What is up my friends? It's Kevin from Epic Gardening here. Today we're back with another

episode and an interesting question. You know my friend Mark over at self-sufficient me. He's an Australian

Youtuber. A lot of people call him the Russell Crowe of

gardening, but I actually call him the brussel crow of gardening. He's a

really cool guy. We've been talking a little bit lately and he recently had a video on his YouTube channel that went really, really viral and it brought up a really good question. The question was this, what happens when you bury kitchen scraps in your garden?

You know, a lot of us, we talk about composting, right?

I mean, I've talked about composting quite a bit here on the podcast,

whether that be bin composting, tumble composting, verma composting, certainly

we've talked a lot about, as well as boccashi composting, where you're pre-fermenting, and

then you're just going ahead and throwing it into some of your other composting

systems or directly into the garden. Now Mark went a step further or you might

even say one step back and he said what happens if you just bury the scraps without putting

them through any sort of pre or true composting process.

Now as you might expect, this is what happens in nature. You know, these plants

that were growing, although many of them are highly modified through breeding and artificial

selection, the plants are typically going to die,

the fruit's going to drop, it's going to hit the ground, it's going to be composted down by all of the

organisms and microorganisms that are living within on or under the

soil, right?

So it does stand to reason that just simply burying your kitchen scraps is going to work out pretty well.

And that's actually what Mark found out in his video.

He dumped kitchen scraps straight into his garden beds and then waited quite a while and then dug those areas back up to see what was remaining.
