    Going to try to add that front design onto a 3 bin pallet set-up.

      I was actually telling Jenn that would make complete sense. Just take the front of this design and add to 3 pallets

      @@StiversHomestead That was what I was thinking too. I think five pallets, plus the lumber for the front braces and removable pieces? It is helpful to see you construct it, though. Thank you!

      How had this bin held up?

      Also, I've seen one, a 3 bin, where the 2 center dividers were, like the front panel, also removable, allowing you to have 3 bins "in process". When the third one is finished, the compost is removed and used in your garden. Then the contents of the 2nd bin are moved ( through the removable wall) to the third bin, thus being "turned". Then the contents of the first bin are [easily] moved (turned), right into the middle (second) bin. Leaving the first bin available to start a new batch. Of course, one could add additional bins if you want. The woman who built them/it emphasized how much easier the removable middle wall(s) made the turning process.

    Nice build! Thank you for taking the time to record it. I ordered the plans from Etsy. Just a couple of thoughts here related to Linseed Oil. I used Boiled Linseed Oil on a raised bed when I lived in Ga (now in Colorado) and it started decomposing about 2 yrs later. After researching Linseed Oil the past few days, I'm finding that 'Raw Linseed Oil' is being recommended for outdoor applications and should be reapplied yearly. That's what I plan on doing with the new compost bin and we'll see how it holds up. The cost where I'm at for all the materials ended up being about 210.00 including the delivery charge of 35.00. All the Best to you and your family!

      Dampen each layer with a hose, 6" greens & brown layers, 3 inches of manure, lasagna style. Wrap in a black tarp. Open tarp every 3 days turn center to the outside of compost, make sure it stays LIGHTLY moist, and rewrap with your tarp. It should be getting hot & turn into compost in about 30 days.

      Dogs, cats help.not much else you can do bcuz it's outside & has food scraps in it. The faster you can heat it up & turn it into compost the better. Keep your layers of brown & green to about 6 inches each, lightly watered, about 3 inches of manure. And do it lasagna style. And cover with a black tarp to keep extra water out so it get hot & stays that way. Turn every 3 days You should have compost in 30 days.
      The way Zach does it, it will take at least a year to break down. More chances of having rodents bcuz it doesn't get hot, and gets too much water from rains.

  • @dwighthires3163

    I don't understand you statement that compost needs to rest for a year, maybe 18 months or maybe less if you rush it. We do most of our hot compost in just a month and let it rest for a couple weeks, (maybe up to five weeks), before using it to dress our beds.

    • @StiversHomestead
      @StiversHomestead  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Compost will rise to 120-170 degrees Fahrenheit. Compost needs to rise to that temp then rest to no longer be ‘hot.’ In our experience that’s 6 months at the earliest, 18 months at the latest. Could for sure be different in others experience. Easy rule of thumb is sticking a thermometer in it before applying to beds just to make sure it’s not to hot

    • @denisewilson8367
      @denisewilson8367 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Zach does the slow decay way of making compost. It gets hot very slowly & it takes a lot longer to break down. It also gets too much moisture during the rainy season which cools the compost so it's not hot enough to decompose. And he doesn't cover his compost.
      There are many methods. I use a lasagna style method and compost is ready in 30 days.

    • @diannamc367
      @diannamc367 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Perma Pasture Farms has videos on 18 day compost if you're in a real hurry but it's really labor intensive. Some people just pile their items up and let it go for a year or more without a bin or turning.
      There are many ways to do it.

    • @dwighthires3163
      @dwighthires3163 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@diannamc367 I certainly do not call this labor intensive just healthy exercise. The main advantage to me in making my compost through multiple turnings is the universal heating of the pile to kill more of the seeds included in the pile. Additionally imagine how much more compost I can make in the same small space in a year. To me it is more than worth the little bit of healthy exercise I gain while doing it.
