Are you making compost? Share YOUR tips for making it FASTER! Thanks for watching!
I like
Glad you like it! Are you composting?
This is just sooo great 😁😍
Thank for your advice nice to learn it big help
Sharpen the shovel to make the chopping easier and when moisture needed, pour in a flat beer instead of (or in addition to) water. the hops and grains help heat it up better.
its dangerous to sharp a shovel.... with a bad strike u can harm yourself... by accident... there are other tools u can use to do what ur thinking
I like what Mark from self efficient me does more and I tried this winter and love it. It is to just dump all your stuff in a pile and let your chickens do all the work
CaliKim is the best gardener since Noah got off the Ark and planted a vineyard
I moved to the suburbs six months ago and thanks to this video have started composting.
Where do you keep their kitchen scraps while youre waiting to make a compost pile. I’ve started keeping them in the freezer but am worried there wil be too much? Maybe I’m overthinking it. I guess the best thing is to have 3 compost piles. But for now I will start with one.
Every tine I use my home made compost I say a little blessing for u for u owe it to u ,very beneficial to my garden Saving a lot of money , get better harvest and way less garbage to the landfill, thank u 🙏👍👍❤️
You are the reason that I’ve started composting. I’m trying multiple methods, i. e. Plastic trash can, bin that I turn and a wire fence bin. I’m having so much fun experimenting and learning about this. I can’t wait until next spring to start a garden.
Anyone with a little space should compost. It's amazing how empty your trash cans can be, when you compost your paper, food scraps, and tree leaves. If everyone with space did it, we'd have free compost and lower our carbon footprint.
And it's cool to witness trash magically turning into dirt.
This video is RIGHT ON TIME!!! I just posted a video asking for help on how and where to put our chicken and duck coop compost.
Been wanting to start composting, this was helpful. Thanks
Very good video, good presentation, step by step guide, makes the work simple and fun. Thanks for being kind and generous to share this beneficial tips. Bless you.
Oh that was so great as I have just started a new compost pile & forgot a couple of tips. Thanks heaps Kim. Cheers Denise- Australia
Perfect timing, Denise! You should be able to get your compost pile nice and hot with these tips and have black gold for your garden in no time! Thanks for watching!
I just made a tumbling composter with a plastic barrel, a pallet and four casters for the barrel to roll on. Seams like a good way to really mix everything up.
Loading it up for the first time today!
I wish I still lived in Cali...miss it!
I’m so excited to get started. Thank you for this how to- on composting.
Can't wait to hear about all the black gold you'll be making for your garden, Nicole! Stay tuned for updates and let me know how your composting goes!
Thank you! I watched your video and my buys and i made 2 compost bins and 3 compost bags this afternoon. 🌹♥️👍👍
That was THE best explanation of composting I’ve seen !
Great video and some really useful info and tips. Thank you
awesomeness thank you for the tips, will definitely give it a try
Thank you so much for tips. I'll collect my coffee & tea bag for adding to my compost piles.. Warm greeting from Indonesia..
I've watched so many videos on composting OMG. Thanks for keeping it short and to the point. I'll have to get one of those sacks, just started my first compost in a cow feed bucket. Wish me luck.
I just made my own DIY compost bin out of a plastic storage container and poked holes above, below and around and added the following kitchen scraps, tea bags, and coffee grounds including some of the stuff you showed in this video and I can’t wait to see how it turns out. Thanks for the tips!
So how it turned out to be?
Ah! Goes to show for myself I need to look more than once at episodes shown. My pile was shrinking as I added material and may have been thinking I was doing something wrong.Well now I know it’s perfectly normal. Another video from you did point out a mistake I really did make. I was not placing materials on the bottom conducive to giving air flow. Thanks for these tips. Will endeavour to apply them as time goes on.
Thanks for the idea, helps the environment too.
This video is very helpful. I have been intimidated at starting a compost, but seeing this video, and the space you have, its seems so easy. Thanks for the tips, I'm going to start composting.
Just start throwing shit into it. Rabbit , chicken. Grass clippings, bone meal, straw. It will come together
Good way to make compost, it’s helpful.
Thank you for sharing
Thank God, this has been such a great video that taught me whole bunch! You utilized every bit God created. Manifescent!! Thanks so much!

I like it when you say the compose is a black gold👌👌
Great infos, thanks for sharing 👍
As someone who lives in a very hot climate, composting will be very quick for me 😄
It is great way to make composed. Thanks for sharing your video
Zzfar away from Indore in India.I took my small first lot a few days back.Your presentation added lot of clarity.
Great video! My tip is never let your compost get too dry. Good drainage is important, but the bacteria that break down compost need some moisture to do their job.
