How to Compost without making a pile – Farmer Rishi
Farmer Rishi goes through a few pile-free methods to keep your organics out of the landfill.
Before I had a pile, I started by burying my food scraps, then I started using worms, now I use compost piles with worms added.
All of these methods definitely work- try them out and see which one you like the best.
Compost Contaminants
I just finished filling in the beds with 15 month finished compost, and the contamination wasn’t as bad as I thought.
Besides the produce labels and the blue strand of plastic from my old tarp, I think the rest of it was all swept up when collecting leaves off the street.
I use my finished compost for horticultural purposes, and I double-screen the stuff I use for my cilantro and basil.
Plastics are everywhere… it would be crazy to think I could remove 100% of it from my compost, but I’m definitely satisfied with what I have.
Composting is always worth it 🙂
