Very cool, and very bold. Nobody that I've seen is even attempting to openly teach people these techniques for sustainable farming. Keep up the great work, Steven!
I’m almost done composting a 600ish lb cow from my friends farm, it has been 8-9 months I have large piles of wood chips. I covered the cow with 4-6 foot of chips, I’ve now just got bones left and I mixed it after 3 months 5 months and 8 months, and now I mix it about once a month. It was quite smelly but only while mixing
2 of my chickens died recently, and I composted them in my GeoBin Composting bin. I have 3 in my backyard. I've had a few chickens die last year as well. My yard man brings me bags of dried fallen leaves (By request). I use them to create leaf mould and I use them to top dead carcasses in the pile inside of my bins. It works GREAT! No foul odors. Once, I had a raccoon compromise my chicken coop, and I dispatched it before he got to my hens. I added him into one of the compost bins as well. Now, he's fertilizing my garden beds. :-) Thanks for sharing.
So interesting to see how you extreme compost. Yes, I would be interested to see the results of this pile when you finish it. Being in the mountains of Southern Oregon, we see lots of roadkill or dead animals on our property. My husband usually uses his backhoe to bury the carcasses deep because of beats and coyotes, but I have an orchard of fruit trees that could use the compost in the Spring. Maybe things will change now. To be on the safe side I’ll put my pile inside a predator proof fenced area. Thank you again Steven!
I do want to see the results of this amazing pile. I'm wondering if there will even be much bone left when it's done... recently, I hot composted a dead chicken with the 18-day Berkley method ( ingredients were straw, wood chips, kitchen scraps from my bokashi bucket and green weeds/plants. the pile was turned on the 4th day and every other day after that) and the only thing left on the 8th day (3rd turn) were two or three of the big feathers.... and on the next turn they had disappeared. There were no bones to be seen anywhere. I was surprised and the compost turned out great! Looking forward to hearing more....
@@barnabyvonrudal1 No, I haven´t. That would be a good test to do. But I have a working hypothesis about the bones of that composted chicken (which may or may not be true, of course - perhaps someone can test this). Several times, both before and since composting that chicken, I have composted cooked chicken bones that have gone through a fermenting process in my bokashi kitchen scraps bucket before being put in the compost pile. These bones never compost completely and I find them whole in the finished pile. The dead chicken was neither cooked nor passed through the bokashi bucket and all bone material disappeared So I am wondering whether the cooking and/or the bokashi fermentation changed the way the bones broke down in the compost pile.
@@lindamorrison450 Interesting observation! I know that cooked bones are unsuitable for dogs as they are too brittle, could be because of this brittleness that the composting fails to decompose them. I was experimenting with putting cooked bones in vinegar before putting them in the garden (uncomposted) - they lose their brittleness and can be bent (in theory - worked on thin bones but thicker bones not sure or it takes longer than I tried for).
@@barnabyvonrudal1 My hypothesis has to do with the idea that cooking and fermenting the bones changes the chemical composition and the microorganisms in the compost interact with these bones differently than they do with raw, uncooked bones.
personally, i'm continually amazed that people think this is a new technique. I'm a practitioner of the old methods...and I've known about these types of composting methods for a long time (i'm old ;) I think you are really respecting the animal...i mean we have to do something with the dead animal...even if we eat them there are still left over parts. It is life full circle Thanks for your video and you showed great respect. ☮☮
Thank you! You are incredible…..full of experience and knowledge. It took me a few days to watch this video due to the channel photo. I lived in San Diego for more than 50 years. First found you on Kevin’s channel (Epic Gardening) Now in Vermont…a brand new world! Carolyn/Vermont Cat Lady
I enjoy your video content. I first learned of you & Korean Natural Farming thru Michael Kirkpatrick's interview on his Thriving Farmer Podcast. Would love to see updates from the extreme compost pile.
We also compost our sheep. Hubby turns it every 3 days and we are amazed HOW FAST even the bones break down. No smell but super hot. You’ve taught me how to use more carbon though!! Thanks from Nova Scotia.
Penn State county extension educator took temps of our bovine composting pile. 160°F was normal. We used 2 feet of dry below, around, and on top of the dead cow. In 6 months we would turn the pile. Only the head and hips remained at 6 months.
If you fill a 5 gallon bucket with fresh woodchips, pee in that bucket instead of normal methods, and dump said bucket on top of your pile, it will stay hot for much much longer (you can keep dumping buckets). I do quite a bit of extreme composting and found if I want to keep a gross pile hot for longer, this works great for 'sit and forget' piles. I find keeping it hot longer helps the bones turn to mush / disappear.
