I am SO GRATEFUL to stumble upon your channel! 66yrs old and still trying to figure out the best way. I think I found it!! Thank YOU for sharing!! in NE Kansas
Robbie do I just miss your harvesting videos or what? It seems that you are always planting things or composting but where iare the harvesting videos.?
So, you just put the kitchen waste in the plant pot and keep it open and it will turn to compost in three days? Sorry you actually didn't explain what to do after putting them in the pot?
Hahahahaha how lovely . WHat love of nature and her ways and scraps haha…and how indeed will you make videos if Gary ( like myself ) can't tell if the camera's on or off ? hahahahaha Thanks guys
I found a throw out vegetable bin at the 99cent store; but I am concerned that the majority of these vegetables are gmo. What about that? WIll it compromise my plants if I use it?
I just wanted to thank you for all the great content you let all of us know. This is my first year gardening and I planted 8 green bean plants in a tote, and all of them had died, I think due to the temperatures and humidity we've been getting this year. So I got on here and found a couple of your videos about how to compost in place and so I decided to put some kitchen scraps in a old flower pot and added 5 green beans seeds to see what would happen. And after just a couple of days, the last 4 plants in the tote have started growing more and doing much better and the new seeds are slowly but surely making their way up out of the soil in the pot. Please keep up the great videos. U and Gary have given me some ideas of things that I plan on doing to my garden in the near future. Hope you have a wonderful week. Blessings to you from Kentucky.
Compost in place is great, I blend it with a blender only because I am addicted to blending things…but I know a lady that used to just dump her kitchen scraps directly in her garden and toss a little dirt on top to prevent bugs but her soil was amazing.
Just love watching your videos! I’m in the very cold zone 5b, and have hard, clay soil. Your videos have helped me so much. I’m growing more food every year! I also grow tons and tons of flowers and native plants. The compost has helped them all thrive! I didn’t think I could have a food garden without having loads of top soil brought in, but here we are! If you’re new and reading these comments, I hope you give it a try!
Robbie, I watched this again to reminisce how I found your channel years ago when I wanted to know if others are composting in place like me. Now I'm composting and growing in totes instead of big pots and growing my own greens. I found out about walking onions, dazzling blue kale, sprouting broccoli and tree collards among others and best of all hummingbirds and cuphea. Thank you, Robbie and Gary reminds me of my Father by his demeanor and the way he makes things easy. 🤗
You've been such an inspiration to me. I found your channel in 2020 and started my first garden. I live in a triplex style apartment building in a small complex of similar units and so I have a bit of yard space but not much. I have made 3 small raised beds, but also have quite a few container gardens made from totes and buckets. I just put a new pot out in one of my raised beds to compost in place. I have allowed and encouraged dandelions and clover growing all crazy for a while now and the improvements to the soil compared to when I started is astonishing. The soil right around the outside edge of my beds are even improved significantly compared to other areas around the yard which is very heavy, compact clay. I can just press my digging fork straight down through the soil in my beds, but about 5 feet away the ground is so hard that it's a struggle. That's how my raised beds started out. I removed the grass (which I used in the bottom of my containers), and forked the ground to incorporate a tiny bit of garden soil the very first year, but other than that I haven't bought any amendments or done any digging or turning of the soil. I've simply used dried leaves, chopped leaf mold with some worm castings from near the fence in the backyard, grass clippings, plant trimmings, and compost-in-place pots as well as using the clover and dandelions as cover crops/chop and drop. It's so therapeutic to feel like I'm healing the soil, providing a home for tons of bugs as well as frogs and also growing healthy food.
I love the compost in place idea. When I planted my fruit trees, I dumped food scraps in the hole, threw a little native soil over that, and dropped the trees in and buried it. I used a coffee ground mulch on top. Maybe I should plant everything on top of food scraps. I live out in the country where sanitation service Dan be pricey, so I like being able to recycle as much garbage as I can, so I even use animal protein waste and slick cardboard. I try to reuse everything except for plastic.

Do you get flys around the kitchen scraps?
Wow! That’s easy… but do they smell bad?
Hi,it's small amount that's the reason it took less time to convert ,so every 3days we have to make, boring
This is my type of composting. Big Papi style.

So when we keep it inside the house because is not time to plant yet.. do we need to keep it wet? Do we add water?
Did you add a little soil on top? Love your videos ❤
I figured out the same thing. Makes the whole process less hassle. Single don't have time to waste.
I get it know Robbie and Gary, Compost in place!!! Peace out.
How easy is that. Thank you so so much
are you doing ONE compost in place with the kitchen scraps or are you ADDING kitchen scraps multiple times to one particular bucket?
Did you put holes in bucket? I’ve asked this many times
Be Gentle with him Robbie, He's just a Man.
So, you just put the kitchen waste in the plant pot and keep it open and it will turn to compost in three days? Sorry you actually didn't explain what to do after putting them in the pot?
My question is I am using cloth pot instead of tub. Can I make hole at the bottom so the worms will come in??
Hahahahaha how lovely . WHat love of nature and her ways and scraps haha…and how indeed will you make videos if Gary ( like myself ) can't tell if the camera's on or off ? hahahahaha Thanks guys
I made a in ground compost bin, works great, check it out on my channel on how to make one
"I can see this is not going to work" LOL.
I found a throw out vegetable bin at the 99cent store; but I am concerned that the majority of these vegetables are gmo. What about that? WIll it compromise my plants if I use it?
❤️❤️❤️
did you leave the white container open no lid or did you have lid on it in your kitchen?
What about hot coleslaw it's got mayonnaise in it or something do you compost that too? Thank you so much ❤️ may God bless y'all.
Great job I love it I love your channel I learned a lot from you thank you so much!!!! 💞👍❤️😇🌺🌷💚🦋🌿
Great gardening tip! You're pretty cute Robbie. LOVE the exercise clip! Thanks a bunch.
Do you need to put special worms in them? Or can I use garden worms from our yard?
You are an amazing lady!

Robbie you guys are wonderful. I am still waiting for your cooking recipes. I know you have some secrets I could use in cooking.
I love your humor in editing this video!! I started my first COMPOST IN PLACE July 2022!! So excited.
No way that turned to compost in 3 days..
