- Every gardener knows that composting is the best way to improve the soil in your garden turn your garden waste into food for next years plants, better than anything you can buy in the shops. But not all gardeners have the space to make a compost bin and sometimes they are not even allowed to, with some local municipality laws, etc. "Trench composting eliminates all those problems and it provides food right where your plants need it, at their roots. Join me as I show you how easy it is and you'll wonder why you haven't been doing it for years!

Very helpful! I’m totally going to do this before my gardens freeze!

Great video, subscribed!. I'd love to see a time lapse video where you show us the trench composting along with your results.

How long does it take?
@@thejasn6209 I dug in some kitchen scraps and some bug-eaten apples in the fall, and by spring when I dug holes for planting there were only earthworms.
@@TheOptimisticGardener , is there an updated video how the beans grow in their respective beds, with and without the compost?
Can this be done all throughout winter? I have just installed two raised beds and want to fill them with soil and do this method! Thanks for the videos! Ciao from italia!
Valerie Rosel hi, as long as you can dig the ground, you can do it all winter no worries😀 good luck!
The oldest technic of composting always have is place ! I do tranche composting mainly to feed my garden worms . They are fat and health as the plants .
Imperial Dominant Superior Slug a good fat worm is always a good sign
i guess Im quite off topic but do anybody know of a good place to stream new tv shows online ?
@Noel Enoch Try Flixzone. You can find it on google =)
@Gianni Marco Definitely, I have been using FlixZone for since april myself :D
@Gianni Marco thank you, signed up and it seems like a nice service :D Appreciate it !
It's a really good idea, and I'd like to try it, but I'm worried about critters digging it all up. What is your experience?
So, I haven't had any problem so far when I have done it. I live in a pretty rural area (I had a bear in my bins the other week!)
I have raised beds as well, can the trench be down the middle of the bed? both sides?
Yes it can be anywhere you want. I have put it where it is because I am going to plant beans along that line. You can dig a series of trenches, where you are likely to plant your veg /flowers and fill them out throughout the autumn/winter.
