Composting Manure

We turn all 600 tonnes of our cattle manure into compost using a compost turner. During the process we add ingredients such as wood chip to create a more biologically active, aerobic final product. Find out how we do it in this video! 💩

Absolutely fantastic , many more should take a bit of time to do this to get all the goodness back into the soil

Local farmer to us has a machine the same and only saw it for the first first time last year an had to ask what it was an like yourself adds various materials to it 👍

Fascinating video I imagine it would really help the organic matter of the soil and therefore reduce the amount of artificial fertilizer required 👍

Very interesting! I was always under the impression when storing muck to heap it high which would lock out air but your process seems reliant on aerobic processes
It seems like a lot of time & potential compaction/ damage with all the windowing & turning but I assume it must be worth it?

[@chriswalford4161]

Do you cover the winrows to conserve heat or reduce the emission of methane or ammonia, or washing away soluble components?

[@chriswalford4161]

Do you monitor the heap temperature?

Nice video do you spread It on grass or arable

[@billylewis6084]

Spread back out onto the arable, some of it onto the temporary grass leys within the arable rotation.

How much compost do you apply per acre?

[@billylewis6084]

Roughy 3.5T
