A More Sustainable Adventure

Making compost from garden and other wastes, the principles and some results

By letter2self on January 29, 2023



I explain green and brown ingredients, using coffee and other wastes including roots of perennial weeds and blighted leaves. What size pieces to add, what temperatures you need and may expect. How long to leave heaps before turning or using, I show you compost in different stages, of varied age and moisture content.
For a review of greens and browns in summer compost making, see this 2020 video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZtMsEylZvqw
For more detail of the turning process see my four minute time lapse https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPcYXGqt9CQ.
For spreading compost see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OoUANPgCHRA, and for my explanation of when to spread compost and how much to use see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJhGIrqKs1k.
