How to make compost easy seed, trash turned to gold
Brilliant! I am going to copy this and set up a compost tote just like yours in my grandchildren’s school garden! You are something else! ❤
The kids are going to love this!🎉
Oh COOL, and keep a closer eye on it than I did, and you’ll be able to see it break down day after day. That is going to be wonderful. Just think each child can maybe add I their own item 😊. Let me know how it goes. ❤
What a great lesson for those kids! Great idea!
I went to the goodwill and got 15 totes for $28.27 I was so excited. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us. I will tomorrow fill them up with dead leaves and paper. I am so excited to start my container garden ❤
Oh Wow, that was an incredible find. Just think how much you’re going to grow with such a small amount of money you spent on those totes, super cool 😊 have fun gardening thanks
@@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy thank you for sharing your knowledge with me. I was so excited to find the totes and looking forward to tomorrow so I started planting. Thank you again
Wow that's a GREAT deal! My Goodwill charges almost as much as new ones cost! I did get lucky one day when I made a donation drop off at another thrift store though and they had a stack of totes without lids that were FREE! I did the happy dance for sure that day! :)
I need a find like that!
You’ve taught me so much about composting and showed that it does not have to be complicated!
Nature is simple too 😊
❤😊
Our cherry tomatoes came back from last yrs plants and you can really taste the difference from store bought. They are so sweet and natural tasting!!
😎
OMG I’ve been following you for the last three weeks. I saved my kitchen scraps, to rolls, twigs, egg shells etc just as you instructed in 5 gallon free buckets from landscaper. I’m shocked they broke down in our warm Dallas sunshine in 3 weeks!! The most beautiful compost ever and it did not smell! I’m so excited to make more dirt. I just began planting my garden totes. Thanks to you both for this gardening Revolution!
Robbie, you are so creative and thoughtful in wanting to show us the composting process! You have taught me so much about composting and gardening, plus I guess you could say that you have taught us how to recycle so many different things. Thank you for making this tote so we can watch the process! ❤😊❤😊
You are so welcome ❤ it was fun, and I think I will do this again 😊 again thank you
I saw another video from the past where you set up a tote that way - including things a lot of composting lists say not to compost - like pasta and dairy - and the things I have planted in that tote have been the BEST growing plants I have ever grown in years! Thank you so much for encouraging me to step outside the composting rule box!!
Thank you. Your welcome.
I've always done container gardening. Last year I followed your method of composting in 5 totes. Best looking soil ever. Now that the snow is going away and warmer days ahead I am starting 4 more totes. Thanks Robbie 👍
Wonderful! Glad you loved it and created great free soil, like nature does. Thanks so much for this wonderful message
I was so impressed by the way 'Robbie's Continuous Composting Technique' improved yields from my courgette plants last year, I started adding kitchen waste to several totes and large pots a few weeks ago, ready for when the season starts to warm up.
By the time it's safe to put courgette plants outside in late May/early June, there should already be a decent level of semi-composted material ready to get them going. I'm looking forward to a much better yield this year!
Thank you. Thanks for sharing!
Dear Robbie, I have missed you! You nourish my soul with your wonderful gardening ways. Last May 2022 I fell getting out of the tub and cracked 3 ribs and tailbone, then February 2 severely burned my foot on a space heater in, then recently tipped a skillet of smoking hot oil on top of my hand. Needless to say I have been depressed and living in my recliner 😢 Spring is sprouting here in southern Indiana and just getting well enough to start working on my tote garden. You encourage me to putter in my garden. Like 1 UK Gardener says do a little often. I know it always makes me feel better.
I love you so much. You have no idea how you have helped me. With all my heart I thank you thank you thank you 🌹🌹🌹🌹
What a great explanation Robbie. I started using your method last fall and I’ve created tons of usable soil. Free!! Thanks for the great tips you bring us.🌷✨🌵
Thanks Barbara.
You are my kind of lady. I like how you help me save my money!!!!
