Comparing cooler with warm composting methods and results

How to make and use compost in winter, when it's colder and there is less material to add. It's possible to keep adding to your heap, but results will be much slower than in the summer. My climate is temperate oceanic and the temperature is often above freezing in winter, so the garden still happens, just slowly! I show you heaps of different sizes, how we turn them once only, and you see the imperfect looking results. We finish with a look at my wormery, or worm farm. You see how even in cool conditions, thousands of Eisenia fetida (red, or tiger worms) are quite close to the surface and still eating. But less fast than in summer, and soon we shall remove the worm casts beneath them (compost) for use in propagation, see link to video. 00:00 Introduction - including what happens when compost gets icy in winter 00:53 My 7-bay system - I explain how we use it with 5 bays in use mostly 04:02 Some examples of what we add to the heaps 04:25 Having a pipe in heaps to enable an air-hole 05:02 A look at the profile of a heap 05:42 Protecting mature compost from rain 06:25 A look at my pallet bays - including when to cover, and the temperature 08:27 Using a turning tool to get more air in the heap, and mix materials 09:07 Dalek bins, and why I recommend them 09:52 The wormery - I show you the high value compost it produces 13:20 More videos on compost making, and info in my No Dig book https://www.charlesdowding.co.uk/prod...
