- Bury Kitchen Scraps Directly in Garden to make compost right in your garden. This is the most straight forward and easiest way to make compost. Make sure your kitchen scraps include banana peel, produce cuttings, as well as some paper towel or dry material to provide carbon . Also make sure your garden has earth worms. If you do not have earth worms, buy some red wigglers online. Do not plant anything until the organic matter decomposes. Keep the area moist to provide perfect conditions for earth worms. You will surely create worm casting right in your garden.

I’ve been doing this in my garden for years. The soil there is unbelievable. I think you could plant a toothpick and it would grow.
Same here. I planted a nail and now have a crowbar, works a treat.
😁
Just a SILLY QUESTION,,,ARE YOU SELLING THE,,, TOOTH PIC'S. HE HE ONLY A JOKE X

@@e210dall3 🤣🤣🤣nice one
Nice to have someone actually show this process In Detail for people just starting out
Exactly! Most videos scared the heck outta me lol
I noticed u used a plastic bag to gather ur kitchen scraps and then mentioned u need carbon such as paper towels in ur scraps; what I do is save paper bags from things like suger or flour and use those bags to put scraps in and I toss the whole thing in my compost area, works great!
Great idea, i don't use paper bag because sometime i have tomatoes and other scraps with juices and the paper bag get wet and tears from the bottom. I recycle plastic.
Daisy Creek Farms Yeah I have that issue too but there always seems to be some scrap paper that needs recycling so I put that on the bottom of the bag first, either layered or scrunched up....it works great kinda 3 birds with one stone....I was GIDDY when I thought of it 😁
That's great! will try it!! :)
I keep a covered 1 gal. ice cream pail in the kitchen to add all manor of scraps to & when full (or getting rather ripe) will take it out to the garden for burial. Rinse & repeat.
Cin Mor I also do the same thing
We started this last year and include shredded paper as well. Great garden this year. I used to hate junk mail. Now I love it and want more.
I love gardening but may I ask what does shredded paper do? How does that help?
@@marthaz1183 Its made out of cellulose, which is natural fiber, containing ~40% carbon. When it decomposes, its filling soild with carbon, and that balances out the nitrogen coming from green leaves and trimmings.
what about the ink printed on the junk mail???? is that beneficial to the plants and is that safe to consume in ur body?????
@@terrelloverton1701 They say that the shiny magazine papers are bad ones, because of the plastic layer covering them, but the paint is so thin, it will not cause a problem.
😂
my grandparents did this for decades, they had a fabulous garden, and fed friends and family from it
Excellent video! No added information that's not pertinent to the topic (we don't need to know the history of fertilizers like some others like to blah-blah-blah about), no time wasted on showing the viewer unnecessary steps (like cutting up food scraps) and straightforward easy to understand content. Nice presentation, nice looking and nice voice! A+
I live in New England. We have a short growing season compare to warm weather climites. I have a small compost bin which we put all our veg. scraps. At the end of the season before the ground freezes, I dig trenches in the garden and bury most of the mulch and then tarp the top of my garden .In the spring when it is time to plant I pull the tarp off for a week and remix the soil, then plant. I have done this for 2 years now and it seems to really help my garden .I did not know about the napkins and will start to compost that too. Also I'm going to try doing some of my scraps into the garden and follow your directions. Thanks!
I have been doing this for 8 years, and have thousands and thousands of worms all over the garden. My place is a robin paradise! In areas around established fruit trees, don't dig down too much, as it will disturb the roots. Just keep feeding your worms by burying a few bananas and/or baked potatoes. I put old sprouted potatoes in microwave first, and then cool & bury. Don't bury raw potatoes, as you will become potato farmer. I learned this the hard way. I learn everything the hard way!
Very good info
I have several volunteer potato plants this year. 😊
You can throw onion, celery, carrot scraps in a freezer bag to add to slow cooker bone broth.
If I put scraps in the garden, I put it in the center, cut it up with the sharp shovel and water it in after lightly covering with soil. I get a lot of free starts from sprouting avocado, squash, cucumber, tomato seeds, etc.