Great tip, Jason! The microbes thrive in a moist environment for sure! Let me know how your composting goes this spring - thanks for watching!
thank you for the tips.. it really helps me alot..
Very easy and helpful tips how to make a compose, thankyou
Thanks for your information, ITS very beautiful idea👍👍✨ good job 😊
Great video Sis, thanks for your sharing 👍❤️🤝
That was a very informative video. Thanks.
I get inspired when I watched this video thank you
thanks for the video. I am going to start it soon !
Great job for sharing good & useful tips! God bless!
Thank you for this. I am going to purchase one of the Smart Pot composting bags!
Thank you for sharing this !
Very informative and clear, thanks for a great video.
I save my own coffee grounds and sometimes I even get some from my local STARBUCKS! I also save my used tea bags and bury them in the soil. I’m currently in the process of growing boysenberries and I remember how amazed I was with the results.
Thank you, well explained!
Hellow so nice EXPLANATION I learned a lot ma'am thanks for sharing ❤️🙏🏼
This really helps..thank you!
Woohoo that's great, I'm a banana farmer from Maldives, & I'm going to use your concepts for Sure.
Thanks for showing and explaining this so good in detail! Where does one get these Compast sacks?
Nice video! I like to put my greens into a trash barrel 1/4 way up and use my weed trimmer the chop everything up faster. I use my leaf shredder to chop up the oak leaves into a finer mix. Living in central Florida we have more oak leaves than another kind of leaves.
Thanks I'll try it
Such a great tutorial on how to make compost.
awesome compost pile Kim I plan on doing the same here before to long
Great, Jackie! It will be great to get that free fertilizer for your garden! Happy composting!
Woohoo! Sunday nite CaliKim29 video! I wanna compost but worry I’m biting off more than I can chew as I’m building beds and growing everything from seed this year (yikes).
All in good time, Dot! The compost pile will be there when you're ready for it. So glad you're expanding your garden! Have fun!
Thanks for the great tips!
Excellent vlog today! Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it, Jean! Are you composting?
I'm so excited to make a campost 😃😃
Thank you for sharing God bless ❤️🙏😘😘
Thank you for all the great videos...Im a newby to composting,so this helps me learn.Ty..Keep up the great learning curve!!👍
You're welcome - so glad you're composting, Billy! Let me know how it goes!
You could put the sack on some heavy branches for air flow at the bottom.
Great idea, d hamby. The extra air flow can only help! Thanks for watching!
Liked you video the most of all compost advice videos👌👍👍👍
Hi. Love your videos. If you are speeding up the process, how long does it typically take for your compost pile to be ready!? 😀😀😀😀
Looks nice, im a beginner and want to try it. Thanks...Lina.of Puerto Princesa City
Just finished reading your book "Raised Bed Garden" excellent! I wish I didn't spend $$$ on gardening before reading it, but now I'm better informed. Thank you~
Hi Miguel - glad you enjoyed it - thanks for reading it! Now your wiser the next go around. Have fun with your raised bed garden - and enjoy those homegrown veggies!
Thanks for your sharing this video
This video is very helpful.
Hi Kim great video as always and lots of information
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for joining me on today's livestream! Happy composting!
Just ordered a compost sak going to try them out sounds easier. Thanks for the discount :)
Thanks Kim - great info!
Could be, too. Bonide has a good bug identifier on their website. Either one of those...not a fan!!! HA thanks - Kim
Thanks for sharing
Great videos..... I drink lots coffee so I've got my grounds... Thank you....
Awesome good job dear 👍👍
Why would anyone hit "dislike" on this ?
Thanks for the info 🌿
Great stuff. Many thanks.
Y/W !!
I deliver newspapers, so I pick up the grass clippings on the side of the road on my routes. I mulch my excess papers and add sawdust and whatever else I can find. It's all free. To add a little phosphorus, to the mix, I take a few clumps of kitty pee from the litterbox and mix that in.
Fantastic 😍.
Thank you for an excellent program. I dig my backyard and put everything, covered with plastic and regularly watered it through winter. Everything melted except for vine branches, they are still there in a soggy state. Any suggestions?
Hi Kim thank you for this easy composting. One question, will this size of compost generate enough heat to heat up a 11ft x 10ft x 7ft greenhouse? Or should I have more then one compost bags? Thank you
Nice Video ,and explaind.What if I add some soil and Curd in compost bin with dry and wet leaf , vegitable peals??
OH MY GOSH I AM SO GLAD I FOUND YOUR VIDEO.. I have a small composting roll bin and have been filling it . now that i know im going to take it all back out chop water and start over. thank you
Excellent presentation. I also add red worms to mine.
