DIY Composter: Compost Much Faster + Free Biogas!

Progressive Modern Composter. Made with your own hands from a unique very warm, almost eternal cheap homemade building material. Due to the properties of the walls it significantly speeds up the production of high quality incredibly useful compost. A composter that is significantly cheaper than store-bought ones. Such a composter is faster to make yourself than to wait for one ordered online. On a composter made from this innovative, durable, reliable composite material, you can apply a huge number of options. For very beautiful yet inexpensive finishes. Turning it into a real decoration for the garden and vegetable patch. A good neighbor will be happy with such a composter. And a bad one will be envious. Residents of Rublyovka will be ready to pay a lot of money for it. But they will be disappointed. You can't buy it you can only make it with your own hands. And they have problems with that. These are the goals I set before starting work. I hope this video will be useful for both gardeners. And home builders. And there are very many of both on Yasha Kosyak's song channel. And now everything in order. Hello everyone. I believe that we owe our high yields not only to our high warm beds. Videos about which have already blown up the internet. But also to the power of grass. Mowed grass. Which we actively mulch our organic beds with. While the grass is fresh it prevents moisture evaporation and weed growth. So we water the beds very rarely and hardly weed them. Lying grass becomes food for our silent workers earthworms. And the soil in the beds always remains loose. They practically don't need to be dug. Excess grass that doesn't fit in the beds goes to compost. Our composters are made of boards. One has completely fallen apart the second is holding on. Because it was redone several years ago. Board composters are not cheap and they don't last long. But I couldn't think of anything better than. For many seasons I have been observing. How mowed lawn grass behaves in a composter. Almost immediately it starts to heat up. Like nuclear fuel in a nuclear reactor. Even in cool spring weather. After just a day a temperature of 40 degrees can be recorded. Externally it doesn't change much at first. It just looks slightly over fermented with a pleasant to the touch temperature. Another day or two passes and everything changes drastically. Under the withered dry layer we observe a substance. Similar to the waste product of cattle. Even the smell is similar. And cow dung has always been considered a first class fertilizer. I remember collecting it with my parents on the way to the dacha. The temperature rose to 60 degrees. The biomass requires urgent cooling with water. Everything is becoming more and more like a nuclear reactor. Under the canopy where I usually work in the warm season. A bird has built a nest and is raising a new generation of chicks. To avoid disturbing this natural idol. I retreated to the garden to try to create the perfect composter. With very simple now habitual actions. I roughen the sheets of styrofoam. With a detached hacksaw blade for wood. I am using three centimeter thick comfort styrofoam. If regular viewers of Yasha Kasyak's song channel. Expect the sequence of actions which has become tiresome due to frequent demonstrations. Then this time everything is somewhat different. Based on the size of the extruded polystyrene foam sheet. I cut a piece of plastering fiberglass mesh. With thin economical strips I apply polyurethane adhesive foam. To the roughened sheets of extruded polystyrene foam. After waiting a few minutes I glue the piece of mesh. I have big plans for the new composter. In a specific place on the sheet I draw four parallel strips. With a distance of five centimeters between them. Then using a wooden fence. Two clamps and two bars I begin to bend the sheet along the marked strips. In several stages. The material strong against tearing and compression. Is quite brittle when bent. The strong plaster mesh glued in place. Prevents the appearance of a destructive crack. On the outer surface of the bending sheet. The bend is formed. By slightly crumpling its inner side. The simple construction has set the bending point which can now be. Easily adjusted by hand. For a uniform arc. The bent sheet is sent to rest. Under the crossbar of the workbench. About half an hour later I took it out. It turned out that the mesh glued with narrow strips can then be. Easily peeled off in this. Will be good for future savings. Almost certain that my plan will work I roughen. The next sheet of styrofoam. I try to do such work as if in passing. For example I was mowing grass. Got tired so for a while. I switched from monotony