#compost #sustainability #recycle
G'day Everyone, for those who are new to composting please understand it is not "rocket science" because if I can do it believe me anyone can! There are MANY ways to compost. The simplest is a pile of garden waste sitting in the corner of the yard and then you have bins, chicken rings, bays, tumblers, bio-fuel chambers, etc. Some people might think (wrongly) that the plastic lining of these bays will prevent airflow or encourage anaerobic activity of the pile due to a lack of oxygen. This is not true. In fact, too much airflow makes the compost pile take longer to break down. If you have a bay system like the one I show in my video with open fronts and tops there will be plenty enough oxygen or airflow. Think about a common and basic plastic compost bin (my Grandfather used to use one and I still do too) they are effective at making compost and most of them don't even have vents! Anyway, it's the mix of ingredients that mostly dictates how the pile will break down and even if your pile goes slimy and putrid you can correct it by adding more carbon but the truth is if left alone long enough it will still eventually turn into good valuable compost. That's why I keep my piles away from the house because I don't always get the mix right, so sometimes (rarely) it might get a little stinky to begin with - not that I care... The bottom line is, making compost is easy and I encourage everyone to do it and this video was about refurbishing my compost bays with recycled plastic from Plastic Forests to get more longevity out of the structure and demonstrate the versatility of these types of recycled plastic products. So, thanks for your support and "get into it!" Cheers :)
Wish I could have a compost but I have to save every single dollar just so I can get a 1 bedroom apartment and then be in debt for next 20 years
I support your recycling initiative. Hope others will, too. Thanks for getting my son in law more interested in gardening for self sufficiency! 👏🌿👏
I like the "system". I know what I want to build now, around my existing compost pile. I see a potential issue with the plastic. Depends on environment of course, and if you cover all the bins to keep rain out. I think in my area, the plastic would retain too much moisture, causing the pile to become septic, instead of composted. Keeping the rain out would also be important as the nutrients, can be washed away. Most compost setups I have seen(not all), allow some breathing around the pile, and it also helps to stir the pile to avoid hot spots, and make compost instead of rot and tea for the ground.
I imagine you know this. Anyway, knowing my area has a damper environment, and knowing that most compost setups are breathable, I thought when you began the overhaul/upgrade, that you would use landscape fabric! Not solid plastic.
Straight away I was like "Hey great idea, use landscape fabric....." I'm doing that!
Hope the solid plastic works out for you. I am planning to put my three compost sections into my garden. I know...what? Well a section doesn't get much sunlight and has never produced well there. This will make it really easy to put my finished compost into this garden, and the compost is within a fenced in area; keeps some critters out.. I may need to do some extra work killing some bugs, but this is what I have space for. I think I will need lids though for all three sections.
Thank you for the ideas.
🧐🤔💯👌👊👍
Love to see how this goes with so little air. I imagine in some climates it could become anaerobic if you don't keep an eye on it?
Hey Mark! I have 3-4 nests of these every year. It's common here if you have fruit trees ... they come to the sweet fruit (and anually eat a big portion of my grapes). But getting rid of them during the day never works out. A large group is out of the nest and they will find a home (make another nest) nearby. You need to get to them during the night, which gives you 2 advantages: 1. they are all back in the nest are are asleep (it's a miracle to get stung during the night) and 2: you can spray JUST the nest and kill them all - use less spray and pollute less of an area. Use any flashlight with confidence, it's not enough to wake them up. I use a normal lantern or the one from my phone. Then when the nest is down squash it. That will kill all the remaining wasps and eggs/baby-wasps... and makes a gross mess, particularly for large nests - but it will take months for others to gather and rebuild.
Another quick tip for those who don't know , if you Kill the nest , don't knock it down . Wasp don't reuse old nest ,they may be unsightly, but it will keep em from building a new nest in the same area. Love yer videos mate keep em going!
