This video is about hot composting and how I use this method to make compost for my garden and allotment. It includes my recipe for making home compost, and at the end of the video, five tips to make hot composting work.
The biggest advantage of hot composting is how quickly it makes compost compared to a normal compost pile, and how easy it is do. My hot compost can be ready in 4 to 6 weeks, giving me a plentiful supply of compost to use around my garden and allotment. Some of my uses for hot compost include: using as soil conditioner, by which I mean mixing it with old compost from pots, or soil in my beds, to replenish nutrients; providing a rich mulch for fruit bushes, applied in the spring to slowly release nutrients through the growing season; and adding to the planting hole of crops that love a rich soil, like courgettes and other squashes.
