I've been composting for years and still figure I could know more about it. I usually go simple. Any carbon that has no chemicals goes in, I have a pail in my kitchen for organic or "green" scraps, we use rice hulls in our poultry coop so that is brown and green. I keep at least two garbage cans full of some cheap potting soil, throw in some sweet potatoes, some food scraps and carbon and throw some worms in. I use whatever worms I can dig up. While the sweet potatoes are growing, the chickens and turkeys jump into the garbage cans and scratch for bugs or just eat some of the leaves. They even mix in a little of their own poo. If they get too aggressive I just put a screen over top to let the greenery grow back. Once the sweet potatoes are grown, I dump out the garbage can onto a tarp and pick out the worms. Some go into the new batch, some go into other compost heaps and some get fed to the poultry. We don't waste much here.
@@ciaranosullivan7791Lawn clippings harvested while green still have the same amount of sugars and proteins even after they have turned brown after harvesting. Brown material is created by the plant dying back and thus "sucking" all of the nutrients out of the leave or stem before the item is harvested. But then, green material is actually live plant parts harvested when still green and full of sugar and proteins. The moisture and green color may disappear after cutting but the nutrients are still there.
Very helpful and enjoyable video. Composting is a bit different here in the high desert of the Colorado Rockies, but the principles are the same. Cheers!
Greetings from Denmark. ❤ Good to see your interest in the biodyn. You should try read Ehrenfried Pfeiffer: fertility of the earth, I sure it's in english too.
any idea what kind of lime did they use? reading conflicting reports of lime usage in compost. intrigued by his idea of efficient use of lime to alkalize gardens. i'm in deep clay so i think calcitic lime (w/o magnesium) is my ticket if i were to use any
I don't follow biodynamic principles myself; but just wanted to point out that the expert doesn't seem to know what biodynamic is properly as his compost heap is most certainly not biodynamic.
@@robert7221 That's OK. I don't think either of us thought you are trying to convert ]what's this guy's name[ to true BD principles. According to Steiner, just like the scientists are doing their experiments with radio waves, their side should begin experimenting with cosmic influences. He came up with some examples that his followers interpreted as as recipes for doing 'the right thing'.
@@theopeterbroers819 Steiner had some weird ideas for sure. However I would much rather eat BD produce than conventional :). Unfortunately both organic and BD demand such a premium that it isn't affordable to many. Thankfully I have a bit of land so I can grow my own. Sadly the science isn't always all that interested in the facts - think the "chicken experiment" in The Netherlands if you've heard of it. Thankfully common sense gets us a long way though - and that's where our BD friends sometimes miss the point I think. I still hugely admire their commitment and passion though.

Great looking orange firefighter suit - suitable when the compost catch fire LOL
Excellent bloke Ken💪
I love to see someone get as excited about compost as me!😅
So much good info - wish I could have heard more of it

Nice video.
Amazing!
Awesome!!
He said use lawn clipping and cow manuer and left out the carbon
I reckon he meant dry lawn clippings

Supporting each other here. Keep it up.

Shit hey, I thought compost was always done in a bin! Haha I know now
its a good show! but if you tell how to prepare, the biodynamic substance which you put at the end that would be good
Yes that part was a little hazy, would be great to know what was being used. The lime is a good tip though!
When it comes to composting: there is no easy way. Its all complicated rocket science..

That was great and entertaining now lets see how we go 😃

Hydrated lime; not allowed under biodynamic principles.
Biodynamics is a scam... Its creator talks about Lucifer ans shit ffs... And you're not allowed to garden during catholic holidays....

Looks good, but unfortunately i have trouble hearing over the music, wish i could turn it off, unfortunate for me, on i go
Where can we get the preparations? Please thank you!
Kill the effin “music”!

Awesome cool thank you much love great work 💙🎶 🖖🌌🌏⛲🌄🥳✌️
Is it okay to grind all the brown and green scraps to expedite the composting process?
❤ this, thank you for sharing. Your goals are similar to mine. Thank you 🙏❤
❤❤
So hard to hear you over that bloody awful music.

Tinha que ter legenda em Português.

you'll going to need to up your game on your Australian accent. i could actually understand what you were talking about. :)
Why that music when you are in nature. Sounds of nature would have been ideal. Wish I could hear you and not worth straining over that horrible noise.
Your music drowns out your voice
