I seen a notice from Gardener Scott about this video. I'm a little behind on watching your videos, busy time. Great composting information. TFS 👍🌱 Happy Holidays! 🎅🎄✨🥰
Thanks hun this was epic!!! I can see why you were so excited :D :D :D I watch Dan cos he like me likes to grow things that technically "don't grow here" lol and Jessie is sweet been watching her for a while now :D :D :D We can't have any of those methods where we live due to restrictions but what we do do works a treat. I just stick all the scraps in the blender and then the slurry in a bucket and let it ferment. The ferment then goes into each container we are growing in and the plants love it :D :D :D
Because of the bins we already have in place I will be following Jessie's 3 bin compost. I think it will work the best for us. The others were very informative and later if we build more beds we will try the hugelkultur and I would love to try Vermicompost. Thanks for doing this. Cheers from the Interior of BC Canada 🇨🇦
Awesome video. Great collaborative effort all-round. I wasn't aware of the hot bin method being possible in a small garden space. Any information on where to get the hot bins and how much space they require? Thank you guys for putting this together, very informative👍
Hey, Yeah the hotbins are designed for small gardens and urban spaces. Pop over to www.hotbincomposting.com/ and you can get more info. And of course, I have heaps of videos of my journey with the hotbin.
Hello all, because I use darlek type compost bins (2) I have to always remember not just to stuff them but moisten and turn or mix my compost. I do leave them all winter to decompose without adding new stuff, I use hubbies house compost bin during winter. Thank you for sharing everyone ✌️🇨🇦🐝 safe and Merry Christmas 🎅🎄
@@eliandkate we have rats lol out here in the countryside the darleks seem to be better for keeping the compost safe from them nesting and city hall sells them cheap
Awesome team work and information. Thank you for putting all this together. Gardner Scott sent me a few weeks ago. I’ve enjoyed your channel so much! Merry Christmas! Blessings!
Gardener Scott is actually who referred me to your channel! I’ve just started composting this year. I had a tumbler but quickly needed more space so now there’s just a pile with a round of fencing to keep the deer out. It’s only taken a few months of “nooooo” when my husband’s about to throw away his banana peel for him to remember 🤣. Now I just have to figure out a better container for the kitchen. Right now I’m just using old yogurt containers but those fill up too fast for snowy days when I don’t want to have go all the way out to the compost pile (that’s just the laziness talking). Great video! Thank you for bringing all of these great minds together!
Thanks Guys one and all thoroughly enjoyed and very informative , I think I may try a version of 3 Bay Compost system for next year , Thanks again Eli & Jessie@plot37
@@eliandkate thanks guys , need to have a re shuffle of my raised beds , I was going to build another raised bed but might try and include a new 3 bay compost system in its place , thanks once again x
Combining bokashi and hot composting directly on top of the garden bed during the winter is a winner for me. No digging in the soil and no turning of the compost. Just let it be and use a gardening fork to add some air to the heap now and then(but no turning)
Eli your videos are cracking and thanks for putting this together, very interesting. I’m a very keen composter and have various darlek type bins on the go as I have a large plot and am moving more towards no dig…although there is something satisfying about having a good dig occasionally!. My question to you, as I am tempted to get a hot bin, do you get many worms in the compost you get out?
Absolutely no worms in the compost because the bin is too hot. It would kill them. You will occasionally see worm have made their way in if the binbhasnt been at temperature but they all make a bid for the lid to try to get out
Really appreciate this! I wonder what kinds are best for not attracting pests as the rats etc here in nz will kill native birds and I'd rather not feed them 😂.. Perhaps the closed container types..
Rats etc tend to be attracted to what you are composting, so as much as the sealed units may help it may be better to be conscientious about what you are putting into the compost pile.

@@eliandkate Eli Micky Mouse has breached my defenses and eaten all my broad beans just as they had sprouted! At least he had a good new year eve feed! Bless him! Hope he has belly ache today! Ho Hum!
@@eliandkate it's taken me a while to find good gardening channels from England. But I'm starting to find you all nice to be able to enjoy people from my own zone.