I am so glad I can help you save money, because most of us need that 😊 thanks ❤
For 2 weeks I've been saving my kitchen scraps. And this is what I ended up with-8 egg shells and some used coffee grinds. Being from the old school of waste not/want not, I cook exactly what I'll eat within 3 days. No left overs. So, my new soil will have to consist of grass clippings, sticks, leaves, and last years veggie stems from my totes, buckets, and pot containers. I'm not sure if I should be proud or sad. Ha
The pot containers might give it a kick.
It’s all good and don’t forget to add paper
@@oldladyfromnm7590 Thanks!
@@pinkypooky5779 Thanks! I have my t.p. rolls all ready. Ha
Hey, that’s a good start, now you add in the stuff that you’ll collect like leaves from your garden, toilet paper rolls, paper towel rolls, paper napkins, you probably don’t use paper napkins…but your grass clippings will be great! And once your garden starts to grow you will have a continuous amount of leaves from your own garden…Thanks ❤
ROBBIE FASCINATING TEACHING. OH WOW I GOTTA SEND THIS TO EVERYONE. I LOVE YOU ROBBIE. ❤ THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TEACHING US.
You are so welcome, thank you so much 😊❤
I have not been successful with container gardening until I started following your method with this. I have now become quite successful with my plants thriving in the pots.
Wonderful! This is so great to hear, thank you so very much for this message! Happy Gardening ❤😊
It made so much difference to my plant yields too.
When I lived in the south of England, I never had a problem with growing vegetables. Tomatoes and courgettes - just put them in the ground and off they went. As soon as I moved to Scotland, they consistently failed.
Of course, I put the whole problem down to being further north: colder, more rain, more clouds and a lot, lot more wildlife. But it was really beginning to irk me that every year I would get nothing but flowers from my courgettes. I'd given up with the tomatoes already.
Tried Robbie's technique, when it was getting close to the end of our growing season, and it was a total game changer. Not just flowers - but actual courgettes at last, and a good size too.
Another winner! I often wonder which of your videos would be best to start somebody new to this way of gardening, and this isn't the absolute best, but it's right up there.
Come to think of it, maybe it Is the best... It basically has all the info but has evolved and improved with all you've learned and shared along the way.
So I'll bookmark this one and when people ask, I'll show them this one.
For those who are about to join, we salute you!
So, which is the other you were thinking was the best 😊, I should make one just for beginners ❤ a very basic one, but truthfully, gardening is basic. It’s easy to many people make it just way too complicated. 🤨 Thanks ❤
You just took me back to my first time being introduced to science. Words cannot express I feel! WOW thanks for unlocking a part of me that I forgot all about!
Robbie, this might be your best video yet! process and the science behind it. Great experiment!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Growing up my Dad always had a compost cooking! I live in San Francisco, out by the ocean. So it stays cooler & we’ve got the fog! I grow plants but not to eat. I’ll have to give this a go❗️I’ve learned a lot from you, especially the hummingbirds. So thanks for this other side of your passion❣️🕊️
I just filled a free tote today and looking forward to planting my tomatoes in it when the last frost passes. I live in a townhouse so a little worried about odors or critters but excited to see how it turns out. We also drilled a few extra holes for drainage. I used kitchen scraps, tp rolls, leaves, old catfish , and dumped the soil from an old flower pot.
Robbie I really like your idea I have been watching you for years keep up the good work Cecilia loves you.
During the Winter I compost like this in Upstate NY on my back deck - works like a charm!
This was one of your best Robbie because as I'm setting up my pots and totes I'm always wondering what does Robbie put in first, what does Robbie put in the middle, should I layer this in or layer that in - always a hundred questions going through my mind. Now you've shown that it doesn't matter. It'll all work and now I can relax about that. Still wonder if I over or under water though. lol
As long as the water drains out, all should be fine 😊
Thank you so much Robbie. Your enthusiasm had me enthralled during lock down and your vids kept me active in my garden. This video is so inspiring...can't thank you enough xx
You have the most amazing ideas!!! You are truly something special! Continue to do u. ❤ I don't know why u aren't at 1 million subscribers but its coming. 🎉
Thank you so much!!
Amazing!!! That's so quick. Gotta water my compost box tomorrow.
