  1. G'day Everyone, you know I love raised bed gardening (especially in those steel aluzinc beds) and now I'm happy to announce that I've made a deal with Birdies Raised Garden beds in Australia & New Zealand go to https://birdiesgardenproducts.com.au/ or https://birdiesgardenproducts.co.nz/ and use Code SSMEbird for a 5% discount.

  2. I'm starting my first compost pile and this is a great alternative. So many options to use food waste in the garden. Thanks for the great information, I subscribed

  3. Have you read about «Bokashi»? If not I recommend it. It's almost the same as you do.. burying food waste. differences are that the soil is finished in 2-3 weeks and you get rid of odors due to decay. You do not need a fancy bokashi bucket (which you can buy). I only use a regular bucket with a lid. (Ps! Sory for my bad english!)

  4. Kitchen scraps are great, as long as they have never been with meat of any kind. I once threw some yard debris over a clay trouble spot in my yard. a few[ as it seems] months later, it was covered with grass.

  5. We had "volunteers" come up from some our overly-anxious composting. We grew mystery potatoes, mystery tomatoes…and our favorite…a mystery melon. The melon was the best, cuz we could not figure out what kind of melon it was as it grew. At about football-size…we were still guessing. Then we found out…it was a watermelon…cuz the squirrels…or something…dug a whole and was feasting…smiles.

  6. I appreciate your efforts sir,but I think if you burried kitchen scrap or anything.it needs nitrogen to decaying.and when they getting burried scrap used nitrogen from soil.but if you decay scrap on land it consumes nitrogen from air and compost fast.from your method I think Quantity of N2 in soil getting less.
