What a great start to your garden adventures!!! I am on year two of gardening and we’ve had a lot of wind damage to our farm this spring and cooler weather - so going a lot inslower than anticipated… but like you I’m sticking with it and pushing on!
That's so great! I try to sneak up on my tomato plants (what must the neighbors think!) when I go hunting the pests because they really can tell when I'm approaching and they try to hide on ther opposite side of stems or undersides of leaves!
You could use all those plastic bags that the bread came in by hooking it into rugs or mats. My mother used to do that with recycled grocery bags & give the mats to homeless to sleep on, so they were not sleeping on the ground.
I remember being deeply anxious the first time I fed my baby compost pile what seemed, to my inexperienced eye, like "too much" unused pancake mix and dry flour and so on. I was convinced that the leavening ingredients would kill everything. Since then I've composted entire chicken carcasses, cooked and raw animal bones up to size deer shoulder, fabric scraps, box upon box upon box of old paperwork, tubs of cooking grease, and everything else that I judged to contain neither plastic nor metal. The only thing I have ever found that doesn't compost is a cereal box with a glossy/waxy coating. And the more "forbidden" compost items I added, the more vigorous the pile became. Turned landfill fodder into a fragrantly steaming mountain of sweet, earthy compost, every time.

I want a live stream on the pile of the bread. I want to see what gets to it first if you leave it uncovered... Birds? Bigfoot? Deer? Squirrels? I want to see the little predator ecosystem develop around this monster pile of bread too. Cats maybe? would be very interesting.
If I did this in my backyard, the fellas I'll meet the time they cooled down are a bunch of scorpions, centipedes, and probably some healthy, fat and happy cobras. 😅 At least there's no rats/mice, eh?
It hurts my heart to waste food. After all possibilities are exhausted composting is the best thing ever to deal with food waste. I hardly have anything for the landfill these days. Today I'm even collecting a compost bin for hot composting. So on top of bokashi, my cold heap I now have a third option. You have the right attitude. I salute you.
I took your advice last season and just started throwing stuff in a pile to watch it decompose. I now have 3 really sharp looking pallet bins and more compost than I can use (but I will). Gathering lawn bags on garbage day is my urban compost fuel source as well as gas station coffee grounds. Your carefree compost attitude was infectious, first it got me and then I infected several others with composting...
@@hughbrackett343 I've been picking up lawn bags for 5-6 weeks of 4 diffrent neighborhoods lol. I don't do anything just a little bit....all in, always.
@@nancylourose yes I am. I don't grab grass and if I do I check of the lawn is weedy or not. I mainly pick up spring clean-up materials like brush, old mulch, leafs, pine needles, dead perennials/ornamental grasses etc...
When I worked nights at a pizza place, I used to take all the leftover dough at the end of the night instead of throwing it away. I'd put it in the center of a compost pile and cover it up. With all that active yeast in there, it got super hot, no matter how small the pile was. It attracted flies, but that's about it as far as pests go.
Classic DTG content reminding me of why I love watching this channel after all these years and that the zombies not composting everything like David and me are lunatics Man This is GOLD
Right! He is always fresh like that bread once was.. bet it smelled great coming out of the oven not knowing it was destined for a compost pile. But better than suffocation in a bag in a dumpster.
I swear every time I see a video of yours pop up in my feed ... I hurry up and click on it. .... U r freaking hilarious 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💃🏾🤣 thank you
I am just a sinner, saved by grace. All glory to Our Father! Also, thank you for appreciating my montage. I was laughing out loud at how stupid it was.
I watched one of your videos last year and started a compost pile where I want to plant part of my garden next year. I'm excited by the process. I also have a worm farm and love using red wigglers for composting as well as using the worm castings and worm tea. :) Just wanted to say, "Thanks for all the information and enthusiasm."
Wish i had some of those plastic bags! We reuse ours for our homemade bread and to cover my seedlings and all kinds of stuff before tossing them into the land fill.😊 Our Pigs, Turkeys, and chickens love bread!
I didnt even know "you aren't supposed to compost bread" was a thing, I've always just chucked any moldy slices straight in (though obviously not in the amounts you did here🙄) without any problems. BTW, if you ever find yourself with another surplus of bread, you could also try dehyrating some into bread crumbs and/or cubes (cubes are perfect for homemade stuffing or croutons). Way better tasting than the processed versions you can buy at the store, and a lot healthier too!
