- I swear, this is not click bait! It's true, you don't need perfect compost.
In this short video, I go over the reasons why you don't actually need to wait for perfect compost. I don't wait, and you don't need to either.
This doesn't mean you don't want to compost at all, nor does it mean that it's wrong to wait for perfect compost. I just go over the reasoning why it's your choice if you want to wait for perfect compost, or if you don't.

Nuwe Blare Homestead is a homestead in the Arizona desert. We (try to) grow our own food with our desert garden, we raise chickens and ducks for eggs, and we build the things we need. Homesteading in the harsh Arizona climate is not easy, but we are learning how to use the resources we have at hand to accomplish our goals. We're a South African-American family, so we occasionally share recipes for South African dishes.

You encourage folks to be better at gardening...love it!
Thank you, I try :-)
I know my compost doesn't get hot enough to kill seeds so surprises come up.
It's usually pretty easy to get it hot enough. You need enough nitrogen in your compost, and then you turn it every 2 to 3 days. If it's anything less than almost to hot to touch, it's not hot enough. If turning it doesn't help to heat it up, add more nitrogen (any manure, green plants, etc).
I have yet to start composting
It's never too late to start! And it's a cheap source of nutrients for your plants.