I also do worm castings but most of my excess food scraps gets blended using a big mouth juicer and feed it to my worms This is a good vid sir along with good advice. Those worms that come up to eat the food scraps are not regular earthworms but are in fact composting worms and are usually called red wigglers. I planted a late tomato this season and trenched the roots and added blended food scraps along with a mostly blended fish remains in the root area. No critters have dug it up thankfully. Plant is looking very good.
I was just wondering about blending the kitchen scraps! thanx
I tried this method last year and the result was amazing, so I will continue doing so.
I live in zone 9b, central Florida. I compost directly in all my raised beds. I garden 365 days a year.
wow! that's amazing!
9b. Me too!!
Wow awesome!!!!
Do you allow the scraps to fully compost or do you plant before the process is complete?
where are you? I am in Island Grove, Alachua County.
I'm so glad to see someone else doing this! I have been doing this for 11 yrs. I go round robin along my flower beds.
Do you do this to containers that have plants in them already with no earthworms?
@@lesliearellano958 I don't do it to my containers as they are too small. But when I moved here, I would stop at the local bait store (I live near a big fishing lake) and buy a box of worms and scatter them about. In a new house, the soil was essentially "dead', now, every time I put a spade into the ground, I almost always pull out at least one worm!
I compost directly on top of soil and never ever water garden and my tomatoes were over 6 feet summer of 2018 Back to Eden works!
Add coffee grounds to accelerate fungus growth and breakdown...it's awesome!
Give me more info
Whoa, so that's why the grounds get a white fungus! Thanks, I was throwing many away before
@@danieloconnor732 I've learned so much in a week from TH-cam, and it's not even gardening season yet and I'm making my own compost
Just be careful around animals/pets as the grounds are poisonous to dogs and who knows what other animals.
Daniel O'Connor u
I feel like it's becoming more and more important for us to all learn these things and get more on the path of being self sustaining
I totally agree, you can get to the point where you barely need to buy anything, you use the seeds from prior crops, make your own compost and collect it from neighbours as well, you can even collect rainwater for watering and make compost tea for extra fertilizer. There is something so empowering and gratifying about making something that feeds you and your family from what other people just throw away and knowing that you are giving to the planet more than you are taking from it.
Yes lots of gm foods, and chemicals on food we eat.
@@chelseaclerke3582 what is compost tea? How do you make it?
Amen to that sister!! 👍👍
Lol u and every girl.
I do this in a pot on my deck and don’t have worms and I have papaya plants growing in there. Today I also found a frog loving life in that pot.
Was trimming my papaya plant today and was so focused on the new leaflettes growing that I almost missed the baby frog chillin under a leaf, hiding from the sun. Too cute
The first time I had papaya fresh in a smoothie...o got an immediate allergic reaction and could drink more than a few sips... Since then I've begun having discomfort from certain melons and bananas, I was fine with B4...it's so strange to me, I've never had any problems with anything really before that day...I wanted to add a superfood to my diet ,now im down some faves... At least I still have all my citrusy fruits..
I was wondering who was making holes in the soil of one of my pots. I watched one day as a toad made it's way up the stairs and buried itself in the soil. I guess that's one way to oxygenate the roots.
Depending on where you live, wild animals will come during the night and dig up your scraps. We had a 400 -500 lb. Black Bear dig up ours so the next day we buried it deeper, and he came back that night and dig till he retrieved it. Unfortunately we can not do it this way. We keep our scraps and browns in a compost bin, locked inside an outdoor shed for now. But if we could, this is the way we wanted to make compost... directly into the garden. So anyone who can, go for it.
Susan, he warned about disease though if you plant there too early , did he mean disease for consumer of plants, the humans, or for the plants themselves? I have no problem at all here, but would you recommend layer..sand then food scrap , then another layer of sand etc... in that case it will be big heap!! because if every day I make a layer of the scrap.. or I just dig and add more in the same layer of the day before scrap.. in that case when to stop to allow the last scrap to be composted.. I always have that doubt! thanks Susan
Let that poor boy eat your scraps 😭😂
@@AlexxWretched yeah! That's what i thought! 😂

Thank you for sharing! May our Heavenly Father bless you and your family.🙏
Burrowing vermin will love this if they are in the area. I didn't have any vermin for years and then one year they found my compost even though it was well-turned. I had to give up sheet mulching and open composting and broke down and bought a few closed compost tumblers.
