Tips on growing tomatoes and gardening from Dave’s Garden.
This is a good design, for a bin. I had a stationary bin but it was too difficult for me to turn the heavy materials. I agree that large capacity is necessary for quick or hot composting. I love my compostumbler. It’s bigger than the other bins and tumblers out there and it’s really easy to turn – even for my Dad who’s 69. He’s made 6 batches of compost in his compostumbler since he bought one 6 months ago!
Im on my 2nd batch of compost. Just added a 3rd trash can.
If you want to make good compost Pee on the heap, Urine is a very good activator. It animal urine mixed with straw that make animal manure so good
Great video.

We started gardening last year and I am looking to start composting next.
After installing a 4.2kW rooftop wind turbine system that’s worth looking at if anyone is interested. I posted that to look at. So, next we are going to start composting and using that in the garden. I like the bin.
have a outdoors (gardening fishing hunting) question? write it down on the coments on my channel or send me a message on my channel

Greetings! If you have any questions about gardening please take a look at my page, it’s very helpful and easy!
It is vital that no matter what the compost bin or style you feel is right for you, it is properly aerated and has a hole large enough for you to get your compost out of. In addition, your bin should be something that is convenient for you something that you can get to and from easily, and that will be practical for all of your gardening needs.
The best compost bin is on the open ground.
Mixture of materials to put in bin, it needs air. it needs to be kept warm, it needs turning every week ideally. new materials as often as possible. Pee on it often. (I jest not) With a rotating bin it is possible to make good compost in 8 weeks.
i have tried a couple of compost bins. To be honest i have gotten the best results just making a pile and leaving it, turning it every couple of weeks. Two drawbacks in my opinion of bins is air circulation and creating a barrier for insects to enter. i had a black compost bin which from what i read was a popular model. The contents never got hot. This baffled me for a long time then i decided to just make a pile in a sunny area. after a good rain it gets piping hot.
re ur size constraints, compost can be made in one gallon batches. also, it is newer technology to have a bin u can roll. like a garbage can. no turning plus easily it is taken to the area needed and no wheelbarrow/shovel work.
omg quit posting u suck
This is great! Thanks
this is very cool. I have a problem with critters…they dig underneath & get in that way —
Does this have a wood bottom? And if so does that keep the skunks & raccoons out??
no energy what so ever
That is a great compost bin.

oh no, you fed inorganic veggies to your chickens.
Hi Dave, Have you thought of looking at more current sustainable growing which allows you to grow year-round regardless of where you live? How about lowering overhead and producing your current production on one tenth the acreage. Not till, no weeds, no expensive equipment and bountiful harvest! I speak from forty years of experience. Come visit us Dave! I look forward to seeing you! The Garden Master and his Bucket Garden. TheGardenMaster com

@veedubyuh82 Chickens will always lay eggs, whether there is a rooster or not.

That’s about the best use for store bought tomatoes!
@hpd707 you can do it much cheaper with much less watts.
I had a tomato plant randomly grow in my front yard. Those were good tomatos. It didn’t need any maitanence.
I didn’t learn a thing!
Chickens will do the same thing if you drop your sandwich.
The chickens died soon after eating the supermarket tomatoes
the since of reward you will get from takeing this from seed to plant is worth any small cost of elc, omg the tomatoes r awlsome..go grow some
Thanks I have limited space but I am trying to start my tomatoes in doors this years with a grow lite.
All my tomatoes will be in large containers but thanks to people like you and youtube I am confident of a good harvest.
……LMAO………
@bullittkid I use six 40-watt cool-white lamps, two per fixture. That’s 240 watts. I can grow about fifteen robust seedlings to approximately 6 inches. I give the seedlings about 14 hours of light per day and they’re ready in four or five weeks.
At 10 cents per kWh, I’m spending 2.4 cents per hour and 33.6 cents per day. Over 35 days this will cost $11.76. If I grow 15 plants, that’s 78 cents per plant.
do u spend a lot of money on electricity with the grow lights?
