Thanks, is so easy to compost. We called compost from animal feces, manure. Cow dung we used for everything, from covering our floors to binding our adobe bricks, to starting seeds, and forming the base of our vegetable garden beds. Other animal and human dung we composted in a similar manner, layering with dry leaves in pits and leaving it before using the following year. We added more leaves to deter the smell. Today vegetable kitchen scraps and garden waste is all I compost. The kitchen scraps are easiest to compost in double stacked worm bins. The garden scraps go in cubic meter sized bins in the method described in your video and take six weeks to three months to turn into reusable garden compost. The cities around me give classes and provide bins to graduates. This is the program from Santa Cruz- https://cdi.santacruzcountyca.gov/PublicWorks/RecyclingSolidWaste/Composting/HomeComposting/BackyardComposting.aspx
