We are back for the second episode of the week with Yves Gillen and this time we accompany him in the compost maintenance routine. He shares his simple and effective methods for maintaining healthy and productive compost, a key element of his self-sufficient garden. Yves shows us how he manages the different stages of transforming organic matter into fertile amendment for his soil. Throughout the sequences, we accompany him as he collects essential materials to feed the compost, such as dead leaves and mown reeds. These natural elements are carefully selected in order to maintain a good balance between dry and wet materials, thus ensuring optimal decomposition. Yves also explains how he adapts these resources according to the seasons and local availability. In addition to his classic compost, Yves also discusses the management of his dry toilets. He shows us how the residues from this system are integrated into the compost while respecting specific hygiene rules. This seemingly simple gesture is part of a global approach to reducing waste and returning to a complete natural cycle. Garden well ????