to a creative process. I spread glue on the sheet. While it's setting I returned. To the mower. If the applied glue. Is left for about five minutes then gluing. Becomes easier the mesh sticks. Immediately but you need to glue it right the first time. I bent two sheets so that the composter would be. One meter wide along the short side exactly like. Our old one. Next I need to determine. The bending points for the next two sheets. I decided to bend them so that the direction of the quarter which. The styrofoam sheets have would coincide so I take simple measurements. The weather makes its own adjustments to outdoor work which. Must be taken into account. The rain. Never came in the gloomy evening was replaced by. A clear night. The bright night. Celestial body rushed over the southern horizon the next day. Turned out to be not hot and windy. The strips used for orientation. Are now drawn directly on the styrofoam. Not on the mesh. I have improved. The method of bending the extruded polystyrene foam sheets. Fences are no longer needed. Only the edge of the wooden deck. Under the overhang is needed. I think. There are probably no other ways to bend styrofoam. It's unlikely to be able to heat it evenly. For plasticity. As it is an effective insulator and conducts heat very poorly. I send another workpiece. To rest under the table's crossbar. The sheet turned out to have its. Own stubborn knot but the tool. The leaf fell with its. To the rebellious norm but the weapon. Of the revolution minded proletariat. The paving slabs calmed him down too. In reality of course. There is no similarity between the processes occurring. In a composter and a nuclear reactor. There is no particle division. Accompanied by heat release. The mown grass. Is heated by the life activity of a huge number of bacteria. Therefore if you compare its operation to a reactor. It's only to a chemical one. With each new sheet I attach the mesh. With increasingly sparse and thinner. Strips of glue. Through experimentation. I am trying to Rounding can FPS be bent this way. In my opinion any. I haven't ruined a single sheet. With the plaster mesh. The result is 100%. Experience is gained very easily and quickly in the process of this pleasant. Work in the fourth sheet is spent. Almost perfectly. I am already thinking. About making a convenient foam board bender. But. Holding it under the table is still mandatory. I take a scrap piece left. From a previous job. In it I made a cheap filling for sliding gates. From foam board for at least 90%. Polyurethane foam adhesive is perhaps the most convenient adhesive for. Such work. Unlike mounting. Foam it expands much less. And the adhesive is strong and easy to work with. The waste free nature of the method. Is evident. You can always use. The leftovers from previous projects. While the foam sets I press the sheets down. With weight in this case firewood. Because my wife took all the leftover paving slabs for the garden beds. The fourth sheet is spent. I hide the mesh it's reusable. And should come in handy for future projects. For my needs a composter. With walls made of four sheets. Of foam board should be enough. But the dimensions can easily be increased both in width. And height. In our wooden. Composter the decomposition of organic matter. Occurs well in the middle diminishes at the edges and top. There are gaps in the boards and moisture evaporates quickly through them there is no lid so. Moisture also evaporates from the top. Bacteria. Do not want to work in dry mass. Foam board has almost zero. Water absorption and does not let water through at all. In addition in terms of thermal insulation characteristics. Just three centimeters of foam board provide the same insulation as. A dry wooden beam 17 to 18 centimeters thick. Or brickwork 56 centimeters thick which is more than two. Bricks. Due to. Such good insulation the process. Initiated inside as intended. Should not slow down even in cold weather. And in our central. Belt it happens most of the year. So obtaining finished compost should be significantly accelerated. In this project I decided to get a little fancy and make. Rounded corners. Why? Firstly after making. Septic rings in a similar way. On Yasha Kasyak's songs channel. There was a transition to 3D use. Of this innovative method. Secondly such rounding has. An unbroken FPS structure. Which should make the corners stronger. A transition to 3D usage has emerged. Of this innovative method. Secondly such rounding has. Unbroken FPS structure. What should make the corners stronger. They lack the tension that. Is usually formed in corner joints. So be our own math however. And thirdly I just wanted to experiment. Friends. The Yasha Kasyak songs channel has enabled.