@@dewjerzy5155 That's cool :) - but I can't really imagine how "killing" the nest works without knocking it down. When I sqash them on the groud deep tunneled wasps get out (and die) + the eggs and whatever else is in there. I can also confirm that abandoned nests (of which I have a few) do keep wasps away. But I did not "kill" them, they abandoned them themselves.
They dont react to red light
Thanks for the advice! I never really looked into how to properly eliminate this aggressive wasp. Every other wasp on our property (and there are lots) aren't a problem, but these paper wasps cause issues beyond tolerance. I will tackle them at night from now on... Cheers :)
@@GCaFI spray peppermint oil on them to kill the eggs and larvae
You really deserved that drink of soda water Mark! Great video as always. I just told my wife that your calm, approachable and yet very enthusiastic way of showing how it's done is just one of the many reasons why I think your gardening channel is the best one out there!
Thank you and yes I had a good drink of soda water alright! It's difficult to analyse myself and why my channel is successful (I personally cringe when I watch myself back on video) but I'm glad that you and others enjoy my style and keep supporting my content because I truly love doing it. Cheers :)
Murdering the environment is approachable?
@@Selfsufficientme Are you Russel crowe's cousin? Let's get a Russel Crowe and Mark collab going eh
I thought I was the only one who talks to the birds. The owls and the doves answer but the crows/ravens are brilliant. They started talking to me in owl and dove calls. Brilliant animals. I think they want to be friends and maybe want me to feed them. Very polite crows they don’t take my produce. Was working in the garden and I heard an owl call blended with a mourning dove. Similar to what I do. I looked around think the neighbors were screwing with me. But no two crows were making owl and dove calls. We talked for a while and I left out some buggy strawberries for them.
Corvids like crows and ravens are extremely smart. It's been proven that they can recognize different people's faces and will befriend those who are nice to them and hold grudges against those who terrorize them. They are also very skilled problem solvers and can solve rather complex puzzles to figure out how to get at food, including using tools to get the job done. I daresay if they had hands instead of wings I might be worried about them evolving into the dominant species and taking over the planet!
Parrots are equally intelligent as well, but here in Texas we don't see a lot of wild parrots.
Crows and ravens are insanely intelligent creatures.
Careful. That's how cats started to domesticate humans, eons ago 😂
You can use plantain to help with wasps/bees stings. Or even spider bites. Not the banana plantain but the green leaf plant that you can often find growing in your yard. Chop the leaves and make a paste to put in the area stung. Change it out every half hour to an hour at first then less over time. Plantago major plantago lanceolata. Broad and narrow leaf are both good to use. Also eating the leaf can help and they are just all around good for you.
In Australia?
Just got to the part of the soft plastic mention. You really are such a cool and respectable person. Hopefully I’ll be in your neck of the woods this summer.
I use a super soaker with soapy water when I go on wasp patrol (monthly in the summer). The reach on those toys are remarkable-can get clear up in the barn soffits and it turns a chore into a fun activity. Great video as always-liked the music while you worked!
Thanks Kim! Cheers :)
You're killing pollinators.
@@user-rf2vk8zp2u I worked in a honey bee lab. Paper wasps are not pollinators, they are predatory insects that prey on other insects. I agree it is not good to kill any insect willy-nilly, but if they nest right above where I am living, working and maintaining my property, they need to move on to another location.
@@IowaKim Congratulations on that claim.
However, paper wasps actually do pollinate because they also do eat nectar as part of their diet.
Y'all act like them being in your yard is just a set up for you to be stung. Leave them alone and they'll leave you alone. You don't have to use poison. You can destroy the nest for them to relocate somewhere else with just a stick. If you let the nest get large, that's your laziness.
Did you even watch the video? How this "self sufficient" person is spraying it everywhere, even into his compost. Brilliant, I say, Brilliant.
PS, you need predators in the ecosystem.
@@user-rf2vk8zp2u Apparently you don't live or work on a farm.
The refurbished compost bins look fantastic, excellent job! Glad your finger healed quickly, owweee.