Great jobs
This is simple, easy, and inexpensive love it! thanks for sharing
No problem, Natalie! Hope it helps you make some beautiful compost for your spring garden!
Hi very good videos after that use that compost to activate it whit biochar for gardening . look up the history of biochar for gardening have a nice day Kenny from northern Kentucky USA
Thx for this video! Could you go into detail about what kitchen scraps to save? I didn’t see you add the kitchen scraps?
Hi Debbie, so glad you enjoyed the video. We accidentally left out the clip where we added them to the pile, but showed the bucket of kitchen scraps at the beginning of the video. You can use vegetable and fruit scraps (eggshells, coffee grounds, and tea bags too), but no meat or dairy products. Let me know how your composting goes!
Great video ! How can I store the completed compost for future use ? In breathable non airtight plastic bags and would this harm or kill the helpful worms that are within the compost soil ?
That looks like a great compost sack.
Hello, OGNC - I've used the Compost Sak for years, it's such simple solution to composting. Keeps everything neat and contained and keeps the critters out! How's composting going for you?
@@CaliKim29 I am doing no till, wood chip gardening mostly...I use my vermicomposting worms to finish the bedding from the rabbit pen some too. the worms love that. i do have two compost piles too that i dont pay too much attention to. I mostly put mowing grass and leaves in them and I hardly ever turn them. I do harvest some great compost off them in the spring.
a classy lady composting
Love composting ♥️ and your corner !! Your composting corner is more than double the size of my entire growing space , just visually 🤐.
Hey MBG! I love your indoor compost bins, it's amazing how much they break down - always impressed at how resourceful your are in your small space. Hugs from CG and I!
@@CaliKim29 Much needed hugs , thanks so much 🥰❤️ Kim and CG.
So welcome! Viewers were asking about lazy composting today on the Livestream, I recommended them to your channel and the lazy compost video. :)
@@CaliKim29 Oh wow 😍 , that was really kind of you Kim , much love 🥰 .
The compost sack looks great 👍
Hi Me & You, I've used the Compost Sak for years, it's such simple solution to composting. Keeps everything neat and contained and keeps the critters out! How's composting going for you?
@@CaliKim29 I haven't successfully built a hot compost yet. I had a question I saved up a garage can full of kitchen scraps(only) over a year ago when I checked it looked all like dark dirt. Is this safe to use even though I didn't have the right ratios? Thanks for sharing your videos !
good video!!
Starbucks gives free coffee grounds for the garden. They bag up grounds and put it in buckets by their counters
Hi Naheed - a great free resource, this is where I got my coffee grounds. It feels good to re-use them to make free fertilizer for the garden! Thanks for watching!
And makes your car smell awsome until you get home
Oh wow
I didn't know it
I’ll try to ask for some coffee ground from a Starbucks close to our place here in Sterling Hts Michigan. Thanks.
With COVID19 are they still giving away coffee grounds?
It takes longer; but, I use hand-held pruners or garden shears to cut up yard trimmings. During the lawn mowing season, I try to rake up the cut grass; but, the lawnmower that the lawn maintenance crew uses chops the cut grass so fine that it makes it hard to rake up. My compost bin is a large Rubbermaid garbage can that we drilled holes in. The bin only has trouble getting hot during the winter and early spring. But, I keep putting stuff in it. I don't have a pitchfork; but, I have a tool called The Claw that I can use to turn the pile to a certain extent.
Great ideas, Donna! It's fun to hear the many ways to compost to get to the same end product. Glad it's working for ya!
I will now!
Nice! 👍
SHALOM !
How about to mix the vegetable trimming and west food ? Please
Nice!!!
Verry Good, I like..., I from Indonesia
Yes we all love that black gold.
It's so good for the garden! Missed you on the LS - hope all is well, Brandan!
CaliKim29 Garden & Home DIY Hi Kim and jerry I know, I’m sorry I had a dentist appointment today and I got 2 fillings I hope to make the next one.
no problem - hope your appointment went well!
Great presentation.
Easy to absorb.
Questions:
1. Your compost sac- has it got holes for the liquid to get out?
2. Can hard plastic containers good enough for composting in the absence of the sac?
Hope to hear from you soon. Thank you.
Hi Esther, the Compost Sac is made out of a very durable aerated fabric, the water drains very well, and the compost gets AIR, which its critical to helping it break down faster. You can use hard plastic containers, but you should drill several holes so the compost gets air and doesn't get soggy. Thanks for watching!
@@CaliKim29 thank you very much for your reply. All the best.
