What is the piece of equipment you are using to chop with? I love it.
@victoriajonas44
May I ask which investments are good? I've been looking at a few different ones but want others' opinions as well!
@victoriajonas44
is ROCHELLE DUNGCA-SCHREIBER on youtube? please how do i reach her..
I'm surprised you know her too. I've been making a lot of profits learning and investing with her for a few months now. ROCHELLE DUNGCA-SCHREIBER is one of the best mentor/trader I have ever worked with in the past few years, she knows how best to deal with whatever market situation....
Thanks... This Was Helpful!!... I found her page!
Chaff cutter, shredder
Far and away the best compost assembly video I've seen. Excellent narration and information. This guy knows what he's talking about.
Thanks i was watching this and my neighbour came in and we watched this together now our whole village has watched this video and they all appreciate the composting process now 🥰
I did my Permaculture Design Course with Richard in 2009, in Thailand. During the PDC I wrote a "Compost Song" with all the instructions for this 18-day process. I'll have to record a version and post it!
Please do! I had this thought just the other day, to create songs with valuable knowledge like this to pass down to future generations.
Do it,i am in your channel and nope..u didnt :(
@@robertcook5451 life is a long song 🎵 ♥️. Bagavad Gita the song of god
That movie with Warren Beatty and Halle berry when the Black God man tells him to sing it and it'll happen all come to mind .Brilliant ideas .😉❤️👍🙏🖖😎☺️
Hey! We are still waiting for the song. How’s it going? 😄
I love this video especially when you guys spread the cow manure with your bare hands like its some kind of a cake party.
Excellent info! Thank you for all your hard work. Family of 7 homeschooling here in Nova Scotia, Canada and started composting to make our own rich soil last year. Very inspiring.
Richard you are a truly well-rounded individual. There aren't many like you in the world.
If you're wondering, he actually starts building the compost pile at 17:30.
If you want the science then 6:50
Thank you!
There was A LOT of talking before getting to the point of the video.
Thank you I was getting nauseated.
It's easier to understand and remember if the knowledge and formula is explained in detail.
Another excellent video with lots of great ideas which can be adopted for any scale. Too many negative replies. Farming is real. For anyone squeamish please watch Richards video on processing chickens where he speaks honestly about the respect he has for all life. Every video is thoughtfully produced with lots of things to reflect on.. I never cease to be encouraged by Richards wisdom, his consideration for others and his all round philosophy. Keep doing what your'e doing rRichard, many of us are inspired by your approach to life and all it's wonders
I suddenly have a strong urge to go turn my compost.
Cody??!
you comment on so many videos i also watch! love your videos!
Cody!
Why are you everywhere!?
Nice to see you here Cody :-)
Yes, probably one of the best aerobic composting videos I’ve seen, especially if you want more detail on the biology of it all. Really informative, thank you 🙏
I have been faithfully watching and enjoying every vlog you have produced for about a year now. Today I stumbled on this one and it was the most valuable and educational video of all that I have seen from you. Great job on this one especially even though I also enjoy the others.
Hi, richard allways good to see a composting vid. Been composting for 30 yrs now, You and I know you presented the ideal situation. Most of us have to cope with the material at hand, you can and maybe should do windrowing. Composting should and can be cost and labour effective, Hope the compost cake heats up enough to kill the nettle seeds, don't understand why so many composters use a device for temp, pointy stick does it for me, I can feel the heat and the moisture level. Seeing the geese eating made me happy, anyway keep the good permaculture idea going, and thanks for the previous vids, greetings from Holland.

What a wonderful comment and information!!! I subbed to your channel. Maybe some day you can do some videos of your extensive knowledge!!!!
Hello and much love from Oklahoma, USA!!!
God Bless!!!
What are you doing with the butcher's scraps of the processed chicken? Great Channel, thank you for all that you do.
Love watching the dispatching of the chickens!! Would love to see a very slowed down video with directions to each step! This would be extremely helpful!! Thanks!! Loooove your farm and videos!!! Keep up the fantastic work!!!
