Make Compost in ONLY 18 Days | Fast, HOT Composting 

It's a great workout too!

Also I expect you to flip that pile on camera every single time! Thats what we have come to expect from our favorite Gardening/Homesteading RU-vidr

I always collect my grass clippings for the first cut of the year. It cleans up leaves and small sticks I didn't pick up. I was going to start a compost pile, then I realized that some of the clippings were from the grass that borders my lawn on both sides. As well, we have a substantial ditch that drains quite a number of homes west of us. The problem is that most of the neighbors have commercial lawn treatments done multiple times per year. So I have great grass clippings where all the treated lawns drain, and my minimal clippings from my untreated weedy lawn. I only need compost for growing veggies. Must I save only my clippings, from areas not reached by drainage from treated lawns? I don't want to poison us.

Nice and quick. Thank you!

Interesting

Great information! Thank you so much!

So I have been stockpiling greens and browns along with all our house hold veggies/fruit wastes. That being said I have them all sitting on top of each other. Never turned it once . It's in semi lidded box about 4ft high, 6ft long 3ft wide. That has no bottom and a top made from old pallet. I have just been leaving sit for a few years adding to it and ignoring it. So after all that do you think I just fucked Up? I haven't used any I just keep adding to it. It gets my grass that I don't leave in the yard. all branches, autumn leaves , Turkey bones or chicken, etc we have all the worms and microbes all throughout the pile and get mushrooms popping out after heavy rains. I'm hoping I am sitting on a pile of great future soil

So, size DOES matter...(sorry, I couldn't help myself!) Thanks for the info, I'm starting a new pile tomorrow!

this stuff isn't really suitable for use as mix-in compost. this is really only good for on-the-top. With all that unfinished stuff in it, it will USE nitrogen.
