    This is genius. It's an all in one for everything Gardenful!
    1.] Compost Bin
    2.] Bird Feeder [Don't even need a feeding tray if $ is tight!]
    3.] WITH Bird Protection
    4.] Insect Breeder
    5.] Compost Tea Collector
    6.] Garden Soil Container [Eventually!]
    I love an all in one situation! Don't even *need* a chair to put it on (for compost tea collection) We have concrete benches near our gardening area & also a gardening table in back it could sit on (near the woods where the birds love to hang about!) YAY for this idea!

    Just looking at how to improve my composting ... everything has been getting thrown into a cardboard box. And wanting to set up a bird feeder. And, voila! Your video! Wow! Thank you!! And there's the added benefit of getting compost tea while everything is continuing to break down. Wonderful !!

    One of the other channels I watch suggests that we dry bones out in the oven (or a dehydrator) and then blend them up for our own bone meal.

    this is a great modification to a compost bin.

    I try to use my totes as compost after my pepper plants die off. The wild cats in our neighborhood are using its as a litter box. So I'm glad i had the lids for my totes. I don't think this will work as an open source container to feed birds in our winter season in or any season in Texas. Thanks for another idea for 2 in one idea for totes.

    Fantastic n Brilliant idea! Love that the birds will have more access to protine. Come spring the baby birds will be very well fed, that’s for certain! Word is getting out in the bird population that the place to be is at Robbie and Gary’s place! Great job Robbie!👍🏻♥️

    Great idea. I can't believe how the birds take to your new projects right away. That's funny how they yell at you. I get the same thing when the feeders are getting low. It's weird how they know you are the one who feeds them. When they see me they start yelling and flying around. It's pretty cool though. Thanks again

    I learn something new every time I watch your videos!! Do the compost piles always drain much? I may have put too many holes in my totes (including the bottom) so I’ll monitor that. I hope I can see birds going after the insects!

  • @viola-suzieq

    The big thing I don't like about this is all the Nats. In Florida we have so many bugs that eat the leaves of my plants and kills them before they grow. So frustrating.

    • @RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy
      @RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      We have a lot of birds here that eat those, so this is gonna be very helpful for the wildlife. You can always just cover the top of the food matter with some soil and that will stop the Nats

      Yes, but in limited amounts as the citrus component is acidic... so will scrub out your microbes if used in excess

    Hi Robbie. We have raccoons and they get into peoples tall trash containers so I don't know if this will work for me. If anyone has suggestions to keep raccoons out, I'd appreciate knowing them.

    • @RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy

      We have raccoons too, and so far they do not go near any of the totes, all they do is come to swim in my ponds😊 I do know ways to keep them out completely, I might put something up in the spring on that, thanks ❤

      Try putting something just heavy enough to where they can't move it. But not too heavy to where it'll cave in the top.