Always love your videos. Lots of info in simple easy bites, plenty of humor and real life work, entertaining and inspiring.
I just love the wild life that you show. its always somthing i had no idea about and would never dreamed was real!
Thanks for the PlasticForest tip, Mark!! 👍
OMG!! I made it! A while back i watched a couple of your videos and i liked them so much i went back to the beginning and watched them all. Whew! Now I'm all caught up. I've bought 4 birdie's beds and I'm ready to get going!
Love your videos. I have been meaning to make this 3 bay system since about 2 years ago when I started watching your videos. I might have access to some chep pallets finally. Now seeing u refurbish it has given me more of a drive to get them.
Just dicovered your channel today and am binging it hard! So happy to have found a great Aussie garden channel.
I'm thinking ten years is a win for those bays and would have maybe just replaced the pallets to gain the next decade. Also Mark, having the base open to the ground is gonna give you faster results because worms and other critters can get in and do the work a lot quicker than just the heat in the pile.
We've hot composted (and cold as well) for a fair few years and the worms just self regulate through the pile to avoid the hottest parts. When the pile starts to cool, the critters move in to the centre anyway after they've been feasting on the outskirts. That allows us to turn the pile in about 2-3 months rather than having to wait a whole year. We have a new hot pile on the go now and will be spreading it before the end of winter.
AND we have no weeds growing up through any of our bays.
For context, we're in Central Vic.
Yes, I agree the worms (hot or cold) will come in and out of the piles as they please. And, it's always good to know some of these worms get transferred into the garden when using the compost. Cheers :)
This is my math school and science for this term at home-schooling 😊
Thank you for helping me Mark.
Nice to see you again, Mark always love your videos. When you were squaking at the bird, I busted out laughing thinking the bird was feeling the same way 😅. I also have a 3 bay compost out of pallets. I line my sides and bottom with cardboard. As the cardboard breaks down, I add it to my compost and line again.
Thanks Teena! I couldn't get the Kookaburra to sing unfortunately but I did my best to try... Cheers :)
Hey last Friday my favorite podcast called Mad at the Internet gave you a shout out! You have fans all over the world that love your content. Keep it up, my dude.
Why do you poison your organic compost with recycled plastic? Which contains for example the hormonactive chemicals BP-A and TBT. In Germany, my grandmother did it different. There has to be gaps on the side for air ventilation. And at the bottom there has to be a connection to the soil underneath, to ensure that the worms and microorganisms can transfer.
I also don't understand why the growing grass is a problem. When you put material on top, it will decompose quickly.
Your three bay system makes no sense. Usually, you remove only the lower part of the compost, because this is the oldest material. Therefore, you need a wall, where you can temporarily remove the lowest wall section.
I always have the urge to get plastics away from my garden and try the transition to eventually not have any part of my garden system come in contact with plastic. Watering cans, garden hoses, seedling trays.... And certainly a 50lb roll of plastic. It's obviously a paid advertisement. I didn't notice him mention anything about avoiding or reducing use of plastics; he just said to buy this "recycled" plastic from a specific company. Talk about a non existent eco-friendly message...
What confused me was spraying the wasp poison in his composting bay. I don't want that on my potatoes or carrots.
Awesome episode Mark. You’re a “blooming” inspiration.
Hey Mark, do you know of any tips for growing Dinosaur Kale, I live in Ireland so its a bit cold but I planted some in the summer last year and there a bit skimpy looking but are 2 feet high. any tips:)
Hey mark I wanted to thank you ,your videos have inspired me to pick up gardening and composting at home this year is my first go at it
I hope the pain from your bite goes away quickly. We just love you! You’re a star!
But with the plastic, your air flow is gone. It's going to promote anaerobic activity. The rule is to have an airspace around a foot and a half of compost, so a three foot span needs it on both sides.
I suppose if you're turning it regularly, it's not too big a deal. But if you get a lot of rain you might have a stinky mucky mess.
