Great job!! You are masters in this kind of job using chickens!! GREAT!!
Thanks for the kind words. 😊
I don't compost hot, but I absolutely use my chickens (it would be difficult not to). They're healthier and so are the plants I grow. You should see what my potatoes are doing
Awesome. Share a link to what those potatoes are doing. I would like to see. 👌
Great video as always. waiting on the next in anticipation. God Bless from TN
Thanks for watching and I appreciate the nice thoughts. 😉
Gr8 Video! Will you be doing a biological analysis of your compost using a microscope like Dr. Elaine Ingham of the Soil Food Web School and performing DNA sequencing? It would be helpful to know the microorganisms in your hot pile and finished pile.
Yeah it would be nice to know for certain but I wouldn't know what I was looking at if I looked at it under a microscope. My approach to composting is the exercise of best practices combined with the application of time. I base this from what I learned observing how my dad did this on the farm back in the day and he had a fantastic garden and incredible yield every year for 45 years until the farm was sold in 2015. Elaine Ingham is a great teacher, soil expert and I someone who I respect as an authority. I on the other hand, am a livelong amateur soil builder and gardener content to derive my results from empirical rather than scientific evidence. I really appreciate the question and I am glad you liked the video. Thank you!
What is the purpose of the diatomaceous earth being added to your chicken coop? Great content!!!
Thanks! So glad you liked the video. In short, I use it for parasite control. Here is a video further detailing my coop cleaning regimen with a further explanation of how D.E. works. ua-cam.com/video/rn8jV-ccqis/v-deo.html

That’s what I’m talking about !!
I only have a few chickens on a 5 acre, permaculture yarden where there are many places for predators (mostly uncontrolled dogs, then the usual hawks, owls, possums & raccoons) to hide so I don't use my chickens to compost.
I just bring the wood chips to their coop & run for them to work over instead & bury their cleanings in part of another wood chip pile for it to compost to use in the raised beds next year. I've gone through 3 8' wide x6' tall x 30' long wood chip piles going on 5 years with 8 pet chickens.
Wood chips are a fantastic choice for the coop and run. It is a perfect offset for all of the manure. It really helps with odor reduction and properly managed it will make the basis for nicely decomposed organic material. A really good solution for chickens in a smaller space if you don't mind managing the space. Thanks for sharing! 👌
Ive started to do this now man in a similar way,its working good too.
Nice. Love to hear this. 👊
