thanks for the info. We have a composter now and plan to start using it
this spring. I have never seen one in use, other than watching videos
online so we are excited to be starting our own.
Yes a compost pile must be a balanced mix of dry and wet stuff – when I cut
my lawn I put the clippings in a sunny spot in my garden and let the grass
dry out before putting it in my composter. This is my basic dry stuff, then
I put in the wet kitchen scraps. Three weeks later I have compost!

I work in a resturant and get all the scraps I need. Dozens of egg shells
that I rince the stick in the oven for a few minutes place in a paper sick
and crush them. Also I can get all the coffee grounds and tea bags. On my
2nd batch of compost I beleave it will take longer because of winter coming

This guy’s voice is odd….. And the way this compost pile is going its to
complicated. just dump what you have in the pile as you get it. stir it up
now and then, and add a can of beer.
I have found this tool to be equally as necessary as compost for my garden.
It kills weeds very efficiently and requires no bending over –

Shredding the wast will accelerate the process. Peeing , yes urinating on
the heap will act like a catalyst. Keep the contents turned over weekly if
poss. cover the top Use rough fibrous materials as well to keep the pile
from clogging. Ask neighbours to give their cut grass veg peeling as well.
No garden is complete without a compost pile! Compost is a soil
conditioner, mulch and fertilizer all wrapped into one. It feeds the soil
microorganisms that help plants stay healthy, adds nutrients to the soil,
and helps clay soil drain better and sandy soil retain water

lawn clippings are also a good insulator like straw and can be used to
protect from frost in early spring and late fall.
That was very informitive and great info. I didn’t know you could go to the
garbage garage and ask them about composters. Around here, if anyone has a
composter, they are mostly homemade ones. I did notice that most of them
have ventilation, but I didn’t know that it aided in having better
composting and helped to reduce the smell. I didn’t know either that you
should layer the wet compost, dry compost, etc. Thanks for posting. It was
great. :+)

Nice video on composting. I am showing this to the kids as we are planning
a compost bin, or maybe just a pile for next year to use in the garden and
flower beds I’m growing.
