http://www.HomeOrganicGarden.net Organic gardening is much more then just avoiding the use of chemicals on your garden. For many people it is an outlook on living using nature’s laws to grow their fruits, vegetables, and other plants naturally. This is usually a personal choice made in light of much research done into the importance of diet as it relates to our health and longevity.

Should you be an organic gardening newbie, you are going to need to know what supplies to purchase to be successful with your garden. Organic gardens are not too much different than other kinds of gardens. The main exception is that the gardening supplies like fertilizers ought to be free of artificial chemicals and the like.

Have you ever considered growing your own organic vegetables from home? If you think it is hard work or to difficult, then I want to share with you how I grow my own organic vegetables from home. The reason why I started growing my own vegetables was, because I realized that most vegetables that are grown commercially are sprayed with chemicals that are harmful to our bodies.

Composter. Genuine organic gardening demands using composting materials, and it really is a lot simpler when you possess the correct tools. Some sort of compost crock which rests within your kitchen area and holds food waste may be bought on-line for less than twenty-five dollars. Bigger, compost tumblers sell for much more, however when you are determined to truly pursue organic gardening, it will be the best method for recycling.

Organic gardening compost is made by decomposing anything which decomposes like leftover food, rotten veggies or even animal waste. Dog and cat waste are generally not used as they may spread infection. These materials are filled in layers in a pit covered from rain. It must be mixed regularly so that it decomposes evenly.

Doug uses a lot of compost and compost tea in his gardens so when he had a chance to trial this compost tumbler system, he accepted it as a challenge. The first challenge was to figure out how to build it. And that’s what he’s doing in this video.

Doug shows you some of the pitfalls and techniques in assembling this compost drum style unit – from making sure the plastic sits in the hot sun until it’s soft enough to work to figuring out how it all goes together and still turns.

The first year’s experiment with this unit wasn’t spectacular because Doug didn’t add enough “brown” or carbon based material to the mix. Also he added far too much material over too long a time. So instead of getting a good composting process going, it tended to rot. The second year, he loaded it up more as a batch loader (a shorter time to load everything) and then didn’t add more material once the first load was in. He also balanced the green:brown ratio (5:1) better than the 10:1 he probably used the preceding year. The composter worked well and produced useable compost.

Because Doug produces a great deal of compost in any given year and continuously batch loads his pile (he has two piles for alternating years) the drum system isn’t large enough for him. But a smaller garden would likely find it fine to use (or have 2 – one cooking and one loading)

What Materials Can You Compost?

Pretty much all your organic household and garden waste is an elligible candidate for composting although there are a few exceptions. Things to particularly avoid are meat, fish, bones, fats and oils, dairy products like milk and cheese, dog and cat droppings as these can attract animals, create foul smells as they degrade and carry nasty diseases. Also, whilst weeds and plants can be added, it is advised to dry out persisent weeds and remove seed heads before adding these. Ashes are also best avoided, as are glossy magazines although shredded paper and cardboard are fine to add. Feel free to add waste fruit and vegetables, crushed egg shells, coffee grounds (worms love them!) and tea bags, hair, leaves, grass clippings and other organic waste. As a general rule, if in doubt, leave it out but most organic waste will rot down just fine and if you shred it or cut it up smaller, it will compost faster.

How Long Before It Becomes Compost?

This depends on the balance of materials in your compost heap, the weather and the amount of time you can devote to the project. If you want to take an active managed approach to your composting then you can have afully composted pile in 3 months but if your only desire is to dispose of kitchen and garden waste in a more ‘green’ manner then it can take 6 months to a year or longer.

Managed composting can produce a ‘hot rot’ with very fast results but it does require additional effort on your behalf to keep it going. A managed, hot compost heap with an excellent balance of materials can reach temperatures of 70 degree celsius but requires regular turning and nurturing with careful layering and balance of browns and greens in the mix, shredding materials and maintaining a good moisture level.

An unmanaged cool heap is however much easier to maintain and rots down at up to 30 degrees celsius with little input from you. Just throwing your waste on the heap will give you a cooler heap which will rot down more slowly but is fine for green waste disposal purposes.

There are ways to increase the rate of the composting process in both cases by, for example, adding composting worms, or by using an activator which help speed up the process. The addition of a handful or soil now and then or horse manure will also add micro-organisms to speed up the composting process free of charge.

For The Best Compost…

…use a wide variety of different materials. The more varied the materials you add to the compost pile, the nutrient rich your final compost will be. Compost made from kitchen and garden waste is the best food for your plants and at the same time you are helping the environment and saving yourself and your local government money into the bargain.
