Whats up people. This page is all about gardening and other information about natural, healthy living and eating. I will also be chronicalling my weight loss journey.
Thank you for this video. I am starting my compost system today & I had been looking for a good video that explains how to get started. Now I feel like I am ready to begin! 😊
That's some good observation and diligence. You found their route of escape and waited for them to show. These things certainly don't care if we starve by them eating all our food.
This works. Soap had kept going back down to the container. The pump was working fine except the pump's internal valve went bad. This essentially replaces that valve. Now it works great. I moved the check valve closer to the pump.
Wish i had seen this video years ago. I bought a tumbler. It does work but most of the good nutrients drain out of it way too quickly when it's time to keep it moist. So i have a bucket under to collect the compost tea. I save it and add it to the areas I'm going to plant in over fall and winter even over the snow to help get that area nutrients to soak in the existing ground. Also i don't get as much compost as i need. I have these same totes so this is a game changer for me 5 years later😊 late is better than never so thank you so much!!
can you use 2 check valves instead of one? Is that silicone sealant used for kitchen sinks? Did you seal the hole you drilled in the large container of dish soap?
I do the even lazier man's method. I have less, way less holes, in my tote. I fill the tote all summer and top it off in August and again in November and then I don't touch it until May or June. I have the totes in a spot that gets winter sun. I might water them once or twice if I remember. Super lazy, takes forever, but the cycle works for me.
What i like about plastic pins is storage convenience plus you don't have to poke holes in it you can just put a lid on it and forget about it for months or years and eventually it will decompose down
Great video! I live in DFW area, so it is hot here most of the year, and this is the best compost method for me. I might add that I use the manual tiller from Amazon to mix it. I also tried to compost in a 32 gallon trash can, but it was very inefficient, too deep. 40-50 gallon bins are the best for me.
Thank You!! My dispenser was losing pressure even with a check valve but your advice to use silicone to seal the connection did the trick. This is the Best video for a soap dispenser installation that I've watched!!!!! 😊