Our neighbor's heap brought the bears.
I quit doing it after my garden was overrun with hordes of small black ant colonies.
I do this for all of mine, every year the plants I put there get better and better so I’m all for it
Luis Morgan how to avoid insects and pests from entering inside the kitchen scraps and inside the buried scraps?
I dug a compost hole in my back yard last year and it worked out great. This year I got pumpkins from the soil I used from that hole...a lot of pumpkins.
Thank you very much for sharing. I started to do composting last year. My kitchen craps include all vegetable and fruits peels ( as long as they are not cooked with ingredients) and egg shells. I don’t put tissues though, maybe I should. In winter it’s inconvenient to bury with soil but I should make up later this month when temperatures gets higher. It’s fun to ‘ see ‘worms happily working with our garbage and turn them into nutrition for plants. Thanks worms too. Composting is so green, thinking how much it will save the industry garbage process....
Is ok to bury cooked foods also?
You are one person who makes sense. People making fake claims need to be censored.
I believe in this method, it’s very effective but I bury mine a little deeper. I bury it as deep as I can, really, and put a stake or a marker where I buried last so I know where the next digging should take place. Ideally I would do this late summer and fall until cold weather comes. As early as I need it in spring it will be ready to plant.
You may wish to suggest to your followers to mark off the area where you buried scraps with four plastic rulers or to cut out the middle of a cardboard box and leave the rectangular edge of the box over the dirt, (weighted down with a rock, or put rocks down as a border, or twist tie some sticks together to show where you planted. That way, you can leave it and not think about it again, but when you go to plant, you’ll see the rectangular reminder & can check below to make sure it’s all compost now.
Thank you for explaining the paper towels.
Thanks for really clarifying at the end. Really helpful and educational, I feel like nothing can stop me now
I love this video - thank you! We just moved and I'm starting a garden. I'm excited to use all our scraps this way!
Me too, I have never been so excited about garbage! 🤣🤣🤣 Have fun and best of luck, this does work, I was just too lazy to do it before...
Thanks for sharing! I’ve been doing this method since last month. Will take note of your suggestions not to plant while decomposition still going on. Happy gardening
Nice video! This is similar to Bokashi Composting minus the fermentation process. The fermentation process keeps critters away.
Tirth Kapoor I do bokashi compost
Lovely post. I'm new at this and LOVE this idea. I live alone so I don't have a lot of "stuff" for a compost pile. But this looks like the ideal way for me. Thanks so much.
I chuck scraps on my garden all the time. Saves bin space, feeds wild life and does the soil good
Same here 😁🇬🇧
I actually do this all the time, especially in the fall because i dnt always have stuff growing. I cover it up and let nature do the work. i do sometimes plant befor if is full decomposed and i havent had major issues.
It depends on if you have earthworms in your garden and how many. Earthworms eat half their body weight in food a day. So, if you have healthy population of earthworms, they should turn the organic matter into castings in 4 weeks.
Daisy Creek Farms that eating habits sounds like mine
Even if you dont have worms having food for them. Will draw them. And it will moat likely be red wiggler worms ...and not earthworms
:-)
Akasha, red wigglers are just a specie of earth worms. There are many species of earthworms en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eisenia_fetida
Akasha number five,
All the vermiculture people tell you that red wrigglers wont be happy in the garden. I have no idea why this would be, and i have seen a few in my compost bin. They might mean in the open garden? In a worm composter they do eat TONS, composting constantly. OTOH, earthworms are much larger, so "eating half their weight" might mean they're on par in the compost bin. Just food for thought.
Some old timer told me they used to do this especially where you want to plant pole beans in the future. Works well for them since they are heavy feeders.
I do this and have had healthy, tall sunflowers growing nearby without any upkeep for several years. The rest of the yard has trouble growing anything.
