Making compost from garden and other wastes, the principles and some results

I explain green and brown ingredients, using coffee and other wastes including roots of perennial weeds and blighted leaves. What size pieces to add, what temperatures you need and may expect. How long to leave heaps before turning or using, I show you compost in different stages, of varied age and moisture content. For a review of greens and browns in summer compost making, see this 2020 video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZtMsEylZvqw For more detail of the turning process see my four minute time lapse https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPcYXGqt9CQ.
