ABOUT US:
Hi, I’m Kaitlyn! Welcome to my kitchen – where I make easy, entertaining, and technique-based videos on cooking and baking. My goal is to give you the tools and knowledge to have confidence in the kitchen and learn to cook for yourself and your family!
Thank you for your continued love and support! I love you!!
With love, Kaitlyn Taylor
you’re so pretty ! thank you for the tips and the tutorial :))
Good for you and thanks for spreading the knowledge. I love how you have a Kim K look but then you’re all garden chic! Lol very cute. Thanks.
Does anyone know, do you have to turn the compost and how often do you change it out and restart your build?
Great video, Kaitlyn. This may be a dumb question but, if you keep adding the scraps, how do you get the soil back out of the bin? Won’t you always have a layer of fresh greens preventing you from getting at the soil?
You are too cute! Thanks for the great info! I’m going to start my bin this weekend. You’ve inspired me to make a video about it for my little channel too! Thank you!
Very good. So then what do we do next ? Do we turn it ? Can we add more food scraps ? How long does it take until we can use it ?
This look like half way compost and other half way worm compost, but regular compost needs to be activated and it will smell like ammonia or something else depending how is done , better to do it outside.
worm compost "can be a lot more cleaner" and be keep inside . I do both but I will never compost inside my house or close to my house.
Love this name twin!! Can’t wait to start my own compost bin!
Can you use brown paper bags if you don’t have dried leaves?
How big should the holes be?
Girl you could have gotten that bin from dollar general
Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you, Kaitlyn.
Thanks! Do you worry about plastic leaching?
4:26 oh yeah
You should do a video on worn castings. They work a bit better on gardens than compost does. Dont get me wrong compost is great. Also great video
I came for the compost bin and stayed for the random shirtless guy
I think the point of having a compost bin in the kitchen is to give food scraps an aeration. But you sealed it in a plastic bag to ?
can you add shredded white paper for the 2nd layer?
how long does it usually take before you can use the soil?
I have maybe a silly question, but I’m brand new to this and don’t know what I’m doing. When you fill your counter compost bin, do you take it and put it into the large bin outside? Or do you need to save everything for a brand new bin? (Not even sure if that makes sense lol). Thank you for the awesome and helpful video!
How long should I keep the compost in the box?
How long do you leave it in the bin until it’s ready to use?
Do you have to turn it ever few days?
Lmao yo what is this If I knew there was the bin there would have been no need to watch this but is was pretty educational
Earth Day project for me! Yay. Thanks!
Now who says a woman can’t use power tools
How long does it take to ready
So once you have done this do you then need to mix it up every so often?
doesnt look like shes used a drill b4
I love you bb
Next time I report my plants , I going to make sure to look as cute as you ❤️ thank you for sharing !
Me and my brother convinced everyone in our
Family to do this it’s fun and good for everything
Getting my little house soon and planning on doing lots of gardening can’t wait to try this out thank you!!!
That is a lot of plastic bags used. Why not re-use shopping bags, cereal bags to reduce the waste?
Will it works if I used a Pringles can ?
You saved me a bundle! I’ve just subscribed and will look forward to your videos. (BTW you are a knockout!)
New subscriber!
How do you harvest the soil out from the compost bin?
Great idea. But ziplock bags are a big No-No. There are plenty of green alternatives.
Thanks
Lovely idea, but you’d need quite a lot of boxes this size to make enough compost for the garden. The air and water is for the microbes – that turns all your waste to compost – so the don’t die.
I just bought my bin this week. I can’t wait to try. Anyone know of a good place with a list of compostable items. I heard certain things shouldn’t be put in there like limes/lemons.