By the way thanks to your support and interest in. My research the manufacturing of an insulated. Hot tub has already begun using a new progressive method. It can be both cold and warm. I hope soon to be able to aim for a cheap. Prefabricated swimming pool which will become accessible. To everyone but I still need to save up. Taming the rampant growth of grass is like fighting. With windmills. No matter how much you mow it new grass will definitely grow. Very soon. Lawns with shortcut grass became a symbol of luxury. In Europe as early as the 18th century and soon gained similar. Popularity in America. Wealthy landowners demonstrated with such. Lawns that they could afford to hire. Other people to care for the land used. For frivolous purposes such games and celebrations. By the mid 20th century while Soviet people were building communism. Power plants and trying to catch up with and surpass America. In per capita chicken egg production in the. Western world lawnmowers and pesticides became widespread. Cunning marketers changed the minds of ordinary Americans. And Europeans making a private house with a lawn a symbol of. Success for people with middle incomes. We are not for the American way of so instead of. Frivolous use of lawns we use them. As a source of inexhaustible organic fertilizer. Therefore the use of harmful pesticides was immediately rejected. And we consider the lawnmower to be the most important tool. Of our organic farming. With such a simple and effective gardening method. Preparing grass for mulch is perhaps the most. Labor intensive process. And a convenient mower makes this labor easy and even. Pleasant. Early in the spring at the very beginning of this grassy. Season one managed to get a new cordless self propelled. Lawnmower Greenworks GD60LM51SP switching to electric power. This unit complete with a 16 volt battery. With a capacity of 4 ampere hours and a fast charger. With forced cooling has quite serious. Specifications. Finally after a decade of stagnant design. And ergonomics in lawnmowers changes have occurred. The handle with two height positions can now be unfolded. And folded with a single click because it is not held back. By any control cables. The seven stage cutting height adjustment is very. Easy to operate. Remove the plug for mulching mode. Remove the mulch plug. Attach the grass collector insert a charged battery. Into one of the two slots and you're ready to collect the most valuable. Resource. Subtitle editor. The self propelled speed is adjusted with a slider. Over a wide range. And also for this season we got a Greenworks cordless trimmer. GD60LT with the same charger and battery. This battery can be inserted into the second slot. Of the mower and its continuous operation time will double. The use of brushless motors should make. These garden tools very reliable. Footage of obtaining the first green gold of the season. A long time ago we already had an electric trimmer. And I very quickly got tired of getting tangled in the cord constantly. Risking cutting it. So it moved to my parents leisurely pensioners. The power cord bothers them less. As for me I tried to get into all the nooks and crannies with a gasoline mower. And because of this it is very scratched all over. Working with cordless trimmers is a pleasure. I found the modification without a bicycle handle to be more. Convenient for getting into hard to reach places. And I don't plan to mow large flat areas with it. For that there's the mower. Greenworks cordless mowers and trimmers are as powerful. As their gasoline counterparts. Just as their acceleration tests are no less than gasoline Zhiguli cars. After long mowing sessions I no longer get saturated. With exhaust fumes from an internal combustion engine. By using a turbine above the cutting blade which. Also blows air for cooling from top to bottom. Through the engine the grass flies into the collector. Better than in mowers where this aerodynamics is created by. A propeller shaped blade. Now our tall raised beds videos about which. Long ago blew up the internet will not only be provided with. Even more environmentally friendly mulch but will also constantly. Have a neat appearance. The mode with the grass collector is the main one for me. Mode. Such a mower can also provide side grass discharge. There is also a noticeable downside to the mower. It's housing. Is equipped with two bright LED headlights. And now if I haven't finished mowing before dusk. I can't postpone it to the next day. As my wife says I have everything to finish. The job today. Skeptics predicted that our tall raised bed. With sides made of dynamation material based on foam polystyrene. Would not withstand the trimmer test. Let's check now. For 90% of tasks the slower. Burst speed of this trimmer is enough for me. For a tough strength test I switched to the second. After intimidating over revving I engage full throttle. The head accelerated to 6,000 revolutions per minute with a 2 millimeter. Line leaves imperceptible marks on the edges of improvised. Stones. They would be exactly the same if the stone texture was applied not. To a light material based on pinoplex but for example. To a brick or concrete plinth. You'll also note that now our garden path made. Without heavy concrete work thanks to the trimmer. Green works contrary to the predictions of skeptics will not overgrow. I have been using these cordless tools for almost two months now. And I must say that they have integrated into our lives. As naturally as for example a cordless. Screwdriver did. It's hard to imagine a gasoline powered screwdriver. Therefore if there is an opportunity you should switch. To cordless electric power. It is convenient and environmentally friendly. All information is below the video. I've been rambling on about simple ways to get grass. Mulch. Sorry I got a little carried away. Regular viewers of Yasha Kasyak's channel songs will