Thank you.
Very inspiring. I checked my compost trash can this week. There were pumpkin sprouts just growing right along.
Oh yes, all the squash family love growing in ‘food matter’ that is raw compost material 😊❤ Thanks
Hello Robbie! I have been watching your videos for over a year now and have incorporated a lot of you ideas into my container garden. This season you have me really making a big effort to make my own soil!! Thank you for all your beautiful information.
This is amazing. You are such an inspiration. Thank you for all you share with everyone.
Oh my, thank you so much ❤and You are so welcome 😊
This definitely was fun to watch. Thank you Robbie 🤗🌱
I love this! On a larger scale you can do it with barrels. I have 11 raised garden beds. last fall I started adding kitchen scraps, coffee grinds, leaves, grass clippings, paper, eggshells and chicken poo to the beds and anything else I could find. I turned, it watered. I turned it, watered it. Now it’s all broke down ready for planting.
I find it amazing that you can put all kinds of green matter and brown matter and other things in your bucket and it will break it all down, but if you put a plant in there to grow, it will not compost the "real" plant! God really planned out this composting stuff pretty good!!!!😊❤
I'm going to get a bin and give composting a try! I appreciate all your creative ideas. 🏆
Wonderful! Thank you 😊
I’ve composted for years and never had these results! I wonder why it takes mine so long? This is amazing!!
Are you adding some soil, and watering it?
I adore watching your videos! I want to start container gardens next year but now I am going to start composting for then 😅. You make me think that I can actually do this! Hubby Is a wood artist and we also have many mature trees, I am excited to start combining kitchen scraps, toilet paper tubes, wood chips, branches and leaves. I
am excited!
Ty so much for this, hubby and I just started our compost piles, thanks for the reminder to water 💦 it 👍🏼🤦🏻♀️😘
Thank you. Your welcome.
This is seriously fascinating. Thank you. Happy Easter
Thank you! 😊❤
Thank you for demonstrating how this works. I've been setting mine up and so excited to get started!
Have fun!
It rains all the time here and I was amazed this spring that scraps from last fall had turned completely to soil. Now I know it's even quicker. We have been nervous to attract rats as they are in the area already, but I have a feeling it really won't change things all that much
You could put wire mesh over the top to keep out rodents.
Robbie, I'll be going through our pantry this afternoon! I'm sure I have old oatmeal, pasta, and other items that I can throw in my totes! I now have 3 for composting! Thanks!
Your welcome.
What a great demonstration ! THANK YOU !!!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much 😊❤
So grateful for you. Keep encouraging people to grow ❤
I hope I can get so many people to garden who haven’t been gardening or thought they couldn’t, thank you so much😊
That's an incredibly clean worm bin in the end 😂😂😂
Yes 😊❤️
You come up with the neatest ideas Robbie. I always wanted to see how the compost break down progresses. Again great idea .your Awesome and full of super beneficial information..love all you do and share with us❤️💪👍
Thanks 👍
Had to stop work in my garden and watch the video 😊
This whole time I thought I was the only one that did that.😂
Oh, thanks so much 😊
I absolutely love your way of gardening.
Thank you so much 😊 Just too easy ❤
Can’t wait to get started on composting. Thanks for the great videos!❤❤❤
You are so welcome! 😊
Thanks for the information about the see through window, in the tote. I will try this out soon as possible
Glad it was helpful! Thanks 😊
I loved this demo! :) You are a genius of mother nature and a fun loving sense of humor makes me a fan of your channel Robbie!
Wow, thank you!
I LOVE composting!! One of my favorite things.
Mine too!
Fun project! I love digging out the bottom of our compost bin. By the way... I ignore the produce labels too. As they get dumped into a bin for planting this time a year, I think oh, look! A worm hotel! 😊
Loved your video. I have 3 compost tumblers.I feed them for a few months and at times let it go down and add some more and let it sit for months.I do stir and add water if needed..I saved 2 bags of leaves and tucked in shed...my compost worked all winter but now that it's getting warmer it should go faster.I dump my kitchen scraps every few days,there's usually paper towel and tp in there too.I love the process!