Very informative! Thank you for taking the time to show and explain it in detail!
I could just watch that machine you were cutting things up for the length of this video, that process was mesmerizing!
My compost piles are much less organized and not nearly so perfection in layers and shape. I use what is at hand from yard and horse output and house veggie scraps with just dumping from a wheelbarrow. I won't use any dead animals in mine. My sawdust usually has urine mixed in that adds nitrogen. I use shredded junk mail in my horse stall as bedding, then put that into my compost. My piles take longer than yours would. I am not so energetic to turn as diligently, but in the end gets done. -- What a perfect shape you made. :-)
Paper isn’t a very good ingredient, a bit here and there is fine. Brown paper is good but not great. I’d worry less if it isn’t used for annuals edibles, better than the land fill in that case. I just don’t don’t about all the stuff in the glossy bleached (dioxin laced?) paper.
Thank you very much for taking the trouble to video your work. It Make a very big positive difference.
Is it possible to video the actual turning of the compost pile?
I'd love to see what works best for you.
Thanks
Thanks for the detailed video Richard as compost can be so frustrating. Actually helps to see you also had some piles get a little out of check and that it's okay. Perfect often seems to be the enemy of the good.
Richard by far the best composting video I have ever seen. practical tutorial great explanations of how the science works. Thanks for the great videos. where abouts in the UK is the farm?
its in Sweden
18:00 "now you could decompose an entire labrador in seven or eight days, even the bones. so you can garden and get rid of WWOOFers at the same time" I see you've crossed over into Dark Permaculture
Will it work for in-laws?
Forget the chipper/shredder as in "Fargo." Too messy.
Simply compost.
That awkward silence afterward…
Same goes for a body?
He doesn’t actually say which layer you have to lob it into? Not sure if his lettuce is quite as appealing now:)
You shouldn't compost meat materials.
Why do I have immense feelings of satisfaction after turning the compost?
What is the name of the machine you used for chopping up all your green material? I would love to find something like it.
For those still wondering, I believe it’s called a chaff cutter.
Very well explained composting tutorial, have heard of this method and can’t wait to give it a try ,starting a garden finally with time to address all the needs..much appreciate your time and Expertise
I'm pretending the narrator is Ali G, and it makes this videos SO much more entertaining!
YESSS!!! I knew that he sounded familiar!!! 😂😂❤️
A fantastic job. Your detailed explanation and the simplicity of your delivery was quite captive. I'm now armed with the information necessary for me to embark on my own compost project. Thank you.
Fantastic compost pile. You will have a very fertile and productive garden soil. This is what the high quality life is all about. Pure gold!!! I am looking forward to making my own compost pile like this, but instead of cow manure I will use carabao manure here in the Philippines!!!
Hi Richard I’ve started my pile and turned it twice. It’s looking good but I’d love to see what you see when you turn yours and how you do it “Ridgedalestyle” ps I have had your book for a month and am loving it. It truely great work. Thank you from Australia.
Thank you for the video. I’m trying to find a compost thermometer with handles like yours. Where did you buy yours?
Can you say how much straw is actually needed for 1 compost pile, asking because I have to buy the straw
Need me one of those machine cutters, fresh animal, manure delivered by drivers, dry straw, and 8 helpers! I too can get compost in 2.5hrs.
It would be good to see the final finished heap.
See this is the type of information I love to hear. I like when people break down the why and how, know what they are talking about and have experience to back it up. This is how I wish every channel on gardening/farming could be, but alas most videos just regurgitate the same tired old basic “secrets” and try to pass themselves off as experts. Kudos on the awesome informative video!
My example of some other gardening channels...
Click for an Old farmers secret to grow tons of tomatoes!!!! Pick off the suckers!!!! Look 👀 ma I’m an expert gardener now!!!!
Love the explanation! Enjoyable to watch!
Question: Why not have a piece of small-mesh wire (3.14m * 1m) with hooks on the long side, hook it into a bin, build compost, unhook and take away.
Could that not save you tons of work on the edges, at basically no cost and effort?