Lol I didn’t realize I had already watched this😂 I move my compost occasionally to help my whole yard. Should probably do it in a bin & use a tool to spread it around
A couple of times/ places I have been able to use about a 3'x3' area in which to do frequent veggie pitting in the same area. Effectively, i was able to create an in-the-ground worm bin and worm nursery. When I do this, I periodically dig a hole elsewhere and dump a shovels worth of worm ladden soil from the concentrated veggie pit area into the hole. Then I take the dirt dug to make the hole and put it in the concentrated, veggie pitting area. Or, every so often I add some fresh soil from around the yard on top of my concentrated veggie pitting area.
Ive done this for a few years now and my garden soil has went from a normal brown to looking essentially black it’s so full of nutrients everything I grow in it thrives like crazy compared to the other garden section I haven’t done this at yield is far more with using scraps as fertilizer. We bury scraps or toss em on top all winter long and they just turn to soil .
Hey, after composting, u grow the plants directly on top of that area or u share the compost with other areas? Thanks a lot
@@emmynguyen1693 i just grow directly ontop of the area i composted my scraps in. its full of worms by the time spring comes like alot of worms which is awesome means its full of worm poop which is exactly what the plants crave. we stop "scrap composting" where we are gonna grow about 5-6 weeks to ensure its all broken down by the natural life in soil. went from hard clay soil to rich dark black fluffy well draining but keeps moist soil for the cost of what i would throw in the garbage! chemical free nutrient rich soil! doesnt get better.
@@emmynguyen1693 also make sure to look up what you can and cant compost meats are a nono just incase you arent familiar with composting
Dude, you're a wholesome kind of handsome. Keep up the good work. I like your straightforward narrative style.
If this guy doesn’t blink I’m gonna lose it.

@@youreawesome1251
"Scientists have shown that the average person blinks 15-20 times per minute. That's up to 1,200 times per hour and a whopping 28,800 times in a day-much more often than we need to keep our eyeballs lubricated."
I can't garden like I used to, as I'm 71 and not able to walk or do what I used to. I use 5 gal buckets on my porch. I've begun experimenting with a separate bucket that I have kitchen waste and soil in. Not sure it will work, but it might. If it doesn't ... back to the drawing board. Thank you for your video Jag!
Thank you, informative. I have a compost pile for my kitchen scraps; I save cardboard boxes for bottom lining the garden, but never thought of adding paper towels or brown paper bags maybe even toilet paper & paper towel tubes to my compost...what a great recycling tip!
Great stuff!! I'm gonna start doing this in my raised beds.
I use a two-gallon milk jug with a hole cut in the top around the spout for depositing kitchen scraps into.
What happens is that after a year I got
Avocado trees
Lemon trees
Garlic
And tangerines for free
What climate do you live in?
I compost and i end up with plants growing out which i transplant....and i got worms galour: )
saaaaaame here
did you take them from someone elses garden?
I do throw them in my compost area! The red wifglers love the feast! I throw them in the garden and a very bad planting area right now to build soil! I learned my lesson thanks to people like you!
We do this for 10 years. Very useful for the soil
This works great. I've done it for years in my raised beds.
Great video and tips bro!! I'm starting this practice it recently and different spots. And hey viewers!! He does blink regularly around 4:04 in video timeline.
I tried this as it appears to be a sound solution. I discovered that anything that could grow, seeds in vegetables, potatoes, onions etc. love being placed in garden soil and respond as you would expect. The second problem is in southern Utah and Idaho, we rarely see worms even though we add them to the soil on occasion.
Could the lack of worms have something to do with the levels of acidity in the earth possibly caused by stuff like the make up of the ground underneath/ any below ground water tables that may be making the earth change its acidity/alkalinity ? Not a scientist, just have a little bit more than a passing interest in the world around us the older I get, especially how things that we may not consider can have an impact on the water we drink, food we eat based on what is absorbed at point of creation if that makes sense lol
@@friktionrc If we had triple the amount of rain over quite a ling period if time our soil in Idaho would become more acidic but it would take much longer to affect the caliche.
... coffee grounds are a great addition to the compost heap as well as eggshells. Also you can crush them up into a sealable container of water like an empty bleach bottle or glass bottle and use this to water plants. Just be aware that it will smell at first so keep it sealed up until you use it then refill with more water and eggshells.
