I started composting last fall after seeing one of your videos using a bag by Smart Pots, the big one. I loved it so much that I bought a second bag. It was so much fun to come out in the really cold weather we had in December and feel how warm my compost bags were. The compost they have made was amazing! Thank you for introducing us to this way of composting.
I’ve done my composting with turning it and checking the temperature and it going good. So from this point, I will continue to turn it and add more scraps, leaves and coffee grinds to completely fill it up to the top of container. Thank you ❤
So Cam… I want to continue to do composting for the fall and winter month. Do I continue to do what I did for the summer with the steps you gave? Happy Gardening‼️‼️ ❤️😊
I have one SmartPot 100 gallon almost ready for the Spring Garden. I have a second one I started next week and I saw some heat already starting yeah!! Thanks for all the tips!
Newbie to gardening and excited about getting into it. Thanks for your very helpful videos! I am just beginning my compost pile. Received my sacks yesterday and have already begun adding leaves and clippings. (Also received my first subscription box, so very much looking forward to getting started.)
CaliKim.. I followed your instructions in doing a compost and it came out wonderful. But, I want to start a compost during the fall and winter months, so should I follow the same steps that you showed for the summer crop.
Hi Cami, I would like to continue to compost throughout the fall and winter months. Do I continue to do the steps for the fall and winter months that slay ahead in NW Indiana … Zone 5a
I’m trying to make compost through out the fall/winter months. Do I follow the same steps in this video. Please respond because I really need to know. Happy Gardening 😊🥰
Glad you liked the video, thank you! Pizza Oven is the Alfa One . We love it!!! A friend doesn't use too much anymore so he's letting us 'babysit' until further notice! Thank you, Henry. Kim
Hi Joyce, I will not add more scraps to this Compost Sak, as I want it to break down quickly. I have another Compost Sak that I add scraps to on an ongoing basis, when I collect enough, I'll make another large pile and start the process all over again. Happy composting!
Thank you for this very helpful video! Since the bag doesn’t have any holes on the bottom, earthworms can’t find their way in. Are worms not part of the hot composting method?
Generally no - because the high temps in hot composting would not be good for the worms. Earthworms are more commonly associated with vermicomposting, a different composting method that involves using worms, typically red wigglers, to break down organic waste. I am glad the video was helpful. Thank you so much for watching and subscribing : ) Hope this helps, Annie. CaliKim

So helpful! Will you please keep updating us on the pile so we see how long I takes to look usable? Thanks!

Where did you get those taller bags?
I don't know why composting intimidates me so much but I purchased the smartpot compost sack so hopefully I can get over my fears
Can you add kitchen scraps on a daily basis to the compost bin?
Hi Joyce, I will not add more scraps to this Compost Sak, as I want it to break down quickly. I have another Compost Sak that I add scraps to on an ongoing basis, when I collect enough, I'll make another large pile and start the process all over again. Happy composting!
@@CaliKim29 thank you I appreciate that.

Ignore my ignorance, but could a compost pile actually catch fire? I'm really intrigued!
**Not to scare anyone BTW**
I’m San Diego ca my compost does not get hot what can I do
How is the composting going? Will there be worms because i am also trying in my backyard
Yep, good. The worms seem to 'show up on their own. Let me know....
My compost pile went cold, and I don't know why. I turned it every couple of days.
Please respond.. I need to know. Thank you! Happy Gardening ‼️❤️😊
