Bury Kitchen Scraps Directly in Garden and This Happens 

Same here. I planted a nail and now have a crowbar, works a treat.

😁

Just a SILLY QUESTION,,,ARE YOU SELLING THE,,, TOOTH PIC'S. HE HE ONLY A JOKE X

@@e210dall3 🤣🤣🤣nice one

I totally agree, you can get to the point where you barely need to buy anything, you use the seeds from prior crops, make your own compost and collect it from neighbours as well, you can even collect rainwater for watering and make compost tea for extra fertilizer. There is something so empowering and gratifying about making something that feeds you and your family from what other people just throw away and knowing that you are giving to the planet more than you are taking from it.

Yes lots of gm foods, and chemicals on food we eat.

​@@chelseaclerke3582 what is compost tea? How do you make it?

Amen to that sister!! 👍👍

Lol u and every girl.

Huadong Feng 😂 exactly how I am. I try to watch them grow every couple of hours as if they made a fruit already 😆

😂😂😂

@@13glitchez Me too!😂😂😂

You won’t if you plant too much

@@chaixiyao Yep, I started planting basil this year for making pesto, at the beginning, I was watching them 20 times a day. and they just won't grow, they now grow like weed in my yard...

how about rat.. dont the come to mess

My neighbor threw all her kitchen scraps in a open pile in her tomatoe garden, ncluding chicken bones. Within a few days Rats came over to her kitchen scrap buffet. She had the balls to call the city rodent control on me, telling the city rodent inspector that rats were living in my garage. Welp, the rat patrol came out to my home and wanted to inspect the outer perimeters of my garage, and found no visible indication of pest infestation. But I pointed out my neighbors rat buffet, and he almost had a stroke. He stormed over to her front door, got her to come out and accompany him to behind her garage where her tomato garden was located. As I was standing at the fence that separated her property and mine when Mr. Rat patrol told her to immediately clean up her kitchen garbage in his presence, or he was going to give her a $250 dollar ticket. She asked about her complaint about my garage harboring rats - and he told her that my garage has no rodent problem but her yard has. He informed her that SHE was the problem that attracted rat's in her backyard. She was really pissed at him for not giving me a ticket, but threatened to give her one instead. So people living in the city, please keep an eye on your kitchen scraps used as composting material.

@@rickprusak9326 It's the chicken bones not the uncooked plant latter usually. Things that are cooked with milk or other fats attract rodents. Just boiled veg without anything added not so much. Any meat is bad because of rodent and other pest attraction. It works but you don't want to try it in a populated area or anything near your own home or gardens period. Even to compost.

Rats don't like healthy things. You put a strawberry out in the garden and they leave it alone. You put a peanut butter on bread and they will come. They do not eat vegetable and fruit scraps. They most certainly will eat meat scraps as they need the high-calorie and proteins @@rickprusak9326

I think he is a reptile human

I saw him blink 10 times

1:37 he blinks ........ I don’t know what you’re talking about

😆 it’s a superpower

@@youreawesome1251 "Scientists have shown that the average person blinks 15-20 times per minute. That's up to 1,200 times per hour and a whopping 28,800 times in a day-much more often than we need to keep our eyeballs lubricated."

Exactly! Most videos scared the heck outta me lol

Give me more info

Whoa, so that's why the grounds get a white fungus! Thanks, I was throwing many away before

@@danieloconnor732 I've learned so much in a week from RU-vid, and it's not even gardening season yet and I'm making my own compost

Just be careful around animals/pets as the grounds are poisonous to dogs and who knows what other animals.

Daniel O'Connor u

I love gardening but may I ask what does shredded paper do? How does that help?

@@marthaz1183 Its made out of cellulose, which is natural fiber, containing ~40% carbon. When it decomposes, its filling soild with carbon, and that balances out the nitrogen coming from green leaves and trimmings.

what about the ink printed on the junk mail???? is that beneficial to the plants and is that safe to consume in ur body?????

@@terrelloverton1701 They say that the shiny magazine papers are bad ones, because of the plastic layer covering them, but the paint is so thin, it will not cause a problem.

😂

Good idea!👍🏻

That’s a good idea. I could do that for my vermicomposting

feed My Sheep What is included in your scraps? Paper towels as well?

This will still attract worms.