Hi Mark. I used plastic pallets instead of wooden ones. Figured they will last a lot longer than I will be around for.
Keep the great ideas coming!!!
Cheers Haydn
Doesnt compost need free air flow around it?
I was thinking the same thing, but then all the store bought compost bins only have vents at the top too. So maybe that is enough airflow?
I just made myself some big compost bins last month just like these but I used some old conveyor belt a mate got from the patties pie factory here in Vic, it works perfect and keeps the pallets dry. I even started lining my raised garden beds now as I make them so they'll last for ever.
ThankYou Mark- Super You're The Best! From EE.UU Miami, FL We See You Here Too 😇😇😇
Mark, you’re killing me here. I haven’t been able to see anything from my favorite Aussie. When are we going to see some more of your gardening antics???👍 let’s get into it.😉🇱🇷
My left ear enjoyed this very much!
Watching your garden tour on trees. Mark you really should get a still. Kaffir lime makes a lovely hydrosol.
I waaant multiple bay compost spaces 😭 in the near future 🙏
I learned that it's good for the heap to touch the actual ground/a thin layer scraped off so like bare ground, for the microbes already being there 👀
You are the reason I want to rearrange my garden like yours
I think you should cap those open wall tops
Stay hydrated whilst you work Mark; that way you won't lose your body's natural salts etc. mate. I am in the middle of shifting compost and soil for the raised beds here and always stop for a slurp or 2 of the h2o and make a bad thing as well ( a smoke) hahaha Great idea on the recycled plastic roll too. :)
Why is the audio in left channel mono?
Must be from u, not the video.
@@SERGIO-cr6uy I shared this problem tho, and my audio system works just fine.
@@dreamingacacia then update the app (if ur on ur phone).
It works OK here, meaning it's not an issue with the video.
I dunno what else to say.
The audio seems to only come from one side unfortunately.
In Australia it comes out of the other side.
Ew no don't complain
@@jessicapacella2937 what?
The next video is than " get 10 more years out of your microphone"
Thats what she said...
I love your videos! Australia looks beautiful and the birds are so cool! Looked like a lot of hard work but it looks great in the end.
We line the inside of our compost pallets with chicken wire for ventilation. We then put down plywood, plastic sheeting or tarps on the ground so the weeds won’t come up.
We get horse manure for free and the farmer loads our pickup truck with their tractor.
Australia has probably the most frightening insects (that includes the famous government), glad you survived it.
Good old thermoplastic so versatile 😁🌱☀️
You can use a snow shovel to scoop stuff and move it much more quickly!
I read somewhere that according to Pete Seeger, 'If it can't be reduced, reused, repaired, rebuilt, refurbished, refinished, resold, recycled or composted, then it should be restricted, redesigned or removed from production.' Mark scores a solid 5 by reducing (not replacing), reusing, refurbishing, recycling (soft plastic and original structure) and composting.
GREAT JOB MARK, I really enjoy watching and learning from your vídeos,I believe in the sandwich compost, one layer of greens and fruits or vegetables and one layer of manure ,repeatedly , if You can add some snails in there they Will reproduce fast and help with the decomposition, it's a suggestion, Best regards
Great compost and the plastic wrap is an ideal wrap that will last a very long time. Good luck to you and keep the wasps away!
Haha, I love the great use of military tactics when dealing with the wasp
Hey Mark,
I use carby cleaner or cheap engine degreaser to kill wasps. It kills them on contact. also the carby cleaner liquid shoots out a 3m jet so you can keep your distance and not get stung.
Thank you I like your organized composting system.
As an American, I can appreciate the subtle way you just double middle-fingered the world! Thank you for that. 😅
Mark always soak your sting area with vinegar asap.No pain very quickly,and no pain next day. We have big problems with these wasps. Bitten on tip of my nose just last week. Vinegar took pain away in minutes.
You got some beautifully "SEASONED" cow poo, that looks "gorgeous"!! Can't wait to see you flip the first bin to the second. God Bless - another GREAT video!
