Compost Tumbler Assembly
Compost tumbler assembly keeps garden author Doug Green http://www.simplegiftsfarm.com/compost.html busy for a while sorting out the best way to assemble this massive drum composter.
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)

Organic Gardening – Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium, pH, and Compost
MORE INFO AT: http://www.HomeOrganicGarden.net
If your vegetable garden is not yielding much or your flowers from the flower bed look nothing like the plush ones shown in a magazine then it is a sign that your plants are lacking vital nutrients. The best way to ensure your plants get these nutrients is by making a simple choice. Choose organic gardening compost instead of the chemical ones. The result will vary tremendously.
The health of the plants in your garden is important as our own health. It should never be ignored. Health of a vegetable garden also affects the people who consume the vegetables. Organically prepared compost is easy to make and is cheaper than the chemical fertilizers. Compost is the best way to give your plants all the vital nutrients it needs.
Compost is almost like a plant food. It has all the nutrients needed by your plant in the right amounts. Plants absorb nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus from the soil through the roots. Compost provides it with all these nutrients which sometimes lack in the soil naturally. It is most importantly chemical-free.

Organic compost generally is insoluble and stays in the soil longer than the chemical ones. Therefore it restores the nutrients the soil may have lost due to plants or leeching caused by chemical fertilizers. A good fertile soil is the important necessity in maintaining a garden.
Since organic compost is thicker and insoluble than its chemical counterparts, it traps moisture in the mud also. Plants need water to absorb their nutrients and the more moisture it locks in the soil, the healthier your plant will get. Organic compost does not need to be bought at a store. It can be easily made in your home itself with little preparation.
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.

How to Make Compost with Only a Bag of Leaves
http://compostinstructions.com
You can make compost by using a bag of leaves. It’s an alternate method of composting, but it totally works. Basically, when you’ve just got a big bag of leaves, you can compost right in the bag – just add some nitrogen rich material (coffee grounds, etc) and then get some water in there (so it’s wet), and then seal up the garbage bag and leave it for a year or six months or so – and that’s it…rich leaf mulch – which is just like finished compost.
For more composting tips, please visit us on the web at the site listed at the top of this description. Hope this helps, and happy composting!
