Nice contribution. Showed my kids, we are trying to begin a compost pile at my house this coming year. We started gardening last year.

We installed a 4.2kW rooftop wind turbine system that’s worth looking at if anyone is interested. I posted that to look at. So, next we are going to start composting.

jesus this sooooooo complex.

take a lot of and throw it around your garden and your plants will grow like a jem.

I just started my …
I just started my pile 2 weeks ago comprised of the old lawn and various yard clippings and tablescraps. I’ve kept the piles moist and have already turned them 3x in the last 2 weeks. How often should my pile be turned over?

Great vid, thanks for sharing.

My compost tumbler …
My compost tumbler never seems to be warm and never is hot. The bacteria need a certain temp to be active, right? What can you do to get the temperature up?

It shouldn’t …
It shouldn’t because composting is made possible by bacteria. Bacteria can survive in the winter or very cold climates (remember all the winter colds you have had before? lol).

Besides, the center of the compost pile is very warm. Did you see that steam coming out of the compost pile in the video?

It may take longer for things to break down in the winter, but it can still be done with the same techniques.

I have a smaller …
I have a smaller garden and I use a 2 stage VERTICAL composter. It is made from a bought compost bin on top of a home built bottom unit.
It is a few years old now and it takes a lot of the work out of composting. When the compost is half made, you just pull it down into the bottom chamber! No heavy turning! The compost is better and quicker than when I used a one stage bin. Please check it out in the video responses and make one for yourself.

If you have it in a …
If you have it in a bucket, the reason why it is wet is because the water has no where to go! either tip it out and dig it into the soil now and let it dry out of its own accord, or drill/ puncture a few holes in the bottom of your bucket. The only difference between dirt and mud is water! Get that goodness in the ground and grow some vegies!!!!!

what about during …
what about during winter like with the snow and all? does the cold make a difference or if were trying to make a compost pile in a colder place.

im having some trouble with my compost. i recently checked it and it was very much decomopoosed but really really wet like mud so i put in some more dirt and left it and checked it 3 day6s later and it was just like wet dirt. but my real question is how do you make the compost acutally look like the dirt and not mud?

It’s not only a …
It’s not only a southern thing. I am from up-state N.Y. and we composted for years. We grew our own vegetables in our ONE ACRE garden. All the vegetables I had from the age of five to 19yrs was all grown by my family.

Not 100 percent organic but still organic by USDA standards

@HumanistWikitopian …
@HumanistWikitopian, as far as I know, it’s pronounced that way throughout the US. I’m in California [has a dialect, but not Southern -_^] and ‘compost’ rhymes with ‘toast’ here as well. I’ve read that in countries using Commonwealth English, however, ‘compost’ rhymes with ‘lost’.

Shut up.
Shut up.

Is it really ” …
Is it really “organic” if you place say conventional fruits and vegetable waste into pile? Don’t they have some residual pesticides in them? Thus, not necessarily organic???

Used Comfery if you have it to help to generate the heating process, also use urine to water the heap that adds ammonia and thus nitrogen

How Americans …
How Americans pronounce “compost” is highly ammusing to the ears of the rest of the English speaking world.

Is this purely a Southern dialect thing or common throughout the USA?

How long does “compost soup” take to become compost? Thanks for the video.

i used to focus on …
i used to focus on hot compost. but i have learned that a cool compost is better and get better results. two reasons:

1. since it’s cool, you get a greater diversity of microbes, not just the ones that are responsible for the heat. many beneficial microbes in the soil will die in high temperatures.

2. cool compost that is rotting allows worms to enter from the start. worms won’t go near a hot pile of compost.

the disadvantage is that you need to be more patient. i think it’s worth it.

how do you get it steaming?
