Do you use semi-finished compost in the garden? 😀
<3 Garden.
Stopped going to the gym a while ago. Turn three cubic yd piles at a time.
Hello I love love your videos thank you for all your help! This year is my first year planting and I am cleaning my metal boxes i dos use hay to protect my plants and I have thousands of I think térmite on my soil!!!! I put diatomaceous dust remove the hay.
How can I get ride of them? Do I need to dispose my soil? And star all over again? Please any information it will be greatly appreciated it. Thank you
Hey man, just recently got into your channel and I'm loving all your information you give. I'm in Detroit Metro and am putting some of your tips in place trying to make my property and the community more beautiful with plants and life ! Much love
Luke, OT, but I would love to grow some of the beautiful carnations for which you are offering seed, but I don't know when or how to grow them. I live in upstate NY, USDA zone 5, or 5b by now, and the soil is heavy and damp. I know carnations are a Mediterranean variety originally. Can I hope to grow some?
Does this apply to my compost tumblers? The stuff in them is pretty damp, smelly and has maggots. I keep adding browns but it is taking forever to turn into real compost.
Good stuff
Question – if the soil was infected with a powdery mildew fungus how do I clean it up to replant there?
Great timing for me as spring planting has begun here in Australia but the compost pile is still a work in progress
Spot on Luke! Your comments on covering/not covering compost piles is good advice that is rarely discussed.
Excellent video. Thanks.
Since it is still breaking down, doesn't it burn the stem or the roots since it will most likely create heat.!?.
Did you have a link for a deal on heirloom seeds?
THEY SAID HE WAS CRAZY FOR USING SEMI-FINISHED COMPOST IN THE GARDEN!!!!!
Do you use humanure in your compost?
I just found a couple newborn mice in my compost. I haven't been turning and watering enough. Now I'm doing it weekly. Also spraying peppermint oil to deter them. However I'm still unsure about using this compost in my food garden next year. Please help.
Great tips on semi-finished compost and compost! Where did you get that shovel? That would be the perfect size for my compost bin.
Get your advice from someone that knows what they’re talking about. The misinformation here is overwhelming
Chop n drop.
Perfect timing. Thanks Luke. My thoughts were to top w pretty mulch from lowes for cosmetic purposes. Here i thought o was just being a bit too eager and rushing things. As usual your videos seem to come just when i need them.
Question… i have a compost pile that is almost ready. It is a mound on the open ground so there are lots of earthworms! Should i remove the worms from the compost before adding to garden area’s?
I've tried composting in the bed, not just as a mulch like in the video. Wow, that failed. I've tried it 3 times with different types of plants. I mix soil in with the unfinished plant material but the plants seriously struggle. I assume there are too many microbes and insects attacking the roots. And/or maybe the water is draining/evaporating too fast as I live in Phoenix, very hot & dry so heavy clay soil has the advantage of holding moisture.
Composting here is difficult because we get almost no rain so expensive water has to be used. The one trick that is working is to put the material into plastic trash container, add a lot of water, wait 7-10 days for break down to start then flip the containers upside down. That drains the standing water, get's a little gas exchange. Then they can sit for several weeks without drying out.
Great video thank you for the education your a really good teacher we appreciate your love, dedication and hard work have a blessed evening
Can you compost plants with powdery mildew if you let it fully compost?
Thank you from Ontario Canada
Can you compost brown take out bags from fast food like wendys or Mcdonalds?
I put a heaping shovel full of semi finished compost in each hole that I plant trees/shrubs & handful in each planting hole for each & every plant that I put in the ground. I absolutely love using it & putting all that organic matter in the ground is so beneficial!
I needed this thanks! I have so much semi finished compost I need to make some room!!
Fancy shovel you have there
