I'm loading up the chicken coop with kitchen scraps, biochar, leaves and weeds. All of this will be broken down by the birds into wonderful compost over time. I got this idea from Paul Gautschi, the gardener who stars in the Back to Eden film and have used it for some years - it works great. Adding biochar is a new experiment - I think it will load up with nutrition over time and make for some great long-term soil fertility.

Brilliant
Thanks! This and previous video answered my questions I had when I get my chickens started! Good timing!!
Love the Paul tribute at the end! Another great video David.
The charcoal is really good for the chickens when they roll in it to prevent red mite and fleas it’s also good as anti coccidiosis
Pure genius!
Love the composting vids. Have to say the night rider reference at the end was over my head. Cheers!
It's Paul Gautschi, from the "Back to Eden" gardening film. Thanks for stopping by.
This is great, I can't wait until we move north and I can have my own chickens. My brother in law owns a restaurant and I hope to get table scraps from the restaurant for the coop too. We'll see if they'll do it. =D

Good stuff! Thanks for sharing.
You bet.
Great montage
Have you ever had problems with mice. I did this same thing but have had an increased mouse problem.
Rats showed up after a while.
the Eden Rider!
Yes!
You have just upped your surface area exponentially....
Awesome!!
Question: Do you also feed the chickens a commercial feed?
Yes. I haven't been able to keep them laying without it. They'll be happy and healthy looking, but just quit producing eggs after about a week of being off commercial feed. It's a protein thing, I believe. Getting enough protein to maintain almost daily laying is difficult.
David The Good Okay, thanks. :-)
5 sec. in.....Thought you were going to say..."tickets to Paradise" then roll into a rap. You let me down. Guess I'll watch you play with poop...... get on with it :)
LOL
I think we have just discovered the new chicken Whisperer, The Man Who Communicates With Chickens, I just Hope They Don't Find Out About KFC!!!
did you build that coop
No, it was here already. It's too short for me!
David The Good lol, I love it. it's so open
Yes, that is a plus. The air comes through and so does the light. I think it's good for the birds.
HAHAHA!
GO, nightrider!!!
Another reason to put bio-char in with chickens, terra-char.com...
Thank you for the link - I bookmarked it. Good info over there.
Thank you for sharing the link, I also bookmarked it. My husband is going through schooling to be able to manage the family farm/ranch with cattle and crops. I think this link will be beneficial for him to have access to.
🌾Merry meet 🌿
