and wet it. The Bakashi 's advantage is that you can let it build up in the kitchen without it stinking. But if you have a pile, just put your daily kitchen scraps in the pile. Bless you!

    Squirrels are the worst! For the past 5 years or so, I have been starting my sunflower seeds in toilet paper rolls so I can plant out in the rolls and not disturb the roots. Once they are 3-5 inches tall the squirrels and birds don’t feast on them. Till they are producing seeds, that is! :) good luck with the replanting!

    Old fashion way for keeping away critters and birds Hang aluminium pie pans around the garden. I've also heard to have a whirly gigs and spinning garden decor. Can't tell you how effective they work but worth a try.

    This is exactly what I needed! #GREENSTALK SEND BRI AN AFFILIATE CODE! I lost alot of strawberries last year, trying to plant them, they did not winter over in my green stalk...they also were very tart. ( Seascape and the ones with hot pink beautiful flowers) I had heard about the crown, but its really hard to see. Even harder in the Greenstalk! I see now what I may have done wrong. Tier not filled enough. Crowns not completely out of soil. The angle idea too. I tried planting with tiers together, but it was difficult to see as I was planting. All of these ideas will help!

      Dairy stinks and can therefore attract critters. But if you put at the hot center of the pile it is not noticible and then it just gets broken down like everything else.

I did pick a couple heads of broccoli and cauliflower already because I got them in early and the sugar peas are just about ready but the tomatoes and squash I’ve got all summer to go, but you have come a long way and I do mean a long way from what you had. And you’re doing fantastic. I don’t know how you manage with seven little ones they’re a handful I can imagine but I do give you kudos for pushing forward and just keep moving forward. You have been blessed and just keep going sweetie really just keep going hon. You are incredible.❤❤

    Maybe while you wait for some kind of composting system suitable for your situation.....you could search out ... either a rabbit poop or a goat poop supplier in your area. These are cold fertilizers and you could use them right away. Just a suggestion.....Good luck with your new system.

    0:52 Sweetie. You have kitchen scraps that's nitrogen. You also have lawn and gress cuttings are also free compost nitrogen (side note. Mulching lawn mowers grind up valuable resource and waste it, most often.) Dried leaves are carbon. Make compost. Plant crops that make crops for compost. Lawns with clover etc can generate and awful lot of nitrogen. Blessings everyone.

      @MissBetsyLu Год назад +1

      @@Brifromscratch those little things are not going to do much in a big household with a big garden. Can use same process in containers that are much bigger, I'm almost sure. Also. Maybe grow blocks of crops like hulling peas. Then when done harvesting, cut tops for mulch (aka sheet composting). Layered with dry leaves etc. Lots of crops can be grown for mulch ( sheet composting) in the garden. And of course, make plans to plant cover crops in every available bare inch (lol, maybe not every inch) as soon as bare for end of season. Many rich blessings everyone.

    Many years ago our council ran a project giving out Bokashi kits for free. I really didn't get on with it, but I think it's because there wasn't enough of the bran to stop it smelling the house out. I look forward to seeing how you get on with it, because I haven't thought about it since then. I was lucky to be running big muck heaps at the time, so didn't really need to.
