Complete guide start to finish on composting. This is the most basic and simple way to compost. In this video you will learn:
– Benefits of Compost on soil / plants
– What items you can compost
– What you shouldn’t compost
– How to build a compost pile
– How long it takes a compost pile to break down
I don’t overcomplicate anything here. It is just what to do and how to do it. I’ve been composting for about 5 years, and make 4-6 large piles every year.
*NOTE* – I didn’t think I needed to say this in the video, but any sawdust you use should come only from unfinished, air-dried or kiln-dried wood. Do not use sawdust from plywood, mdf, osb, particle board….etc. Only natural wood!