@@matheya good

Great idea, i don't use paper bag because sometime i have tomatoes and other scraps with juices and the paper bag get wet and tears from the bottom. I recycle plastic.

Daisy Creek Farms Yeah I have that issue too but there always seems to be some scrap paper that needs recycling so I put that on the bottom of the bag first, either layered or scrunched up....it works great kinda 3 birds with one stone....I was GIDDY when I thought of it 😁

That's great! will try it!! :)

I keep a covered 1 gal. ice cream pail in the kitchen to add all manor of scraps to & when full (or getting rather ripe) will take it out to the garden for burial. Rinse & repeat.

Cin Mor I also do the same thing

Very good info

I have several volunteer potato plants this year. 😊

😱 what does he mean by saying black gold?

Lmao

🤣🤣👌

@@millysanchez7137 oil lol

Black is colour, gold mean very good for soil, plant

Or you could eat it and then just throw your shit on the garden🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃🐒🐒🙋🙋

Kunta Kinte....Google "night soil".

Has anyone ever tried this process?

along with some water in the food processor.

...and, I've been taking time to hand chop everything to about half an inch. Hmmm, pulsing in the food processor instead....

What climate do you live in?

I compost and i end up with plants growing out which i transplant....and i got worms galour: )

saaaaaame here

did you take them from someone elses garden?

Daisy Creek Farms that eating habits sounds like mine

Even if you dont have worms having food for them. Will draw them. And it will moat likely be red wiggler worms ...and not earthworms

:-)

Akasha, red wigglers are just a specie of earth worms. There are many species of earthworms en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eisenia_fetida

Akasha number five, All the vermiculture people tell you that red wrigglers wont be happy in the garden. I have no idea why this would be, and i have seen a few in my compost bin. They might mean in the open garden? In a worm composter they do eat TONS, composting constantly. OTOH, earthworms are much larger, so "eating half their weight" might mean they're on par in the compost bin. Just food for thought.

I started my compost bin April 6, 2020. I try and turn it every weekend. I recently realized that there are no earthworms in my compost...is that a bad thing?

I do that for making broth for soups. Now winter soup days are over, I think I’ll thaw them out, run them through my food processor and try this. I’m at least 4 weeks away from planting. I’ll be interested in seeing how much will decompose before our last frost date.

Damn that's smart! Thank you ! No more smelly kitchen 😂

worms will eat them, but the castings the leave won't be as rich as if they only ate and processed organic stuff.

why wouldnt you think so? paper is organic

I thought the bleaching of the paper towels would be bad for the compost.

The Carnager - From what I understand it is. But since it's being eaten by the worms, it'll be reduced to nothing and still come out in the castings, only it won't be as rich. I've seen comparisons done on youtube where they show the castings from worms that had nothing but natural stuff and against worms that had paper and the castings were much lighter in color than the castings with natural stuff.

@@henryettoit897 No nutrients, bleach, sizing, maybe chemical inks - fun stuff like that unless you buy health food store kind.

Michael Hayward can you put egg shells?

Egg shells and coffee grounds are great for composting

@@richellek.2303 (egg shells: I find it's best to dry them out fully and then you can easily break them up into much smaller pieces (e.g. scrunch them up in a paper bag).

Richelle Krancher of course but if ambitious dry and break them up. Smaller is better

@@mikewellwood1412 or in a blender

I remember reading once not to put any bleached paper into your compost, just unbleached paper?.??

@@sharonkriese863 Yes Ive heard that also. White paper is a no for me. Only brown. And news paper since they used some type of vegetable oil for the ink I read.

You may be right but there is something freaky in the way he looks at you

I need to move to Florida I would love that. I live n north Carolina and obviously it gets super cold here.

He is, isn't he :))

I totally agree that he is handsome.

He's Indian though ;)

Do we need to pour some liquid decomposer?

@@gudavida7154 Just keep the compost pile moist to help speed up the process. If the pile is set up outdoors, wet and add all the materials layer by layer in the pile first. Perhaps the rain water might work well later on but you still should check on the pile from time to time to ensure moisture exists in the pile. I did once make compost in a six inch square shaped flower pot successfully two years ago. Good luck.

wow! that's amazing!

9b. Me too!!

Wow awesome!!!!

Do you allow the scraps to fully compost or do you plant before the process is complete?

where are you? I am in Island Grove, Alachua County.

