I have 3 of these. Also mine have lids that lock so my workout is rolling them around the yard lol. Also the bears don't get into them like them do my friends open bin. Thanks for the great tip!!
You ramble too much

Thanks for the information of composting in a trash can and explaining all the components of the amendments and their purpose.
Could you drill holes in the side to aerate?
If my compost doesn't heat up I put it in the microwave.
I made a liquid spray from 1 can of beer, 1 soda, 1 cup of ammonia. Spray it in between the layers. It helps the process begin and break down quicker. I saw this on a YouTube video, and it does work.
Isn't coffee grounds good for the nitrogen?
Can wood chips be used as the brown matter? I have no access to dead leaves where I live, but do have wood chips.
Hey Luke – I was wondering if the heat generated by compost could be used to keep a greenhouse warm. I would think that a series of trash can compost bins in a greenhouse would keep the greenhouse warmer and in turn the warmer greenhouse would keep the compost breaking down.
I have a rabbit and I save her droppings for my plants. I know that it is high in nitrogen so would that be exclusively effective for my “nitrogen layer” in my compost? Thanks!
Do you turn it and how often?
Think I will try it.
I also do gardening videos, check them out
How do you know when you compost is done and how long does this method take?
I work at a restaurant and my coworkers gave me a weird look when I asked them to save the old bread and veggies for me. So I decided not to explain.
So could I use a liquid fertilizer like fish emulsion to introduce nitrogen when no green is around? Thanks your videos help alot!
I’ve watched a lot of videos about composting and no one tells us how often and how much water to put into it. Please tell me.
I started a compost pile 2 weeks ago and I already have a 30 gallon trash can full. I’m just guessing on how much water to put in it and I don’t know how often I should do it. Please let me know. Thank you.
Holes in trash can?
Thank you for this video and my lovely seeds that arrived the other day, but I have a question. Do you dump out the contents of the compost onto the ground and then put it back in or do you just roll the trash can on the ground in order to aerate it.
Ok so what about racoons getting into it
Hi, did you put any holes in the bin?
What about your kitchen waste for the green source?
Make in a garden pot if you love in an Apt. Those fabric pots work well . Same method layer brown(paper/leaves) with green (food scraps; blend up makes it go faster) plus water, not too soggy. Cover with plastic & use some type of clips.
I use plastic tubs and lids. Just open it up on dry days and turn it 1x or 2x week and it takes about 1 year.
So I've used a square kitchen garbage can. Drilled holes bottom sides. Placed on bricks. Been using grass clipping wood chips from black kow compost and even card board. But my stuff Is like so compacted and still stinks. I shovel it once a day. Could it be its ready or what am I doing wrong? I even have been adding chicken feed and humichar with compost starter bacteria to help..thanks!
So do you not have to put holes in the can for air?
I’m selling my urine in gallon jugs for $5, I drink lots of beer and bleed and it’s great for all your compost needs.
You didn’t mention making holes in the bottom of the can to allow air flow, and also drain out sitting water, you also didn’t mention how to get the material blended in together.
