Green Isn't Good Enough

For those of you looking for a super easy way to compost your kitchen and yard waste.  Then it is time to look at effective microbes to do all of the work for you.  In this cold composting system, which works anaerobically (without oxygen), there is no turning of the compost to cause decomposition.  You just apply the effective microbes to the organic waste from your household and then let the microbes do the work for you.  I have set up plastic lined compost bins in my yard using discarded pallets.  I just screw 4 pallets together into a box and line it with either weed cloth or in my case some left over tarps I had from building my house.  Then I found some 5 gallon buckets with tightly sealing lids to start my compost from the kitchen in.  As I add organic waste the bucket, I spray a little activated EM1 or bokashi to the bucket.  Once full, I let it sit for 21 days to let it ferment in the tightly sealed bucket, then I dump it into the outdoor pallet compost site.  I usually keep adding waste from the yard and other neighbors for 3 months.  I keep the pile covered with carpet or a tarp to decrease oxygen to the pile and let it sit for 90 to 120 days after my last deposit to the pile.  Then I start a new compost pile in another pallet constructed bin.  After the time is up, I take the front off the bin and wheel the waste to my garden beds as really rich dark compost.  No turning just have to wait.  If you get enough material from neighbors, you can produce all the compost that you need for your gardens.  Check out their website and videos and Youtube.