Was trimming my papaya plant today and was so focused on the new leaflettes growing that I almost missed the baby frog chillin under a leaf, hiding from the sun. Too cute

The first time I had papaya fresh in a smoothie...o got an immediate allergic reaction and could drink more than a few sips... Since then I've begun having discomfort from certain melons and bananas, I was fine with B4...it's so strange to me, I've never had any problems with anything really before that day...I wanted to add a superfood to my diet ,now im down some faves... At least I still have all my citrusy fruits..

I was wondering who was making holes in the soil of one of my pots. I watched one day as a toad made it's way up the stairs and buried itself in the soil. I guess that's one way to oxygenate the roots.

Susan, he warned about disease though if you plant there too early , did he mean disease for consumer of plants, the humans, or for the plants themselves? I have no problem at all here, but would you recommend layer..sand then food scrap , then another layer of sand etc... in that case it will be big heap!! because if every day I make a layer of the scrap.. or I just dig and add more in the same layer of the day before scrap.. in that case when to stop to allow the last scrap to be composted.. I always have that doubt! thanks Susan

Let that poor boy eat your scraps 😭😂

@@AlexxWretched yeah! That's what i thought! 😂

Tirth Kapoor I do bokashi compost

Lol

it says males blink lesser than females.

Kate, you wanna him and his wife home for couple of night stands??

lcagee ... @ Icagee, if you see that bear give him this number 412 391 9500 and I will teach it how to form its hand you know like how a human does to open a jar at no cost, only a little time.

I was just wondering about blending the kitchen scraps! thanx

Do you do this to containers that have plants in them already with no earthworms?

@@lesliearellano958 I don't do it to my containers as they are too small. But when I moved here, I would stop at the local bait store (I live near a big fishing lake) and buy a box of worms and scatter them about. In a new house, the soil was essentially "dead', now, every time I put a spade into the ground, I almost always pull out at least one worm!

Me too, I have never been so excited about garbage! 🤣🤣🤣 Have fun and best of luck, this does work, I was just too lazy to do it before...

Our neighbor's heap brought the bears.

I quit doing it after my garden was overrun with hordes of small black ant colonies.

🐻

If you blend the scraps, this is not an issue anymore :-)

Lol I didn’t realize I had already watched this😂 I move my compost occasionally to help my whole yard. Should probably do it in a bin & use a tool to spread it around

Luis Morgan how to avoid insects and pests from entering inside the kitchen scraps and inside the buried scraps?

then u need to dig deeper if u can. we had our dog who would dig up our kitchen scraps!

yes please see my new comment below ... same thoughts.

@Iceman, I live in the desert and don't have worms, it's a volcanic decomposed granite area.

:)

Thank you so very much for your info since I moved into my home just last month was wondering if could start this month of the cold season here

This is what I do! Mt garden dirt is BLACK! I grew 10 feet tomato plants. Honestly, that was bad. 5 plants took over that corner.....POINT IS! This was very helpful to good black soil.

Great idea! Thanks for sharing!!

but if you dig a deep hole it is hard work.. which I am welling to do .. but smaller because I need only a big garbage can full of compost every year .. or 2 third of that.. but to turn it how if it is deep? every time you add little scrap you have to cover it with sand or only leaves? how you turn it once in awhile.. I have very mlid winter 10 degree, 50f for 2 months .. but do I have to turn it once in a while and if so how if it is a meter deep

No idea if the water and energy used in production far outweighs any water saved to be honest.

The production and transport of paper towels makes them the worse choice over cloth as those can be used for pretty much ever

Is ok to bury cooked foods also?

It's the worms that already live inside of you throughout your life that eat you after your death.

I does the same thing😁

@@jameelsazam2827 I don't know I'm still learning 😅

@@yenfr5306 yeah I learnt that too today. Went straight in the garden and dug a hole🤣

really ?

Me 2

@Clinton A you silly!lmbo!

Animal abuse

@@نادرالیراحمان u wot??

Chickens are beautiful birds

Yes...with their front feet

They have tunnels underground

@@somrotdensmith3935 😂

Only if you add meat scraps, bread, dairy etc.Common sense rules.

@@kalayne6713 actually, a pair of possums came into my yard after local fires. They love fruit the most. Grapes, figs and apples, and my homemade challah bread with no preservatives. I put a cut up Costco bun in the pan I put out for them, and they wouldn't touch it. Spoiled.