I composted a rat (that died of natural causes) six weeks ago in the center of a no-turn compost pile. When I harvested the compost pile last week the rat had completely disappeared. I don't know how big the bones are, but I couldn't find any when I did a coarse 1" screening of the compost for temporary storage.
I even compost hair. We have two large Huskie dogs so the hair shedding this time of year is almost as big as your bread pile! Not really but it's a lot of hair. Thanks . I never thought to compost bread.
Our church had a similar experience last year with a huge load of bread for our food pantry. It didn't get grabbed so I had to compost it. I thought it did well in the compost pile
My dog would do the swan dive right into that! Bread is her all time favorite. On the other hand now I have a use for all the bread I find dumpster diving. Just need to put a fence around the pile!
I met a guy who got truckloads and fed pigs. He made good money until the state made it illegal. He bought a plastic extruder to sell the recycled plastic from the bags and made money on that too.
I wonder if koji mold could help you break down that bread so that it's easier to use in your garden. It's a mold that's mostly used in Japanese food to break down starches into simple sugars and proteins into amino acids. It's what they use to convert rice starches into fermentable sugars for sake. Could be real useful for breaking down all the carbs in that bread and allowing the soil to absorb it faster.
The worms in my backyard compost love baked goods! It’s sad how much food is thrown away. Very creative demo of how to recycle it back into the system! Making a mess is fun! 🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🍞
occasionally i dumpster dive for bread and stuff for our pigs. But these days i got a nice connection for discarded ugly none store worthy potatoes delivered straight to the door for cheap.
I dig holes and toss bag fulls of stuff like egg shells coffee grounds, juicing pulps old produce etc. peels etc. straight into the garden areas before the gardens go in I dig a deep hole and cover.
I drove a garbage truck for 7 years. It’s unbelievable the amount of things that could be used gets buried. We built a mountain of trash. The highest elevation in Washington county PA is now Arden landfill.
4:25 the kids later talking together about dad Dads gone crazy with all this bread . Eldest kid Gone crazy? Love you brother Hard work makes God smile 😊
Very great without you and perma pastures farm I may wouldn‘t consider to compost nearly everything. A friend told me he isn’t even composting ecological banana peels. I told him to put it between a plant pot and earth after 2-3weeks insects will eat it up. So there are even different ways if you don‘t have enough materials to make a big pile. Or then make a small pile I guess.
I think it would be really cool to see some lab analysis of some forbidden composts, and from your garden soil. I know of some people who would probably say all sorts of things about your methods. I would like to see what microbes are present, especially once the compost has been incorporated into the soil, where it actually makes a difference. I have a feeling that a well established garden soil will overpower the anaerobes pretty quickly once it's mixed into the soil.
I use a dripping hose to wet compost for a few days or more. It does a great job and the water soaks through the heap. Usually remove the dripping hose if water starts pooling around the pile. A slow drip is best.
There's no reason why I sat through that whole video other than pure entertainment value... I wonder if the pile is gonna be turned... Composting Your Enemies is such a good catch phrase....
Reminds me of the restaurant in the South with "throwed rolls" seeing the slices fly by. The server says "throwed rolls!" and you catch them if you can🎉
I tried to compost a loaf of Great Harvest bread in my yard waste can and it didn't break down. It was still intact 6 weeks later despite being buried by food scraps and yard detrius. It may have been because of the salt content. The reason I chucked it was because it tasted salty, which means it must have had a ton considering bread normally has a decent amount of salt to begin with.
As you layer the composed pile you can layer crushed up Charcoal which will keep down the smell and make Much better compost. You can actually Use Royal Oaks charcoal.
Just found your page because I’m starting an indoor hydroponic herb garden. I have a garden bed in the back and wanted to know what to do and how to and your page has been the best thing since sliced bread. Central florida resident and wanted to know what works saw a couple videos and now a fan! Guess I’ll start a compost pile as well. Thanks for the info!
