And that's why I always slash everything with a mower before I put it in the big bin.😁 That's some great info there mate. We are heading into Summer here in Australia and everything growing like crazy. Cheers!
🤭🤭 are you stuck in the compost bin. I don’t know if you have mentioned it but is the new house further or closer to the allotment. Have n awesome weekend and hope moving goes/went well, Ali 🥶🥶🇨🇦
😂😂 Hey Ali, the allotment site is the same distance just the other direction, however there is another site that's even closer. As I run the site I'm on at the moment I'm slightly torn on what to do 😂 guess it will all work itself out.
Many thanks for coming on the live last night, turned my compost today, thought while doing it, I must sort out some sort of front for, so I can fill it properly. Hope the house move goes smoothly.
not worth it. one minute they're singing praises of compost, without any recent scientific data to show that it does all those things, then next minute it's compost troubleshooting, and sucking you in each time more to commit more and more time doing compost, rather than growing crops. if your municipal green waste can handle most of your green waste from garden, it's a more sane and efficient way to grow veggies. time is not free and neither is all that effort put into composting, which creeps up and up. having gotten rid of huge compost bays that i had for over a decade, i couldnt be happier. now i just grow veggies, instead of pretending to feed microbes and saving the planet nonsense. almost all compost ends up as atmospheric carbon dioxide, about 95+% of it by weight/volume.
Thanks for your detailed comment, I guess its about what works for the induvial and how they enjoy their gardening what matters most. As the seasons pass us by we refine easy easier ways to manage the plot. Ill spend 30 minutes every few months on my compost, and spend hours on prepping the beds with rotten manure that ill get from a field far away. This is as much for health reasons as soil health. as we age we loose muscle mass so finding heavy jobs to keep those type 2 muscle fibres active is a part of my daily mantra. 🙏🌱
@ : yep, context matters. compost is oversold though, that it will fix anything and everything, and that it's somehow the one and only true way of looking after soil fertility. it's a way of using green waste, but demands time, money, and effort. i had a shredder and had to regularly shred, and it's not that easy if you want finished compost on time between crops. if you have fallow period because of cold climate, might be ok. in any case, most ancient farming civilizations were not using compost for soil fertility. high amounts of dead organic matter in soil can be problematic. mushrooms love that stuff but veggies were not designed to grow in dead organic matter. there's too much hype about compost, with all the pseudo-science that it's the right way and only way. new veggie gardeners get sucked in.

Hope your house move goes OK. Thank you for the enthusiastic videos

Using a shredder/chipper would be a good idea.
Great idea, and perfect for large gardens. 👌👍🌱