Love your videos. Very knowledgeable! Thank you for sharing.
I love watching your videos. Sometimes the “G’day” is just what I needed to hear. Sorry bout your finger!
From my experience with wasps here is a tip. Get up early before the wasps wake up. Spray then and you won’t get stung. . 😁❤️ love your shows.
Paper wasps have to be one of the nastiest bities around - they're so sneaky too! Of course, there's a few ants that are almost as bad. Ouch! Thanks for the explanation of the 3 bay compost bins. I want to set up something similar but much smaller scale (I'm only on a house block) so it's good to see it in action. I'll have to look for your other vids on tumbling composters to see if that might be better suited for me. Thanks Mark. 👍
Great save on the 10 year old bays!
Those banana's trees compost gonna be a great batch. My local farmers research found that banana by products (anything related to it just name it that is it) are a great fertilizer especially fruit tree as it is high on potasium and decent nitrogen and phospate.
I use old fence palings to make raised beds and I always liine it with plastic stops the rotting out of the timber really well
Great to see you are into compost. Without "beeing" negative I wonder why a self sufficient gardener would use a chemical spray to try to hit flying wasps. I use fake wasp nests from the dollar store and they work well . Also I would have faced the bins so you could back the truck up to empty it if you don't have a loader tractor. Nothing like some good old farm exercise though!
You can use heat to reduce the wasp sting. They do this in the Amazon against all sorts of bites.
Dam waspsss.....ugh. We battle them every year...
Another awesome video. Thank you!
Great Idea Mark I Got Some Of That At My Work We Throw Away All The Time
I love your channel! I wish I could follow a lot of your great advice from these videos, but sadly I live in an apartment and can’t make a heaping mound of compost like I want... or have a large garden like yours. But hey that’s what dreams are for and one day it’ll come true! 🤞
Wish we could get that stuff mark but we can’t.
Even tho we can’t get that stuff, my bay is covered in a type of black plastic used for roofing jobs. So it does the same job even if it not as great a bit for the planet.
Take care mark x
Welldone Brother !
your job is great ❤
Hey mate, just a tip for paper wasps, WD40 will drop them instantly, I've sprayd large nests of them and they just fall off, never been stung 👍
hey brother, there is specific wasp spray, (bunnings sell it) which shoots a powerful DIRECT spray out, highly recommend it. :)
I love your content, thank you very much and your humor is well😂 hilarious!❤
Vinegar to remove the poison quickly from the wasp sting and some aloe afterwards speeds up the healing process significantly. Hope that helps someone.
Mark, your an inspiration! I need to make one. Thx
Hey Mark you should consider covering the top of the pallets so nothing drops in the gaps
Hiya mate! One of the easy ways I’ve seen this done, is with cinderblocks instead of the wood. Last much longer, just need to make sure you are getting some air.
Your bays now look splendid Mark! I bet you do get another 10 years! I will have to incorporate that into my setup. Thank you!
Great info on composting!
Here in South Alabama in the US, we have what we call red wasp. I live close to the Mobile River Delta. I've seen their nest 6inches wide or better on the delta. Scary!
Try to find a used billboard tarp supplier! You can cut it to size, have one that covers the entire base with a solid thick tarp.
Mark you need to rub parsley on the bite or plantain herb ,it rely works.
I loved the moment when you said kookabarra and he looked at you like “yes? That is I”
Great ideas you always have
Hi Mark we always have some pineoclean to put on insect bites it seams to neutralise the poison.
Hi Mark , I love your content , and editing style. Have been thinking I'd like to try out my first time garden and your content has been very helpful and informative , for that I thank you. Was wondering if at all possible , could you maybe make a video on things to look for on your plants that might be signs of stress , thirst, fungus , pests , how you can tell the difference , and possibly go over some fixes for certain instances of deterioration , and maybe go over when you have to call it quits on a given plant .and if there's scenarios when u don't want to mulch or recycle the plant do to whatever caused it's demise affecting other plants in future. Keep up the motivational work man!
