2009 Garden Vlog 5, Total Garden Overview
Kinda long but I DO cover a LOT of territory with this video. And BTW if you’re wondering why I’ll be moving the big pile of partially decomposed wood chips to my lower garden eventually, it’s because I’ll mostly be moving my entire garden down there next season because the soil is MUCH better there.
It’s kinda odd. I’ve previously been uploading 720 x 480 WMV files and they’ve been filling the screen. This time I upped a 720 x 480 MP4 file and it didn’t fill the screen.

Composter Program Is Great For Eliminating Kitchen Scraps
There is a lot of technical information floating around concerning a compost program. The idea behind this article is to put in layman’s terms. Although the technical explanation can come in handy at the right time, the main concept of this article is to put it in terms that anyone can understand.
A compost pile is really just an attempt to give back to mother nature. compost is more that just a fertilizer. It is a mulch, a soil conditioner and it will provide the minerals and nutrients your plants need to grow. Compost rich soil retains water much better, this will be very beneficial for your plants.
There are many different composting programs, the simplest is the no turn method. As the title indicates you simply do not turn the pile. This method does take a bit longer but it is by far the easiest. get the ready compost from the bottom and add new compost material to the top.
Adding straw or some other course material to the compost pile creates air pockets and allows the pile to be aerated. When air is allowed in the pile you can expect your compost to be developed at the same rate as when the turn over method is used.
A compost pile will need materials that are rich in carbon and nitrogen such as fruits and vegetables and other tables scraps. Some of the other useful items are eggshells, coffee grounds, wood ash, tea leaves, grass clippings, pine needles, cardboard and shredded paper.
Stay away from bones as they attract a number of rodents and other pests. Oily substances do not break down well so they should be avoided also.
Discourage fruit flies from grouping together on your pile. Do this by covering the pile or add lime to the top as you add new materials to your compost pile. The lime also helps to neutralize odors although if your pile is properly built the odors should not be a problem.
This article simplifies a compost program. It is not a very complicated process, the biggest element is just time.

Composting For Beginners: Why You Should And How To Do It!
This text is meant to be an introductory guide to composting for beginners. Every organic garden, or in fact every garden, needs to have a compost pile.
How come?
Well, every time you take away a weed or plant residue of any kind from your garden, you also take away nutrients and organic matter. If you just let it go to waste, that is to the garbage can, you slowly deprive your garden soil of nutrients and organic matter. If you, instead, choose to put the plant residues in a compost pile you will recycle those goodies for your garden.
What biodegradable waste can I put in the compost?
Branches and stems need to go through a compost mill before being put into the compost pile, in order to degrade within reasonable time. Plant residues can of course also go into the pile, but beware of parts that are contaminated with any plant disease as that can spread from the compost pile. Take those parts and burn them or throw them away into the garbage can.
What is best to use, a container or just a pile?
If your garden is somewhat spacious you can put a compost pile in a hidden and shady part of it. In order to add oxygen to the mix you need to turn it over every now and then. Even if this is a really simple way to start composting it looks a bit slatternly.
If you purchase a composting bin with separate compartments, you can fill one compartment at a time and leave the other to decompose. Then you will have compost ready to use separated from the newly added material.
Composting in the fast lane
A fast and easy way to make compost is to use a closed compost bin that you can easily turn around with a lever every time you add material, to air the compost and mix it thoroughly. This makes the decomposition process develop fast, and your compost will be ready to use in a matter of weeks. In a compost bin of this kind you can also recycle food scrap, bringing plenty of nitrogen into the mix.
If you combine a simple pile with a closed, preferably rotating, compost bin you can take advantage of almost all the organic waste in your home. The garden residues go in the pile, and the food scraps in the closed compost bin.
Do I need a Compost Pail?
http://compostinstructions.com
Compost pails are useful tools for carrying kitchen scraps from the home to the compost pile, compost bin, or compost heap. There are compost pails you can buy (like the stainless steel compost pail in this video) that have activated carbon filters on them to help keep the scent away for any scraps you may have in the kitchen – although in all honesty, it’s best to take the pail to the bin every few days or so.
In this video, we address the issue of compost pails and discuss using one, buying one, or even how to apporach a DIY method.