By the time its all piled up you rattle it a bit and internal friction holds it up to the first turning, should produce rather crisp / steep edges and prevent shift from the desired volume (cylinder 1m high). Thoughts?
This is what I do. It is easy.
Double burn barrel bio char, inoculated and then added to these piles, is arguably our signature methods added to your wonderful compost
That compost crew is gangster. "Don't need no stinkin gloves to smear the manure!"
You need David the Good's "compost your enemies" t-shirt
Be nice to your mother and always say please.....
.. stay loyal to your friends, and ..
I was just thinking that
I love his books!
when turning the pile.. do you try to break it down in the layers you built it or just pull it apart and rebuild layers swapping inside materials with outside? How exactly do you turn it? sounds like a silly question I'm sure, just don't know how the turning process goes.
The point is to mix and aerate it.
Randy Carr take off the top start new pile over, then take off the sides put it on new pile. Then middle just pile on top of the new pile.
No need to worry about the layers once flipping there main purpose is to help get equal parts that would be one heck of a chore to keep the layers perfect while flipping. No question Is a dumb question even if asked multiple times cheers
@@caseG80 But where do I put the labrador?
The Labrador is in the center, you take the top half off and make a flat “pad” next to the pile. Then get as much of what’s left as you can and put it on the pad. Then bury it with the rest of the original pile.If you are adding any shredded high carbon Browns to your heap, which almost everyone is I would think, I would put that around any corpses for its absorbent properties.
One fast and easy way for us to decompose food scraps is to put in blender. Add water as necessary. Blend.
Add to dirt or pour directly onto plant. Hope this helps.
Omega One yes I do this in a dedicated blender to feed my worm farms . It works great:)
Or ferment it KNF style. Use raw brown sugar and layer in jar with scraps and use juice for fertilizer and microbe food.
Greets from Brazil!
Meet the Microbe Whisperer🤠
Nice explanation. But me still not convinced to put hands in cow manure =)
Use gloves
Well manure is not much different than dirt.
rubber gloves itas he way of the future
Could not understand anything.. what proportions these ingredients are used ? What is the purpose of adding chicken manure ?
It's just fermented & digested plants!
I would love to know what the machine is for chopping, is it something that can be bought, or suggestions where i can find build plans?
That’s the most organized compost pile I’ve seen
Excellent education! Thank you for emphasizing the importance of the presence of life. Who knew that was the focus over the elemental biology?

Hey just wanted to ask, is that tap water you are moistening the straw with?
For a pile to wet turn it onto a pile of branches. This will drain any extra water out.
And increase oxygen.
I build mine on branches water once a week maybe twice during hot times keep adding to it never turn and it works perfectly fine.
Very good video ❤❤❤❤
Thanks much for uploading!! Heard, seen and learned everything, all the importance about composting.
Nice :) information put into action becomes knowledge. So many synchronizations, you are very good Richard :))) happy for your projects and thank you for showing them. Hope to visit the farm one day :))
Richard ! Wouldn't sprinkling the materials together instead of layering give you even a better result and finished product ?
Richard, please put a guard on that machine. Or you will have something for the middle of you pile.
😂😂😂
Lmao
I want to start my own compost in a small bin first but I wasn't excited enough to wait the 3 month but 18 days this is vey good I will try
Smell is also a great indicator of how compost is growing. As well as like you said feeling moisture and heat.
Great video, as usual. Do you not add any lime to your heaps? I was told to add a dusting of lime in place of manure ie Brown, Green, Manure, Brown, Green, lime... BUT that was making in compost bins so maybe not relevant
It is probably only in Brazil that we eat chicken hearts in the barbecue (marinated with a lime based sauce). We love it.. LOL
You guys throw it away
Re: soil remediation and regeneration of near-desert like conditions (thinking of areas such as Nevada, USA; expanding edges of Gobi, Sahara, etc). Suggestions of how to begin remediating these dry soils? Which cover crops or composting would work to forestall the continued desertification? I'd like to slowly build up to rotational grazing practices. Thank you for any positive comments and guidance.
