Complete guide start to finish on composting. This is the most basic and simple way to compost. In this video you will learn: - Benefits of Compost on soil / plants - What items you can compost - What you shouldn't compost - How to build a compost pile - How long it takes a compost pile to break down I don't overcomplicate anything here. It is just what to do and how to do it. I've been composting for about 5 years, and make 4-6 large piles every year. *NOTE* - I didn't think I needed to say this in the video, but any sawdust you use should come only from unfinished, air-dried or kiln-dried wood. Do not use sawdust from plywood, mdf, osb, particle board....etc. Only natural wood! If you have any questions, please ask them in the comments.