I don't know who needs to hear this but, you've done enough research. Just listen to David and start throwing stuff into a pile. He's right, you'll learn more and you'll learn faster by making a pile than you will from watching one more video. You can do this. I knew nothing about compost last season but then I came across "compost everything" and I realized that I didn't need to build any bins (I have since), I didn't need anything other than what my yard was already full of. Just go do it! Pile stuff up and hit it with that water hose already...🤘😎
Gramma put all the bread in paper grocery bags to dry, they would grate it down, add salt and pepper, garlic powder, parsley, and use it for breadcrumbs, and store in fridge or freezer. Some she would add parmasagn sprinkle. Great for porkchop breading, chick, casseroles, etc
You need some Italian and French Bread baseball bats mixed in. I also get bread from my local market, after charities have taken what they would like. Fortunately i get these bread baseball bats that become hard as a rock in about 2 to 3 days. I mix those loaves in with the bagged breads, removed from bag of course, into a barrel for storage. The dried breads suck the moisture out of the other bread creating bread moisture harmony. This is yeast science 101. Been wondering about composting it as well.
When I'm in a bad mood, I turn on one of your videos. I haven't laughed this much since watching the Three Stooges as a kid (not that you're a stooge, or anything; your info is far too valuable!) After watching this, I had to buy your book. Thanks
Loved the psychedelic bread kaleidoscope. Enjoyed seeing the kids toys pressed into service. Thanks for acknowledging there are several ways of learning: visual, auditory etc.
Came in part way threough the premier, so now need to watch the beginning. Better dumped in your compost than landfill. Thanks for a few more ideas on sources for compost greens
Could one also compost non ecological bread? Has bread like this much pestizides in it? I mean it‘s the inside of the grain which hasn’t been sprayed directly..🧐like coffee grounds for example they needed to be peeled.
Better let life break it down than landfills. If you are worried, keep this king of non organic compost for trees and ’ornamentals’ (i consider mine next year’s green material source when i do trimming and maintenance)
I believe that bread and grain and straw is going to go through a very boozy process...molding/fermeting yeast...be on the lookout for drunk birds. Great idea David, you the man. great idea reusing the bread bags...if you have any additional consider taking them into the dog park 'doggie bags here' dispensers and shove 'em in!...I give any used plastic bags a 2nd life as a dog poop bag :)
My grandma would clean the bread wrappers and cut them into one long big strip and crochet it into a round rug. You could wash the rug in the machine in the winter time it was warm on your feet in the summer is cool on your toes. That would make an awfully pretty rug I'd pay to see that. That's one big sloppy joe you just made there David! Thank you for being so "consiDOUGHrate" and showing us how to make a new kind of compost sandwich. NANA'S from Central Florida
The farmer where I get my milk from uses bread from local bakeries/grocery stores as a grain substitute for his livestock; he saves a ton of money, this saves landfill space, and from what I can tell, his animals enjoy the various types of bread and don't seem to suffer from any health issues. It's a win all the way around!
Mix with straw and sawdust in the shade of some trees, add a little water to keep moist, then grow mushrooms! You can get mushroom spawn, etc. just like seeds and some mushrooms are easy to grow. Then enjoy a morning omlet with your fresh grown mushrooms!
Holy moly! Bread is a GREEN layer?? This is amazing news for my tomatoes, peppers, and potatoes! Hot dog! I get a consistent boatload of bread and kitchen scraps every week from a local restaurant in exchange for eggs from my chickens.
I wonder with Grazon being mentioned and that animals eat it and it passes through to the soil. Has there been a test done on bread like you composted?
I just threw out a half a loaf of bread out yonder on my acre. It's been on the counter for 2 months and hasn't molded, so didn't want to eat it. Maybe some birds or something will want it?
Stop throwing stuff in landfills! Compost everything!

You could use all those plastic bags that the bread came in by hooking it into rugs or mats. My mother used to do that with recycled grocery bags & give the mats to homeless to sleep on, so they were not sleeping on the ground.
My wife crochets plastic bags, so it is still done.
Yeah I see people around doing that.

Great for bathrooms
I can't imagine having that much patience, but that's a cool thing to do
I was a little disappointed you didn't throw any fish in there. Everyone knows loaves and fishes goes farther ;) lol

Huh? Please explain
With three mini bamboo pegs you could sleeve the bread bag over them like wind barrier or tiny greenhouse to start plants earlier in the season.
I love this video so much that I've forgiven you for the bamboo video. It kept me awake for a week.
That is hilarious. Thank you.
Loved the psychedelic bread kaleidoscope. Enjoyed seeing the kids toys pressed into service. Thanks for acknowledging there are several ways of learning: visual, auditory etc.
Came in part way threough the premier, so now need to watch the beginning. Better dumped in your compost than landfill. Thanks for a few more ideas on sources for compost greens
Just think of all that great soil. Very nice
Could one also compost non ecological bread? Has bread like this much pestizides in it? I mean it‘s the inside of the grain which hasn’t been sprayed directly..🧐like coffee grounds for example they needed to be peeled.