Personally, I would have laid down a slab of concrete and used some cinder blocks. You can clad them with timber on the outside to pretty them up.
Mark, I've been battling paper wasps this last weekend down in Sydney. Best thing to drop them is some dawn dish soap mixed in water. A pump spray bottle to get good distance and it works at treat. Can also mix in some liquid permethrin available from Bunnings
I recently found your channel and just wanted to say I have really enjoyed watching and learning from your videos so I can implement your techniques on my own property. Thanks for sharing your knowledge Mark!
You might like a pickup truck unloader for your trailer. I love mine to unload soil amendments fast.
I put mud on stings. It helps.
Félicitations pour vos 2 millions et plus !!!
Blessings +++!!!
I have a Four Bin System, made from Recycled Plastic from Recycled Plastic Soda Bottles.
I’ve had it for 15 years.
And it has never had any issues whatsoever.
I’m happy that you are getting so much from your compost pile.
In their bottle form? or flattened out to line walls?
Dear S Roberts- Nope, They Were in The Form of Boards And Corner Posts.
The bottles were Remelted down, then Re Extruded into the Board Form. The boards being removable and the components were all interchangeable.
PLEASE Don’t Ask Me for the Name of the Company That Made them in Wisconsin, USA 🇺🇸.
Because the company has either closed down due to the pandemic.
The Closest thing I have seen so far that is close to what I have.
Is the product, sold by The Gardeners Supply Company in Vermont, USA.
It’s a Excellent Product and Has been used by me and my friends for the last couple of years.
You might suggest this idea for a new product to The Vita Garden Products Company. They specialize in Vinyl Products made from Recycled Bottles also.
Hope this information helps you out.
@@bruceeustis1047 Oh I mis-read you - I thought a more direct reuse of bottles! I'm in the UK so... different companies.
There is a greenhouse on nearby allotments made entirely from strung together plastic bottles!
Not to be rude and comment on someone’s body but damn those forearms are built along with the rest of him. Reminds me of my grandpa and his family of farmers, farmers are hard working people.
That's outstanding. Well done! You work so hard to keep your home and yard providing for your family. I hope your finger heals completely and no more stings. Thank you so much for sharing this information, and for the time you take in creating these videos. I really appreciate your efforts.
Grab yourself a tin of tea tree spray for the wasp sting, it does a great job of taking the sting out and great for mozzie bites for keeping the itch away. Thanks for your videos, you’re a funny bugger!😂 and very informative.
Hey Mark, I'd love to see a video with yourself and Hoocho two Queenslander plant youtubers would be great!
Good reminder: while I lement our short growing season, at least we dont have to deal with active insects year round lol. All the best
wasps are terriotorial creactures, hang up a brown paperbag or brown balloon near the bays, that will deter the other wasps from nesting near by.
Hi Mark, I hope you're well. I feel like it's been a while since the last video. All the best
I love watching these videos and wishing to live in Australia and garden year round. Not anymore 😅
Hi Mark, can you do a video on how to compost using one of the black tumbler composters? Or tips, they’re ideal for small spaces if they work!
Absolutely love your channel. Ideas, tools, resources, and your accent just makes the info stick in my brain. You’re a huge inspiration to me! I only have good things to say and I only wish good things for you.
Thanks Caleb! All the best mate :)
Hey Mark - you could try to soak your finger in warm, salty water (1 tsp salt to 1 cup water) and then keep the stung area in a 50-50 vinegar-water solution (wet paper towel and secure with band aid).
Thank you Doina! Cheers :)
There’s banana trees behind you caught my attention. There’s a kid on TH-cam is in Colombia and he uses those banana leaves and some of the stocks and shred them up in a leave shredder. and then he proceeds to feed his chickens mulched up. sheep and a couple cows. Just thought I would tell you about that pretty interesting.