Robbie, I've learned so much watching your videos! Thank you so much for them!
Robbie you are greenery D’lite! Thank you
I set up 4 tote gardens yesterday alongside my small raised beds. We Shall See!!! I'm not concerned with the late time to start them, I'm just happy to be learning. 😊❤ I'm thrilled to watch your videos, love your channel!!!!
Great Lesson. 🎉❤ Andre from zone 6 thanks
Thanks 😊
Robbie you always share sure great ideas, I dig holes in my garden and bury my kitchen scraps, I have tons of earthworms, and when the ground was frozen I put all my kitchen scraps in a bucket and save it.
Thank you Par.
You're a gem! Thanks for sharing your tactics and enthusiasm...very encouraging! Did you add worms to the bin? I'm not sure how they would find their own way into the raised tote. What was the average temperature (of the air) at that time you did this? I'm in the Midwest, so I might be able to achieve this over the summer, but not in the colder months (I don't think, but maybe). Thanks for the video :)
I think she adds some soil with worms in it.
@@beccagee5905 Thank you, Becca!
I am composting in plant 🪴 containers so far so good
I'm excited about this video , and the follow up videos !!!! Great idea !!!!
Thank you so much 😊❤
Beautiful demonstration, thank you❤
You are so welcome! ❤Thank You
this was very good to see
Thank you 😀
Wow! Fantastic video - this answers a lot of questions. I was surprised how super fast everything broke down. No wonder the soil level in my totes (filled with kitchen scraps and paper) drops down so fast.
Thanks Robbie!.I'm going to try asap!
Have fun!
I love your attitude it’s catching
just wow. this is awesome.
Very very informative video Robbie ❣️
In the beginning I saw videos about compost bins and I made two large pots and compost in there. But I needed that soil immediately for my plants. I was turning and turning the compost bins but they were ready in six months! By that time I spend so much money on compost that I bought and soil too. When I collected the compost that I made in the bins I realized that it was so little. So it wasn't worth it for me to do it this way.... I didn't have the space to have the place to have big compost bins in my balconies or earthworms . So I gave up with the compost project and I had to buy it...
But then I've found your awesome channel ✨ and I've seen how you make it happen!!! So I did the same thing like you're teaching us. I didn't have earthworms but it worked perfectly fine ❤️ It's been from last summer and all my totes and pots has been setting up this way and my plants love it!!! I didn't have any earthworms but everything is turning into beautiful soil and I'm saving so much money! Now that I have plants I can save their leaves....and that circle of life is so natural and productive 🙏 All thanks to you Robbie ❣️ And it's fun too! Putting your scraps, a bit of soil and plant! Soooo easy and fun 👏 cause mother nature is so simple but sooo beautiful 💗
Thank you Robbie for showing us what's going on in our totes! This is a great experiment to understand that compost in place 👏👏👏
Oh wow, this is so beautiful to read! I know you’ve told me how you don’t have earth worms, and it works. Perfect, it’s just so nice to read it again and again.❤and I knew the microbes are good enough, again thank you
I don't know where you live but in Florida you could purchase a small tub of red wigglers or fishing worms from Walmart and distribute them in your totes. If they like the living arrangements they will reproduce and make even more worms.😊😊😊😊😊
@@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy you remember right Robbie ❣️ no earthworms for me but still EVERYTHING turning into rich and beautiful black soil and quick too!!! It works perfectly 🌻
@@shirleyk623 I live in Athens. You can purchase here too earthworms but last year that I've started gardening I didn't have enough money to do it that way...
And this is the reason why I love Robbie's and Gary's channel ❤️cause they are teaching us how to garden cheap, clever, easy and fun. Thank you so much 🤗 🌻
I wish I met you RUclips channel before I made my raised beds
Amazing!
Thank you.
Wow Robbie, You never cease to amaze me as to how very clever you are. Thank You Lady ❤😊😮
Thank you. Your welcome.
I compost banana peels. The soil looks so nice and rich
What a great video so everyone can understand the way composting works!!! Excellent Robbie!!! Thanks again!
