Compost in 14 -21 days & How to make a Tumbler Bin Composter

This video shows how to make an inexpensive compost tumbler bin for under $10.00. I also give tips and briefly explain how to make compost in 14-21 days.

This is the first of several videos I'll be uploading of my organic garden, from composting, to germinating the seeds I sell, to maintaining my organic garden and until the harvest day. Everything starts with Compost making.

Hey, I am not a pro, nor intent to teach others what they already know. I am just showing the way I garden in this beautiful Caribbean Island of Puerto Rico. Anyone can compost at home.

Taking in consideration some viewers still have "dial up" internet connections, I tried to keep my video to under 4 minutes. If the pictures are running too fast for you, please feel free to click "pause" so you can read at your pace. If your don't like the background music, please turn off the sound in your computer.

In my next video, I will explain when to use dry and raw manure, and other ways to compost.

With everything said, I truly hope this video motivates you to start composting at home. Hey, I used to trash 4 garbage bags weekly...now only one. Composting not only saves me several $$ in water and fertilizers, but I am also contributing to fight our terrible Global Warming. Wouldn't you do the same?

All my videos are or will be written in English and Spanish.

Enjoy!

[Bongosmania]

I thought you were viewing MY VIDEO because YOU were interested in learning on how to compost in 21 days? correct me if I'm wrong......

[nellynell77]

i dont know if i believe in global warming and being green but i do believe in being self reliant loved the video

[Bongosmania]

@nellynell77 ---thank you nelly! i love it 2 :-)

Many people don't know that human urine is almost sterile, unlike the solid waste (poop!) that has lots of dangerous bacteria in it. So yes, you can go ahead and use clean urine in your compost with no worries.

@Raoena ---imagine all those minerals going down the drain! wow--- what a terrible mistake. Our plants & compost, love diluted clean human urine. I so much agree with you! :-)

@nsgibson You're a moron. This person can't write in English perfectly? So what? How many languages other than English can you write in? How many can you speak fluently? How many videos have you posted in something other than your native language?

Thought so...

The poster of this video is clearly at least bi-lingual. I understood all of it. Most of the rest of the world is multi-lingual. How about you?

You're a moron.

@flanksteak2 Yes it is.. Based on my experience..

[flanksteak2]

@AlbertLloydy Growing your own is never cheaper than purchasing.

GOOD CHOICE ON THE MOWER (HUSQVARNA) WITH DRIVE.

FEW PEOPLE REALLY BREAK DOWN "THINGS" TO BE COMPOSTED.

EITHER DON'T KNOW OR DON'T NEED TO.

IN ANY CASE, THE SMALL YOU BREAK IT DOWN IT """REALLY SPEEDS""" UP THE PROCESS.

LIKE ICE ON A HOT ROAD 10 LB. BLOCK VS 10 LBS OF SHAVED ICE.

I PESONALLY WOULD ADD SOME PREVIOUS COMPOST THE LIVE MICROORGANISMS ARE LIVE AND READY TO GO FOR A BETTER COMPOST AND BREAK DOWN.

I REALLY ENJOYED YOUR VIDEO.

IGNORE THE "" BURROS REBUZNANDO"" THEY ARE JUST BURROS.

@metamech except the barrel was already made, and the gasses from the compost are the very same that are created on the forest floor every single day. Where else do you suppose we get metal? You act as though composting causes greenhouse gasses, yet you mention your own compost pile? That is odd...

[joepurt]

Thanks for the awesome video. I had one question, do I need the bungs (stoppers for the holes) to keep the compost in, or will it be ok if those bungs are missing?

[metamech]

Neat! Except you're using gasoline and polluting our world. Emissions made from compost are bad as well. The plastic barrel has its own carbon footprint and the metal had to be mined, the ore raped from our earth.

On second thought, think I'll do it the old fashioned way and just rotate my large compost pile.

awesome video :)

[AlbertLloydy]

Great video!! People get too dependent on supermarkets nowadays they forget they can grow their own stuff and save a lot while helping protect the environment.

@nsgibson Don't be a douche bag...or be one...whatever.