surely. Understand everything I do perfectly. I will explain to new viewers. I cut alkali resistant fiberglass mesh for plastering. With 5 by 5 millimeters cells into blanks. I mixed a store bought mixture that I use for gluing. And plastering board insulation materials. Such as foam plastic extruded polystyrene foam mineral wool boards. Then with a stainless steel trowel I began to apply a very economical. Layer 2 to 3 millimeters thick on the walls of the future composter. I lay the cut strips of fiberglass mesh and embed them. With the trowel. With a wide spatula as much as possible I try. To give the surface relative smoothness. In warm weather such thin layers dry quite. Quickly. I turn our future composter over and repeat everything. On the outside. By the way there are also pre-textured sheets of pinoplex. They are called pinoplex wall but in the nearest. Construction store in our village they sell smooth ones. And I can roughen them faster than driving to a distant. Store for textured ones. To avoid questions like what and how I am once again. Trying to film the entire process in detail only in some places. Speeding it up to save your time. I have absolutely no professional plastering skills. And I assure you that they are not required for this kind of work. Store bought mixtures adhere very well to pinoplex. And for us home experimenters such work is not even work. But pure pleasure. Videos about the thousand dollar house project other. Videos where I build an outdoor toilet a garden shower based on. An innovative material sliding gates made of pinoplex. Septic rings made of pinoplex were filmed during my research. Activities the goal of which is to find the most. Labor efficient effective and inexpensive modern construction methods. Therefore repetition and possibly associated positive and negative consequences. Are solely at your own risk. One of the negative consequences of this method if it becomes widespread. I believe could be the collapse of classical construction standards. And the collapse of the construction services market due to the sudden cheapness. And simplicity of construction. Therefore before repeating think carefully your. Actions may leave thousands of clumsy. Amateur builders unemployed who will finally stop tormenting their. Clients and will be forced to find new occupations as building. Actions could leave thousands of unskilled workers jobless. Builders of sorrow who will finally stop tormenting their. Customers and will be forced to leave the market as they will have to build. This way even a housewife can do it. Some viewers of are interested. In my mental health because I very often. Use extruded polystyrene foam. I make almost everything I can think of out of it I hope. I haven't lost my mind. I've heard that crazy people don't realize that they. Have lost their minds and think everything is normal. I feel that way periodically and therefore. Everything is fine. It's like the Dunning-Kruger effect. Fools cannot understand that they are fools because. They are fools. This is its simplified interpretation if expressed in polite. Terms. Therefore those who feel very healthy or. Are always knowledgeable and always right should think about it. The chance of being either a madman or a fool is high. I've heard that smart people tend to doubt everything. Fools are known for their stubbornness. By the way being a fool is not a sentence to a miserable existence. Because they often become successful businessmen. And leaders as they act without overthinking. A smart person will weigh everything a million times and while weighing. Will get very tired and in many cases will give up without even. Doing anything. First conclusion. A smart person occasionally feels like a fool. Second conclusion. If you are smart and feel smart all the time see. The first point. By following this line you start to understand. Others better. The best combination of unique personal qualities is probably. When you are half a fool half smart. The best combination of unique business qualities is probably when you're half a fool and half smart. I and those who are already using this construction method are increasingly being compared to the. Characters from the three little pigs fairy tale. Because they consider such material to be fragile and very light I haven't been offended for a long. Time. Friends this is a sufficiently strong and not at all as light material as it might seem. The summer shower which constantly flashes in the background has been standing in this spot for. Over a year. Before that a portable toilet stood in this place which was made two years ago. From the same material and it didn't fly away but was temporarily moved to another location. The walls of the house for a thousand dollars project have been standing for three years so. Everything is fine so far. I am not advocating for anything you can just watch Yasha Kasyaf's When it first dries all the flaws that appear can be easily fixed with a spatula. Such mixtures contain important polymer additives to enhance adhesion to insulation boards. But cement still remains the main binder in their compositions. So such structures gain full strength after 28 days. A small part in the center remained uncovered so for greater reliability I am reinforcing the. Entire upper side. You can't spoil porridge with butter. I also corrected one of the sides that was crooked. I make all the overlaps of the mesh at least 10 centimeters. When it dries very quickly you can spray it with water. I am making a marking with a pencil. The material is very difficult to cut with a utility. Knife but this is when it's still fresh. When it gains strength it will be even harder. You can also cut it with a hacksaw one that you don't mind ruining but it frays the fiberglass mesh on the edges of the still fresh material. So with difficulty I cut it with a knife. When both sides are reinforced the strength