Great method for adding amazing nutrients to your garden! The worms in the video are actually composting worms, most likely red wigglers. And not actually earthworms. Red wigglers are composters whereas earthworms eat dirt/soil. All that amazing "black gold" is from the red wiggler composting worms. Well done!
Do you think this method will work in the winter? Does low temperatures affect or stop the decomposition process?
Your videos are always so interesting, love watching them!
Trench composting. When I lived in Louisiana it tried it for my potato rows. It worked great 👍 . Make sure to plant 5-8 weeks after green waste compost is put into the ground.
I was given a worm factory 360 and it has been the coolest thing ever. I bought some night crawlers at Walmart and I’ve added too it when I dig and find them. It’s worth the investment; Stays indoors and if done right, has no smell
Those eyes got me hypnotized.. Yes I will do anything you say..
LOL!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 He IS cute!
He doesn't blink. Just doesn't blink. So now I don't blink while watching and my eyes are drying up. Stop staring into my soul!
I bury the kitchen scrap in my garden yard and the results are amazing. My plans are blooming!
Thank you! I was wondering where I could put a compost pile and now I know I can put it in a corner of my fenced garden which I'm not using. When it's decomposed thoroughly I'll mix it in with the soil around my vegetables and continue using the spot for more compost.
thanks a lot for teaching ussir ' it helps me a lot in my garden :)
I throw my scraps into a blender, add water, blend and pour directly into my garden. No scraps to attract rodents
Good idea!👍🏻
That’s a good idea. I could do that for my vermicomposting
feed My Sheep What is included in your scraps? Paper towels as well?
This will still attract worms.
@@matheya good
I never buried it in a bag.i just threw the scraps in the garden.did amazing job in helping the crops
I also have been using the blender method for years. I ad vermiculite and a little chicken manure and love how fast the compost develops.
This man is so handsome.
You may be right but there is something freaky in the way he looks at you
I need to move to Florida I would love that. I live n north Carolina and obviously it gets super cold here.

He's Indian though ;)
Very informative and easy to follow.. I am just starting out and planning on making a vegetable garden once we move to our new house! I am excited to try out your tips.. thank you!
My grandmother cut the top out of her gallon milk jug and used that for her scraps then she’d throw them into her garden and hoe them in. She always grew the most amazing garden and flowers.
If I may add some advice: to aid in this process, cut the scraps into smaller pieces; I used to use an old blender to assist with that.
People pay to get worms shipped to them now? What a world, what a century. Great video.
@Iceman, I live in the desert and don't have worms, it's a volcanic decomposed granite area.
I have been adding kitchen scrap to the pots in my terrace, i have observed that though you add once in a week to each pot they need more, some extra vermicompost has to be added.
Thank you for this. I'm just starting out as a vegies gardener but space is limited and I'm sick of the stench from kitchen scraps. I think I'll do this for 6 months and hopefully have a eat able garden within the year
I have been doing this for three years. I keep a 3 gallon pail with a tight lid in my kitchen. When it is full of scraps, I take it to one of my raised beds and dig a one cubic foot hole. I add dried leaves and the kitchen scraps. I compost at least 6 inches deep so that the local squirrels don't dig it up. I keep a chart on my computer so that I don't accidentally compost in a spot that I have recently used. I drink a lot of coffee, so a lot of coffee grounds end up in my compost. I'm told that earthworms, unfortunately, don't like coffee grounds, and sadly, it seems to be true. Every trace of the compost disappears amazingly fast, except the occasional mango seed. I enjoy the occasional mango, avocado, or papaya tree that sprouts from my compost voluntarily. Of course, these only last until the first winter freeze.
A self-taught gardener digs holes 6 inches - 1 foot deep depending on what he will plant in that hole. For the deeper holes, he layers vegetable scraps with soil and repeats until the dirt in the hole is ground level.
He then inserts a 2-3 foot stick, easily visible from many feet away, so he can see where the compost holes are: his garden yields plenty. His soil is a rich, dark brown/black color. He is retired and has the time to learn the ups and downs of gardening.