You can start by innoculating the soil with a high quality compost teas. Studies have shown that a near 100% sandy soil that was innoculated several times over a few years started to build structure like a high quality prized loam. That was done by soil life entering the soil and building structure. It's important to know how to feed the micorbiome, but essentially you want to reintroduce soil life to your desertified areas slowly. Use no-till methods to not destroy the soil microbiome or soil structure as it's built. Lastly you want to observe biological procession, meaning that you cant jump into heavy feeder veg suddenly after a few years or you'll just exhaust the soil and get weeds. You need to start with lower procession plants such as grasses. Dont jump into nitrogen fixers becuase you think you'll return nitrogen to the soil as the azobacter relationship is in higher succession plants which the soil wont be able to support for several years. Watch videos by Elaine Ingham who is a scientist that is helping rewrite our understanding of how soil life relates to good agricultural practice and soil rejuvenation. Also read "Dirt: The Erosion of Civilisations" by David Montgomery. It gives an interesting historical context as to how we arrive at desertified areas because of agricultural practice. John Kempf is another good resource, as well as Gabe Brown who has brought soil life back with specific no-till practice on a larger industrial scale.
This compost tea you speak of, I'll have to try & find some of it to try.
Good for you,, how does it taste?
Thanks for the video, can u please let me know what that machine is called. So cool
What do you call that machine that is chopping the greenery?
I am having a very difficult time finding materials to do this. I am starting my farm in rural east texas now- my plan is to buy in 55 CY of fairly sub par compost, and innoculate it with compost tea started with this method. I cannot find any straw or manure that is organic- everybody here sprays everything all the time. I had been hoping to perfect my formula for it over the fall season for a spring start. Richard mentions here that any pesticides or herbicides will denature in the composting heat- but I'm pretty twitchy about that. Am I being paranoid about this?
Keep it up.. stay green..
Love LOVE Love watching ALL of your videos!!! I wish we could have had funds to help with your new books’ crown funding or even the funds to buy it outright...perhaps one day!!! 🙏 until then...we are soaking up every single smitten of knowledge you share freely! THANK YOU!!!
You are a treasure trove of information. Are you a first generation farmer or were you just born a farming genius.
Come now Richard show your face
that's an awesome machine.. very interesting

Hey Richard, do you know of any conclusive evidence towards the use of compost tea?
My cursory search did not turn anything up.
Or, missing that, have you run field trials or other tests, and if so, what were your results?
Google Dr Elaine Ingham, she is a soil microbiologist and makes aerobic compost teas and inoculates them with fungal/bacterial inoculants depending on your needs.
It occurs to me that this 15 layer compost is actually accelerating 15 years of natural prairie ecology - grasses grow green, are eaten and excreted upon by foraging animals like horses, cows, and bison, then die and go brown in winter. The following spring, the cycle repeats and eventually the topsoil layer is built. Jump starting nature. The fact is that managed agriculture interrupts the natural cycle, and removes the harvested energy without replacing it in a cycle. Composting separately is a consequence of agriculture to make up for the removal of a portion of the scotch me. But the necessity remains.
What was that machine that was chopping up the green materials
hello Richard. this winter I made a few compost areas out of plastic skids that are 4 ft square. right now one is filled with leaves, shredded paper and soil. I have access to plenty of coffee grinds. what I plan to do is recreate two piles using the leaves/paper/soil and add layers in of coffee grinds and finished compost. will that be enough green or should I just wait till spring when we start cutting the grass? ty and really enjoy your videos.
Wew.., that dung look delicious..
This is gold. Thank you!
Why don't you mix the straw in with the green when you are cutting the green material?
What is the name of this machine you use for shredding?
Hey what’s up Richard Perkins fans. I got to make some pig manure compost. I was concerned for the stink so I put in A good amount of carbon. It’s been three weeks and there is swarm of bugs and no funky smell.
Did u turn it multiple times a week bugs are normal good compost usually doesn’t stink maybe u need to add more carbon next time. Are nose knows better to ditch a pile then possibly kill your plants
Hi Richard I'm wondering if you ad biochar for brown material do you still need to use 1/3?