of the product increases many times over as it is a sandwich like composite and I am a composer. Now I know how and from what I will make the long collapsed back porch of our main house. In the summer I took out the sun lounger. In previous years we didn't even get it out maybe this year well managed to use it for its intended purpose but it seems that it's precisely what provoked the deterioration of the weather but for the composter to gain strength well damp weather is just what's needed. Initially for making the lid trim I wanted to use fickle wood but it definitely won't last 50 years and that's the minimum. Stated service life of Pinoplex. Therefore to avoid returning to this issue I will use the already proven good old 50 millimeter sewer pipe. By the way this construction season it has even noticeably decreased in price for us a very rare occurrence. For evenness of the cut I apply masking tape. My neighbor as usual is shocked by my innovations. This frame for the opening has been serving faithfully for a year in our outdoor shower which means it will also serve in the composter. After such modification the cut lid stops falling into the opening and fits snugly. The material of such pipes is very strong and flexible so hinges made from it should also serve. Well I attach them with self-tapping screws with washers. I made a convenient handle and support from waste and scraps. But that's not all it's just the beginning of true creativity for which a solid foundation has been laid. Therefore anticipating the work of either an artist or a sculptor I don't skimp on masking tape. Next a little tile adhesive was needed. I have leftovers from creating a reliable waterproofing for the open balcony of our main house. By the way as always I solved the issue with pinaplex. Two years of smooth sailing. The open bag has been lying around for a long time and needs disposal. I am reviving it by adding thermal insulation mix. Then complete improvisation. I tried using a texture roller but didn't like the result. I used a spray bottle and a spatula despite having all safety certificates for the materials I use. I often encounter their rejection in comments. Fear of the new and unknown is a normal reaction of our genetic memory. How many decades did it take for humanity to stop fearing for example polyethylene film. In common parlance cellophane. A word derived from the distorted cellophane which was an older predecessor of polyethylene. Now probably no one even thinks about it. The compost covers its cucumber bed with polyethylene film a material synthesized 100% chemically. I wait a couple of hours and continue. I look up information online to understand what natural stone cladding should look like. I make a light marking with a utility knife. Then a very important tool comes into play. The compost obtained in such a composter should be more beneficial than cow dung fertilizer. As it retains all the energy. A cow by consuming grass expends a lot of energy to produce milk. To maintain body temperature for movement and other life processes. The dung is just a remnant of luxury. A very important thing for forming joints. I spent time making it once and now it's done. A reliable tool will serve faithfully for a long time. I wait for it to dry more completely and refine the stone shape with a spatula and a metal brush. I remind you this is pure water improvisation. Don't judge too harshly. This spot is questionable. Intuitive creativity can manifest images from the subconscious. Left half right half a strip in the middle. Perhaps it was inspired by the global situation. I bought the cheapest pigments and some facade paint also the cheapest. Sometimes memories of a bourgeois life return. I managed to experience it for a short time when I was a small time merchant. It's probably like trying a forbidden drug once. You know it's harmful and can be addictive but you want to repeat it. How's the work? It's a bit dark in my opinion. I also felt like putting our old garden furniture out on the lawn. Uncorking a bottle of non-alcoholic champagne and snacking on early strawberries from a raised warm bed. Observing the work of others. Fortunately at that moment my wife felt like taking over my initiative to paint the composter. But very soon I try to drive away these harmful thoughts that undermine work discipline. Patience and hard work will overcome all obstacles. The coloring of our composter started to resemble a kindergarten toy box. But there was no stopping my wife. She was mixing something with something else lightening something up. And in the meantime I had already brought home from the store a wood and stone antiseptic varnish. Tinted to a walnut shade and stone. In terms of materials it took a little over six sheets of extruded polystyrene. About 10 square meters of fiberglass mesh. One and a half bags of thermal insulation adhesive. Less than a bag of tile adhesive. A third of a can of adhesive and foam. About 8 meters of pipe. A very small amount of paint and varnish materials I consider that showing off. Don't judge too harshly but here's what turned out. My neighbor became firmly convinced that we had built something for the exhibition of achievements. Of national economy. For the abbreviated VDNKH. This is one of the possible exterior options and a complete improvisation. If you just paint it it will also be fine or not paint it at all that's also fine. I really have big plans for this composter. Besides its direct purpose I want to try using it as a compact chemical reactor for producing free methane. Giant larvae of endangered rhinoceros beetles. They process the wood shredded by the garden chipper. I will try to start a process in it that is even more similar to what happens in a cow's digestive system. And then the issue of free heating for my $1,000 house project may be resolved. I hope we'll find out everything soon so give a big thumbs up.
