      Composting beyond the scale of small backyard gardens takes a combination of science, time, machinery, and love of the process - in addition to the other key factor besides inputs - time. Some places create ‘speedy compost’ or shortchange on inputs or finishing time. The love and care she and her father display could speak proportionately to the quality of the finished product. Given we’ve scraped all the topsoil from the lands, for gardening and farming going forward, a key consideration isn’t whether or not a gardener or farm uses compost, using compost will be a given but the difference will be in the quality of compost - not just the earthy smell, sight, and feel, but also the scientific analysis of the nutrients and composition. Say it again - great highlight

    I'm on 20 acres just North of Brisbane Australia.
    We take lots of green garden waste we slow compost. After a few years I combine 3 rows into one with mulch grabs on a 7 ton excavator.
    I've turned our poor sandy soil into black gold. I've also used pigs to break down piles and add fertiliser.
    We're now growing top quality vetiver grass, an anti erosion plant with roots up to 6m. Also hosted a syntropic market garden.

    I don't really post comments, and I often forget to support videos by liking. I had to do both because of how transparent, honest and informative that video was. Everything these days is proprietary and secret recipes, so it was really refreshing how they really seem to want to give all the help they can to others looking to do what they do.

    Nice! Thanks for the tour!
    I'm in the early stage of a similar composting operation. I started with a pitchfork too, driving around town to collect leaves and grass clippings as people mowed their grass for the last time in the fall. I built a couple huge piles of mostly carbon materials.
    Every day I would collect the coffee grounds and food waste from a local coffeehouse. They produced about two five-gallon buckets a day. I would dig a hole into the pile and dump the buckets, then cover it over. Next day, I dug a hole next door to yesterday's so I slowly rotated the holes around the circular piles, adding fresh food scraps to the top layer.
    Every couple weeks, I would turn the pile by pitchfork. The food scraps and coffee grounds were enough nitrogen to keep the piles smoking hot all winter long, even at high altitude in the Rocky Mountains in Wyoming. The work was enough to keep me in good physical shape too!
    Years later, I started keeping horses, and composting their manure. Horse manure has a near-perfect carbon nitrogen ratio, so the manure and urine-soaked bedding creates a hot pile without adding anything else. I use a small loader to turn the piles, in an operation like the one in this video, but a smaller scale. I build my piles against a long retaining wall, and each time I turn the pile, I start in the pile at the "garden end" of the retaining wall, and turn that end of the pile farther toward the garden. Then I work my way along the pile, and turn the whole thing until I reach the "barn end" of the retaining wall. That's where the fresh manure comes from the barn each day. On turning day, I take the manure that has built up at the barn end, and make the newest pile at the barn end of the existing pile.
    The compost is finished and ready to use after about three months in the pile. Then I use a wheelbarrow to move it into the garden and top-dress all the beds. I also keep a couple hot frames, with two layers of compost inside a structure, with a greenhouse-like lid over the top. The bottom layer is fresh manure-rich compost, that is still hot when I load the hot frame. Then I put a foot-deep layer of the oldest compost on top, and plant directly into the old compost. It allows me to extend the gardening season by a couple months, using the heat from the hot bottom layer to avoid freezing the plants inside the frame.
    I make more compost than I can use in the garden, and I try to give away the excess, but I find few people want it. Gardeners seem to be convinced that home-made compost is full of weed seeds, despite the high temperatures. I wind up spreading the excess on a grassy field where my wife jumps her horses. the added compost makes the ground softer, and helps avoid injuries to the horses' legs.
    If you happen to be near Denver, I'm happy to give away that excess. It's NOT full of weed seeds!

    Excellent. I compost for fun on two suburban acres fir the past seven years. I have a compact tractor with a loader. I get wood chips dumped for free from two different companies I contacted. I called the local race track and contacted the company that hauls the manure/bedding that is dumped for free. I don’t get all the material collected just overflow when it’s convenient for them. I estimate I get five yards a week. It’s very relaxing to manage the process. I give most of it away but it I’ve contemplated how to turn it into a small business.

    This is awesome! When I lived in central Michigan there was a business called Dairy Doo that would make high quality compost from their dairy cows’ manure.

      You have to be careful. Lots of cow and horse manure these days has Grazon in it. From the hay. It will literally kill your garden.

    On my old farm we didn't have much good topsoil, mostly rocky and clay. I thought of doing scale composting to improve my soil. My dad did composting for his garden where he had different piles and checked the temp. He also did composting toilets. Nice video.

    • @notillgrowers
      @notillgrowers  ปีที่แล้ว +9

      My understanding is that it all comes down to drainage--where is the leachate going? It just can't sit in puddles (as they discuss), and the runoff has to be managed.

    • @timshirk6261

      Also if to much rain fall the compost gets to wet and could go anaerobic which is very bad