We have a compost here in Maine (USA) that is about 5x4 feet. I have added compost worms twice over the last 10-years. I compost everything, excluding meats and cheese. All coffee and tea grounds go in, but I do not compost paper products--which get recycled separately here. My compost makes amazing fertilizer which I use throughout our garden.
1:37 he very quickly blinks
I think you are missing one component, (RE: your compost in place), and that is "wood chips" because the wood chips retain moisture and also break down over time.
Thank you for the lovely clip and easy to follow information on your channel. No long boring bits to confuse a person. So happy I found this channel. 😀😀🌱
Excellent video.. I also do this ..every three or four days I dig … I try to crush the waste with a stick so it’s easier to decompose
Interesting point about in-garden decomposition creating an anaerobic condition that will kill plants. I would think in moderation (ie keep it spread very thin, not concentrated like a dumping), you can avoid an anaerobic condition. The bigger problem of trying to spread it out is you'd be disturbing soil everywhere if you go digging all over, sort of the opposite of no-till. And healthy soil science is showing soil disturbance is detrimental to microbial life. If you use a mulch on your soil (shouldn't everyone?) you can bury the scraps under the mulch and atop the soil, thereby keeping it moist, and the worms and microfauna will still tear it up anyway. After all, that's how litter (leaves) get cycled into the soil in nature.
I add all my kitchen scraps to my raised beds every week. I cover them with a layer of compost, cow manure or wood chips. I live in a small city and have no issues with critters. I grow food year round in central Florida.

From India, Telangana. Without sweating in garden, farm, without hard work we can't grow anything is learned, pest control management is being very tough, by organic methods.
Thanks for the tips! I have only been putting in vegetable scraps in the garden compost. I will start putting in paper scraps too! Thank you!

I bury all my kitchen scraps all around my garden & they do miracles for the plants, making them super healthy and disease-free. Bury a little at a time when in close proximity to the roots.
I would not advise this if wild animals are common in your area, especially bears.

If you blend the scraps, this is not an issue anymore :-)
Thank you very much. I didn't realize how easy this approach to converting kitchen scraps can be.

You just taught me something because I am about to make a garden full of veggies. Thanks.
One word. Bukashi. It will change your life. Many blessings
I think that composting is better because it reaches a high temperature which kills off many pathogens. Send point: don't put paper in your garden or compost because it has a lot of terrible chemicals in it, including urea formaldehyde resins (UF-resins) and melamine formaldehyde resins. You don't want them in the ground where you are growing food. Also, if you think you are growing an organic garden but put scraps or compost in that is not organic--neither is your garden.
13c11a - I am a farmer and have composted paper for 30 years! I had an organic farm but refused to pay the blackmail "fee" for certification. Much of it is a crock. Once certified your chances of being checked are almost nil. There are "organic" pesticides, "organic" fertilizers and all sorts of "organic" products that are - how to say it nicely - "iffy" at best. Many "organic" chemicals in pesticides are deadlier than the "chemical" pesticides. I use quotes because extracting the "organic" parts is a chemical process.
Wow.

Thanks for sharing! The most simple composting idea ever! I know nothing about composting, but I do now!!
Now this is a great vid for beginners or urban gardening. THANK YOU!!
A busy kitchen will quicky consume all the growing space in your garden. Pests from slugs to mammals are also attracted to this type of composting. Plant diseases can be spread this way. This plan has some significant flaws proper composting can avoid.
I have made my garden larger and we have clay soil here in the Pacifiv NW.
I dig a deeper area about 1'.6" deep and 3'x3'.
I cut up the banana peels, corn husks & toilet paper rolls, it makes the compost decompose much faster. I cover with hay & straw from the chicken chics pen. I then top with a thin layer of compost to help it work faster. Water it, cover it with soil. I planted beets on top of the 3'x 3' square, and they are doing great, the straw really helps loosen the clay soil so the can grow and its deep enough, it doesn't cause a problem.
Nice video. I just started throwing peels just three days ago in a pot full of soil. I will wait about a month. Thank you.
Paper towels? I would be afraid that chemicals used in the processing would contaminate the soil. I would rather use leaves for brown material.
yes please see my new comment below ... same thoughts.