Me myself I would avoid bark and wood chunks and branches because those things do not break down as easy and make it tough on seedings. Everything else looked great. Enjoyed the video Thanks.
Dear Robbie and Gary, enjoy your brief respite.
and know that we THANK-YOU for being who you are and doing what you do. You two are more than Champions for the birds, hence, our Heroes: You're truly Angels without Wings!!!!!!!! Stay safe and serene in your love for and service to the Lord as warriors for those precious and vulnerable, stewards of that life-giving and, through Humane example, teachers of the masses regarding how best to tend to our fellow winged sentient beings while healing that ailing the rest of us. We love you.
Bird nests work Really Great, too!
hi robbie 🤗
great video. i use what i have at home to make my own compost soil too.
definitely saves money and i feel better because i know (almost) exactly what's in it. tfs
I'm setting up a compost bin today. Cleaning out my refrigerator. Will that work? I have leaves and things too. This was a great lesson.
Love your energy and passion for these garden projects. You are so creative, practical and fun, and bring happiness to many. Thank you!
Thank you so much! ❤😊
Thank you! That was so smart, easy & free!
You're welcome! Yes free😊thanks
This was so interesting and encouraging!
Question…you said that the worms had gone. Where did they go? How did they get out? How did they get in?
I was wondering where they went too.
Earthworms crawled in at night hence the name “ night crawler”😊
And the worms crawled out the drainage holes in search of food elsewhere. Their job there was done.😊😊😊😊😊
Thanks Arthur and Shirley they answered the question. Earthworms are very mobile.
@@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy Crawled all the way up the table? I mean, maybe one worm crawled up the table and found it’s way in, and out, but I’m doubting more than one. You did put some dirt in. Maybe there were worms in those scoops.
Fascinating!! I've been using a lot of cardboard, too. Thank you!!
This is better than watching a movie I love your videos!
Glad you like them Sunshine!
😆 30 year old coffee?! I love it! ❤️
Another great one, thanks Robbie!
My pleasure!
Thanks Robbie, it's been awhile since I saw one of your videos and this really inspired me again!
Awesome! Thank you!❤
3 weeks! Awesome!
Thank you.
Hi great idea! I have 3 pallet style compost bins and I’ve just harvested 600 litres for my allotment. 👍🏻🤠
Great idea, Robbie.
When I noticed you had plexy glass on the side of that tote, to see the break down of the materials you put in there, I had a flashback to the 70's when I had a Ant farm, but not Ants but good worms.👍
I remember those ant farms, and that’s what made me think about this when I cut my tote up 😊
@@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy I have a good memory, I was 9 years old way back in 1977, I got the farm for my b-day and my dad helped me set it up, putting droplets of water in the farm to condition the white stuff in it and we got the Ants in the mail in a tube like a 2 weeks later.
Than came Etch a sketch and Chia pet 🤣
THANK YOU for showing us the process!
I love everything you do.......what a fascinating brain you have.......this was particularly fabulous!...... thank you so much!
Thank you. You are so welcome.
This is great!
Thank you for sharing this video~🤗
Thank you! Cheers!
I love the way that you did share with great enthusiasm. All your wonderful projects and ideas. You are so talented. Thank you very much I incorporate a lot of what you have taught me. Cheers, Florida.
Thank you for seeing the time breakdown. I have been doing your methods. Last year I bought what I needed, it cost. This is so much better. I need help on setting up my small in ground pond. Would appreciate your help.
You are so welcome!
Love love love this video!!!
Glad you liked it!! Thanks 😊
Thank you so much Robbie 💞💞🥰
You are so welcome
Such an amazing video. Thank you for sharing! Good good stuff 😊
Thanks so much! 😊
Happy Easter friends Robbie and Gary 💪👍 have a wonderful day!!
Thanks so much! Happy Easter!
This was Amazing!
Intersting!
That is so interesting. I'm glad I took the time to hear what you had to say, especially with the fish, eggs and grain products. I do wonder about bringing in rats or larger mamals that we have here.
Do you ever have issues like that??? ~Patty~
Maybe cover with wire mesh.
