You are a very good teacher. And even though I have composted for many years, I learned something today.

When I had a garden,I used every type of composting.Trench composting in some areas and with some materials,above ground compost piles,layer composting where the ground was covered with partially composted materials and also compostable materials in layers added from time to time and in the case of acid loving plants,laying down spruce branches which keeps cats off the area and stops any digging by them while at the same time the needles fall off on the ground and slowly decompose in an acid way.I used to drag all the hedge trimmings and such to the curb for disposal.I started a deep hole,three feet deep by 18" wide and started to bury that stuff instead,along with the spruce branches after the needles fell off.I would add used biodegradable cat litter and sand used as litter as well to the hole and bury everything with just the subsoil.The topsoil went into beds where it did more good.Whenever I dug up that pit I would find lots of worms and I would feed them to the fish in my small and larger ponds.The dirty water was great for my plants and didn't go to waste when I did a water change.The more organic matter I added,the better things grew.I also had wood ashes from a friend's wood burning stove and they were great for the soil.Trench composting is underrated and is very beneficial for the soil.The no till fanatics are making a big mistake by saying Never to use it.Both types of approaches have there merits and can benefit the soil.

My exfatherinlaw was a farmer from the Philippines. In San Francisco, he had a very small garden. Yet he had fruit trees, Chayote (a vine plant), Bitter Melon, green beans, tomatoes, onions, and a number of Philippine vegetables. I was always amazed at what he would bring in for dinner. And kitchen scraps always went straight out into the garden, daily. He buried them! No compost pile. He had no room for it. Youre video and technique is the closest thing I've seen to what he did. Thanks for the great instructions. Easy to understand and follow!!!

Wow! This is the first time I've ever really understood how composting could work and be a win-win. Not only do we lower heaving nasty garbage into huge landfills, we improve our own soil and get a bit of exercise too. Nobody ever made it so clear what to materials to use and how to use them. THANKS!

Judging by the number of subscribers/videos on your channel, it would appear that you create content not to monetize, but to enrich the community by sharing valuable information. I really appreciate the amount of time and effort that went into this video. Very well done! Having said that, personally, I have a heavy clay based soil and follow a similar method. Since I have a small family and I would like to see results as fast as possible, I visit local markets and fruit vendors in order to acquire their waste and integrate into my compost holes. I bought my current home about a year ago and even after this short period, I have seen an incredible improvement in the quality of my soil, not to mention the benefits of reducing the amount of waste my household produces.

Informative! I’m a trench composter too, although still hesitant about adding any animal by products or fats. It helped to see you sort through the junk mail. I’ve been hesitant to add that because of dyes, bleach and potential slowness of it breaking down. I also appreciated the 3S rule. My compost is all lined up along a fence rather than spread through the garden. But using something to mark a point where you left off is a good idea I can use! Thanks!

Then he would throw in some little sticks and burn them over not in the scraps. Then he would close up the hola with dirt. I look forward to applying your suggestions.

Eternity With Jesus - That´s another myth. Compost is not "just" the labor of worms.

It should be avoided in compost culture. Prolific food web will be beneficial for the end result. ;-) Cheers
