  2. Black soldier fly larva are really super composters and they do it pretty fast; but, I think you might have to live in the South for this to be successful. I have used composting worms in the past; but, when my compost bin with the worms in it was put out in the pod back in January, the worms did not survive. I have been stirring the material in the bin and adding water if it becomes too dry. It is a slow process.

  3. I'm addicted to composting videos. My buckets are all on the balcony (near the kitchen) and I was battling maggots all through the summer. I now know to aerate, chop up, and add more browns (I chop up the thick cardboard boxes our water comes in). Apparently, peeing on your compost also acts as an accelerator – though I haven't done that, yet.

  4. I have been looking for a machine to help cut down my plants, branches and I ther compost contributions for years! What are you using? I've used my lawn mower and its bag, but that is tedious and I keep thinking there is something better but the DIY stores don't know what in talking about.

  5. I don't think I am good at composting, tried this past summer, it was a soupy disaster after we got torrential rains, I may need to place it in another area and start again….I really enjoy your videos…gives me hope and ideas thank you for taking the time to teach…I appreciate it! All the best from crazy NY!

  6. In the spring to wake up my compost piles I add some moldy oatmeal, some alfalfa pellets that I've soaked in water to break the pellet down and some powered sugar. The combo heats up nicely and there is compost in no time.

  7. I've been binge-watching your videos for a few weeks now. I feel so lucky to have found you! Thank you for taking the time to put out such great and practical material!
    I'm wondering if you'd consider doing a video showing us how to build and use a compost bin like yours? I have one of those barrel composters that I spin every week or so—it's so flippin' heavy! I like the idea of yours—and although I could probably figure out how to make it, I am uncertain how to use it—it looks deep. When you take the boards off to access your material, doesn't the in-process material in the other bins fall out? How are you able to aerate thoroughly when it's deep? Sorry if I sound ignorant—I am! Ha!

  8. I have been running cardboard through our crosscut paper shredder, and it makes very small pieces that compost quickly. I have a small barrel compost bin that makes aeration easier.

  9. I use a trash can with lots of holes drilled all over it + mesh covering those holes, acquired some wood chips + stored fallen leaves for brown input and more aeration. One of those smaller heavy duty tarps works well to dump it out and give the whole thing a good turning. just an idea for anyone searching for set up ideas. worked for me as it was low-cost.
