  1. I have a compost thats great and I also have a lazy compost thats been there for years and years. You know, end of the day and tired and you throw it in and say I deal with it tomorrow. Tomorrow never comes!! 🙂

  2. QUESTION: I started my first compost bin a couple months ago (to break down throughout winter, I live in Michigan). Was it ok to use maple leaves that had the fungal disease Rhytisma Acerinum (black tar spot) on them?

  3. Can you add coffee filters to your compost pile as long as they are paper coffee filters? My family and I are new to gardening and have been following your channel we are also from Michigan so your channel is a great guide for us. Thank you for all the information it’s been a great help to us Luke.

  4. I use a tumbler compost barrel for my urban garden. We have a great deal of appropriate kitchen scraps and coffee grounds etc. The problem I have is that this mixture is too wet. Too much green and not enough brown. I have not been adding my leaves because of all the oak seeds. I happened upon the pine shavings for rabbit cages at Tractor Supply. I mixed in some of this and it worked great! I put some in the bottom of the countertop compost bucket and that eliminates the sludge at the bottom. I thought I had a great solution until another Utuber said to "never put pine shavings in the compost." What is your recommendation on the pine shavings and the oak seeds?

  5. i eat a banana a day with my pills and i take a pair of scissors and cut my peel up into small squares easily done and i either put them in the compost or down in my hole when i plant some veggies. my napa loves them.

  6. We get the used grains from our local brewery to add to our compost. Found out that some local farmers were doing the same with their fields. Its free. Its waste product to the brewery.
