How to transform your garden pathways into productive compost makers
In short: If you lack space for traditional compost bins, your garden paths might hold the solution. This video demonstrates a method to turn pathways into effective compost sources to mulch your beds and pots.
Inspired by a concept from Liz Zorab, this approach addresses the space constraints of small gardens. By utilizing pathways, you can generate enough material for mulching, provided you are willing to accept a slight change in aesthetics.
The video covers practical implementation, including a formula for calculating compost volume per area, protecting wooden beds, and managing hard ground. It also explores how to add materials, inoculate the process with biology, and techniques to speed up decomposition.