Better let life break it down than landfills. If you are worried, keep this king of non organic compost for trees and ’ornamentals’ (i consider mine next year’s green material source when i do trimming and maintenance)
I believe that bread and grain and straw is going to go through a very boozy process...molding/fermeting yeast...be on the lookout for drunk birds. Great idea David, you the man. great idea reusing the bread bags...if you have any additional consider taking them into the dog park 'doggie bags here' dispensers and shove 'em in!...I give any used plastic bags a 2nd life as a dog poop bag :)
Please do a video of the mulberry propagation! My Rachel mulberry is doing great but I can't seem to get any cuttings to root!
David, can I throw a 20 pound bag of extremly molded chicken feed consisting of Grains, into compost pile. Please advise thank you
Yes
From 🇷🇺 with ❤️!
Love the the music montages of the bread being hosed. What is this fig pop you speak of?
It's a fig propagation method among crazy collectors. Scrubland Farmz has a video on it.
@@davidthegood guessing you root. It on the branch?
@@TSis76 no, a dormant cutting in a plastic bag. Ourfigs forum has alot of threads about it.
These scenes had me cackling. Freaking hilarious.
David the good, goodest thing since sliced bread.
You are funny 😂😂😂. Thank you for sharing this interesting video
My grandma would clean the bread wrappers and cut them into one long big strip and crochet it into a round rug. You could wash the rug in the machine in the winter time it was warm on your feet in the summer is cool on your toes. That would make an awfully pretty rug I'd pay to see that. That's one big sloppy joe you just made there David! Thank you for being so "consiDOUGHrate" and showing us how to make a new kind of compost sandwich. NANA'S from Central Florida
Our grandmothers knew about recycling before it was the thing to do! Nothing went to waste.
The farmer where I get my milk from uses bread from local bakeries/grocery stores as a grain substitute for his livestock; he saves a ton of money, this saves landfill space, and from what I can tell, his animals enjoy the various types of bread and don't seem to suffer from any health issues. It's a win all the way around!
When I was a kid, the pig farmers picked up all the old bread from the grocery store every week. Don't they still do that? ';D
I gotta say this one of your best. I laughed so hard that I farted and got tears in my eyes. Thanks David
hahahahahahahaha
Mix with straw and sawdust in the shade of some trees, add a little water to keep moist, then grow mushrooms! You can get mushroom spawn, etc. just like seeds and some mushrooms are easy to grow. Then enjoy a morning omlet with your fresh grown mushrooms!
4:17 David loses his mind.
I compost fat a lot!!! It's full of vitamins and minerals and the plants don't seem to mind! I use hydrated lime to neutralize the stinky lol.
You can also cut the bags into plarn then crochet larger reusable bags etc with it.
Bread has salt content which wiggler worms don't like. Do you note salt tolerant plants?
no need
Lol @ the lil homie 2:47 "Well, I am kind of hungry." 🤣😂
Holy moly! Bread is a GREEN layer?? This is amazing news for my tomatoes, peppers, and potatoes! Hot dog! I get a consistent boatload of bread and kitchen scraps every week from a local restaurant in exchange for eggs from my chickens.
Thanks for sharing 👍 😊
Maybe sun drying on a flat platform then grinding to be easier fed and stored?
The rain here has been too much, though it's a good idea.
That was the best brother! Haha lol… 😂🤙🏼love it
I wonder with Grazon being mentioned and that animals eat it and it passes through to the soil. Has there been a test done on bread like you composted?
No, I wonder about that too. But it's not usually used on grains, so I have heard.
Like the live, laugh.....Is it available in something other than Gilden fabric. Aggravates psoriasis.
You might be able to write Aardvark Screenprinting off their site and ask. I think they have a few options.
That show vs tell tangent was hilarious
Such a beautiful, fluffy Hay! What kind is it exactly? Thanks for a great video!
I think it's mostly bahia, but there's some sedge in there too.
I just threw out a half a loaf of bread out yonder on my acre. It's been on the counter for 2 months and hasn't molded, so didn't want to eat it. Maybe some birds or something will want it?
I use bread bags for freezing meat in I double up the bags . Especially ground turkey or beef or whatever kind of ground meat.
glyphosate issues>? .. grains are sprayed 3 times even just before harvest no?