Hello. Thanks for a great video! Two of my three piles have stopped getting to temp after 8 days, in which they did reach temp and were turned. Would size be an issue if they have shrunk too much? Any other ideas?
If you are using leaves is it normal to lose a third of height on the first day? I am not sure if I have too much nitrogen or if the leaves just settled. I used dried oak/pecan leaves (which I wet as I laid them) and fresh cut grass clippings with a bit of very old chicken manure and I laced the pile with some fungal compost from the bottom of the leaf pile (i had left the pile there unattended for about two years while I was away).
Whats the green shredder machine called? This would cut down the labour on my aerobic compost process dramatically!!
Richard says this is the most diverse and life rich compost you can make. I always read that vermicompost is the best compost you can have. Who's right?
What about biochar in compost, activated or not? While it is being made or after it's done?
Richard. How many beds do you get from a ton of compost
I have never seen bones disappear in a compost pile. Maybe the chopper is crushing them into smaller bits.
Bones?? In 3 weeks!!!
If bones disappear in a heap that isn’t massive and super hot, it’s animals. Lots of animals like bones, even clean ones, just to sharpen their teeth or get some calcium supplement. I had a deer skull on a shed roof and a chipmunk tried to steal it one day but it was too heavy I guess, it dropped it after a ways.
I was told a compost pile needs to be 4' tall, or about 100 cm. Is that correct?
Brilliant video. Where did you learn?
32:27 if you're having a rough day start with the baby chicks then from beginning
When you get a balanced compost with roughly equal parts bacteria and fungi how long will it last if stored in sealed plastic bags? Or should it be store in something more cloth like? I always make more than i can use 😊
how does one get one of those chopping machines?? I sure need one of those
Saw dust will help wet piles to heat up by introducing oxygen and carbon.
Thank you very much. How does one go about turning the pile? Any other video on this somewhere - on how to turn?
Just use a pitch fork and rebuild the pile by the time you do it a few times the first week it all gets mixed up well there’s really nothing to turning the pile pretty much taking it and building a new one next to it each time
Interesting method. I wonder if my no-dig wildflower circle comprising lawn with weeds topped with two layers of newspaper followed by a few incges of peaty compost, then seeded, will give a similar effect but as a thin layer. Thanks again for sharing it.
What is that machine called that you have? Would love to get one
It's a old-fashioned chaff-cutter.
Why making it in layers? What happens if I just mix everything evenly and with the help of chicken wire pile them in the same size?
that would be the preferred method. Layering them is just easier than mixing them equally.
Would you want more of a bacterial compost or fungal compost to feed things like pomegranate or fig trees?
Fungal compost for trees, bacterial compost for veggies.
Thank you a good method
i don't have cow manure and i'm trying to use only what i have in my garden but i'd like to have a go at making one of these compost heaps. i have chicken and regularly take the top layer off of the chicken run and put in a pile , is this ok to use , it's mixed with straw . Would shredded paper be ok instead of straw ? i'm going to have to chop the green with a lawn mower as i don't have a shredder would this be ok . Thankyou for such an informative video
Great ideas there Jacqueline. Did you do that? How did it work out for you?
If there was enough straw with chicken manure you may not need paper, if extra grass, then paper may balance it out. Paper also needs wetting like straw - even with chicken poo
yes, chicken bedding works really well actually. Chicken poop is actually richer in phosphorus and potassium than cow dung is. You frankly don’t even need manure, it’s just better if you do. Shredded paper and cardboard works really well too. Leaves work too. The main purpose of composting is not to add nutrients to your soil like most believe though. Your soil has enough nutrients for your plants. Plants need large biodiversity of bacteria (aerobic), fungi, protozoa, and nematodes. These organisms breakdown the nutrients in your soil that plants can use. The main purpose of composting is to add life into your soil. A compost pile is really a bacteria (aerobic preferably)/fungi/protozoa/nematode farm. When your plants are lacking a certain nutrient, what it’s really lacking is life for your plants to access that nutrient.
Wow, awesome information 😁😊😁
