What happens when you bury garden scraps in the garden? They break down and compost, the Native American Indians knew this and worked smarter not harder to reammend their beds for spring. They buried scraps and plant material in the ground to break down and fertilize the soil for next year with what was taken out from that growing season.

why are you not using the no dig method? For someone who says he does not like to work, mlooks like you are doing alot of work.

Trudy Temple, founder of Market Day, used to do this. In her book, Trudi's Garden, she wrote that u could bury your compost in the garden, insert a stick, n when the stick sinks, u can plant something in that spot.
First Nations is a better way to say indians.
Would really help speed up the process if it was shredded
Brilliant
EXCELLENT!
I use circular tomato trellis' for my pole beans, really old and rusted. I may have broke off the base of the plant and tossed the trellis in the fire pit and burned off the vines.
I also hunt, and the opening day of dove season where I live is also the same weekend to start putting in your fall/winter garden. After myself and friends clean the birds I keep all the carcasses and trench compost them as well
Ok Luke, don't laugh but normally I never process my loquats because they are so much work. So I decided I would make use of my time by processing my loquats while I watch your YouTube channel:)
You talk way more than necessary, please be more to the point. We all want to obtain knowledge but I find myself leaving your videos before ever learning what I came for.
I have done this out of purely trying to keep things as simple as possible but wasn’t sure if anyone else did it.
I made a in ground compost bin, works great, check it out on my channel on how to make one
Wtf, we're in 2022, please don't refer to Indigenous/Native people as "Indians"
Kids are very good at pulling pole beans off trellises. They have the patience.
Composting in place is especially attractive when you consider the micronutrients that a given crop needs. Those micronutrients may not be in the compost you’ve made of an unrelated crop.
Love the idea! Do you ever test the soils initially for a nutrient baseline?
Great tips very smart thank you ?
Makes perfect sense to me. I did the same because viney stuff I didn't want to take the energy to chop up works excellent to just bury it in a trench.
@Migardener i have a question as far as using the old plants in trench composting. Can you still do this if a fungus or pests have gotten on the crop?
I don't have access to leaves. Can I cover the bed with cardboard?
If you really look into the history of the Native Americans you would realize that they are the so-called African Americans which your ancestors stole all the land from and subjugated into ghettos which is the state remaining today
Is the celebration of Thanksgiving is the murder of Native Americans look into the history
You're the best! I'm thankful for all the gardening advice you give on your channel. Thank you, Luke!
I burry my strawberry leaves i cut down in the soil under the mulch. Im happy to know im not crazy
I've always done this, I thought I made it up (and was just being lazy haha).
When I've taken dead leaves off of a plant, I've just dropped in back into that area. Think it's called 'chop & drop'. It's similar to what you're doing. I plant in 18-gallon containers.
Wow the only thing learned in school that has served me somewhat is how it feels swimming in 6⁰C. After a little while you cant swim at all.
I buried fish in trenches yesterday about a foot deep. How long should i wait before planting on top of them?
What difference does it make if we're going to fertilize the beds again and again come Spring and Summer?
