Thank you so much for explaining why the pile needs higher Temps.... To kill off seeds! ❤️ No one has explained that part! ❤️

This was fun to watch and Extremely informative! Most of all, I enjoyed the presentation. It was real. A video of an expert sharing what works! Thank you so much!

"Watch out youre stepping on the garlic!" sign of a true gardener. lol

Hands down the best compost video on YT. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. 🙏 I’ve bought the same geobins as a beginner composter.

Would love to see more videos from this master gardener I am sure he has lots of wisdom on growing and such ❤❤❤

Seriously the BEST composting video ever!! I've been looking at content on this subject for the past 2wks. To actually see it being done is extremely helpful!!! Thank you so much!!

I have found that by building tall piles and covering them to contain the heat, I get a much better result. When you make your pile as tall as possible, it acts like a chimney. Instead of wasting that heat right out the top, it stays in the pile, albeit further up. While it may only be around 125 at two feet, at four feet, it's in the 160 range. It will cook down much quicker. Also, shredding those leaves will make a huge difference, particularly since they are oak, which contains a lot of lignin. You're essentially trying to compost thin wood chips.

What a pro! I really enjoyed all of the science behind it. Let's get more videos with this guy!

Loved the way you showed how it is done. It seems a lot simpler for a novice urban gardener like myself than some of the other KZfaq videos that got so technical and use fresh manure 💩 . Thank you!

I love my Geobin. I didn’t think I would when I first set it up, but now I want a second one. So easy and tidy!

Excellent video! Thanks for the help. Those Ecobin setups are huge and affordable for anyone who wants to do this.

Wow 😮 that steam!!!! Amazing to see, very educational. Thanks for both of you.

Best compost video I have yet seen. Thanks for the great info!

Thank you so much! I never planted anything but I now I have a place to. I'm planting potatoes until I'm good at it.

I wish I could follow this guy. Thank you for sharing this video.

He needs to be my gardening role model.

Thanks, very informative. I've always saved grass clippings, but didn't know for certain how to incorporate food,manure etc. properly.

Very informative, exactly what I was looking for thanks!

This was very helpful. Thank you!

Love your video Danny. Well done. Clearly gives me the next steps I need, now that my 2 Geobins are full of leaves and starting to break down. Thx so much. You might have a career in acting! lol

This was a great video. Thank you..

Great explanation 😊

Thanks a lot and no questions 🌼

Great video.

Thank s for the info. I’m working on one or two.

Good sir I'm form nepal thank u sir

I’ve inherited a bunch of shredded leaves from a yard service. I have five hot piles going right now, with a ton of leaves still left. Unfortunately, after turning three of the piles last week I ended up in the ER with chest pain. Will see tomorrow if the cardiologist will let me keep turning my piles. (Tests show it wasn’t a heart attack 😊)

Fabulous!!

If you mow over the leaves first it will break down faster.

i think you just sold me on a compost tumbler.

Thank youu

HI! Good video for composting. Can you tell me where is a good place to buy straws? Thanks!

I do love using coffee grounds but it’s as good to use what you have

I have an apple tree, too many grass clippings and garden waste...do I still need to add cardboard.

Let the established pile cook about 5 days, then every 3 days, turn that pile inside out. Dry stuff goes on the inside, wet stuff goes on the outside. Keep everything moist, like a wrung out sponge. In about 30 days, you'll have a pile of compost that you can use. 🤗

Hey Emily, thanks for the video. It's about 4 months later, can you post an updated video to see how it looks now?

How long does it take to make compost by using this technique ? Thks.

What happens when it snows? Should the pile be covered?

Hi! Love this video! Can you turn the compost over right in the bin without unlatching the whole thing?

I would like to know what people do to keep tree roots out of their compost piles? I have put plastic down first before but that didn't work for very long.

What about when it rains ,and o did it but it seem like my last year grass looks like is growing roots in my compost

hello，where did you get sticks which can make the GEO bin stabilized

I Geo Bins. So easy. Has anyone tried connecting two of them to increase the size and get those hotter temps?

Whats name of black circle thing?

what if you don't have leaves and grass to begin??

Have you looked into using a Compost Crank? It's a bit less work than turning the whole pile.

Anyone know what those spikes are called?

Do u cover the pile? Please show how you start it.

the hotness needs air or it stinks. it looks like every time you turn it you add more greens to each layer and all the stuff from the original pile is considered browns now. is that right? also, please. do you have a recommendation of where to buy the stakes you're using and what size?

What size geobin?

my husband is again composting on the island as he is concerned about rats and or mice- what do you think?

Can you use would chips instead of leaves? I have a tree company that brings me the chips after they have chopped up trees.

I used to compost this way... converting to the Johnson Su bioreactor. Lots of info on KZfaq. Oak is also really hard to break down. When it stinks, it’s gone anaerobic, and that kills all the beneficial bacteria and fungi. Compost meds to be aged or matured, not prepared “as fast as you can”. Professor Johnson and his wife, Dr. Su make this point quite clearly. Coffee grounds are good - they are quite high in nitrogen... and the filters are great carbon source.

So are grass clippings considered Carbon, or Nitrogen....? If they dry out from green to brown...do they change from nitrogen to carbon

could i use grass instead of kitchen waste?

Would ash be considered a nitrogen component?

How often do you turn the compost?

Is it ok to have sticks in your compost?

I use to think the same thing, more girth = more heat, but that’s not necessarily true.

Is chicken manure nitrogen?

Should be 30 parts carbon to 1 part nitrogen. In the spring and summer use cardboard (free) or pelletized animal bedding ($6/40 pound bag at tractor supply) for a carbon source.

Dumb question, Why can’t you do 4x4x4? Looks like you have plenty of room. What’s up? Thanks

Can't hear u properly

a few months?.... doesn't it only take one month when you keep flipping it like that?

I have 2 cats that generate lots of dirty kitty litter. Can that be composted?

3:1? That's more like 100:1

Tractor.

We'll done @emilymay3228! I teach composting occasionally and this video mirrors the most effective way to supercharge the process for fastest results. Recommend summarizing the key points for short-attention span watchers.