Very informational video. Yes this is extreme, We started our composting pile in April, I don't think it's cooked off yet. But I really liked this video! keep this videos coming
OK Steven....I'm ready to make an arrangement with you so that when I die, my body will get composted in that way. Consequently, I will still be able to produce organic vegetables long after I am gone. Oh, but I would prefer no pig guts get dumped on me.
It's easy to do: Place the carcass on a THICK layer of sawdust or wood chips. Prevent explosions by slicing the abdominal cavity open in a few spots. Cover it with more sawdust. Contain the sides of the pile with some sort of barrier. Some places use a pit, some use a 3-sided ground-level bin. Rule of thumb - the covering layer should be at least twice as thick as the carcass. So for a deer that is 12 inches thick at the shoulder, put it on 2 feet of base and cover it with another 2 feet of dry material. Do this inside a fence that can keep predators out - bear proof, and also small vermin like raccoons and skunks. You might need netting over the top to keep out scavenger birds.
I saw a presentation by an agricultural extension on how to compost horses. It was basically the procedure you described. The pit was very deep. Not 100% sure about the thickness of the bottom layer, but I seem to remember it being two feet of wood chips. They laid the body on that and covered it with another four feet of wood chips - making it level with the soil surface. To keep critters from digging, I believe they recommend an additional two feet of wood chips on top. This was several years ago. At the time, there weren't any methods that were agency certified and they were still working out the details.
I cannot do this living in the city but I do hot composting which have done a wonderful job on critters that needed to be removed from this area. Not a sign of the remains could be found after six weeks. I dare say thats the results you ended up with.
No but it is a great addition to your compost just be careful how much you add, small amounts. I'd do a couple shovels full and that's it in a pile this size and spread throughout.
Is there any danger when doing this with a predatory animal that may or may not unknowingly have rabies and not shown symptoms? On another note, I usually bury "meats" directly into the garden especially in areas that i know need more nitrogen. I had a bunch of old ground meat i buried about 1lb each of between my eggplant transplants earlier this spring and I've got the best eggplants I've ever grown. I did the same with some fancy gourds and they are very healthy and productive. I'd like to see an update to this video.
Would be cool to have composting solutions that would work on high nitrogen sources in dense urban areas. Like you see a dead bird or rat, and you compost it more or less in-situ then dump the composted material in a park or small garden - where the material is composted enough to be dumped in a garden or park.
You just MUST show us a follow-up after several months! At any rate, I can't legally do that in the area where I live. (I don't think your Mom was nearby while you did this!)
Hmmm, this could be an interesting plot in a vegan serial killer way of disposing of the bodies ... and selling the veggie produce to the local village with all smiles "Oh, Kyle. I just don't know how you do it, your vegetables are so much sweeter & fresher than anything I've tasted before.....
I was following you back when you were still in San Diego. I think it got frustrating to watch homesteaders when I was in a tiny apt in NYC with no balcony. Anyhow, now I live in Idaho and I nanny for a homesteader family from California. I have been bugging her to order the bokashi stuff. I want to try it with the kids. Here you are making a video on it right now.
I've heard about parents in California doing some really strange things with their kids, but you might want to make sure the parents you are working for are totally on board with your plans to bokashi compost their children.
We do the same. It's inevitable that at some stage, anyone raising livestock or poultry will experience death. One if the most best composts availavlble, it's all natural
What if you just buried the dead animals in a place that you plan on using as a future garden? This is not sarcasm. It's a legit question. Will this work for enriching that soil for future use?
Under a tree would be better. It's safer to compost something like this first before using to grow annuals. Or let it sit all winter or a long time under the soil before planting there or choose what you plan wisely not lettuce for instance.
Yo this is the truth!! I buried some birds and squirrel in a bed and for the first time i had 10 foot plants and im in a terrible grow zone lol definitely recommend if you ever have a chance/come across a carcass
Just watched your update video. Why didn't you break down the lamb and salvage some meat for yourself or your chickens if it died from getting strangled in the fence?
I never saw dead animals that way. I wish I had seen this video earlier. I've put over 75 armadillos in the trash for pickup. That was stupid. My banana trees would have loved them.
Just bury the dead critter along the dripline of a fruit or nut tree. Cover with large rocks or logs for a while to prevent digging by dogs or other scavengers. Easy peasy.
I compost my moms and my friends chickens and any meat like left overs after butchering animals in a very similar way i bokashi ferment the meat in buckets I first compost it in a pile with wood chips and leaves let it compost for 3 months then add it to a Johnson su pile let it sit for two years it feels so good not throwing anything away and getting amazing compost out of it
God said in the beginning that descendants of Adam & Eve are shepherds to God's creation. You are absolutely correct that; We respect all of life & honor animals for their sacrifice. Return everything to the sovereignty of the soil. From dust you were created, dust you shall return.
Ya know you run into all kinds of problems using dead animals in an area where you would be dealing with food that's sold. Now, you can do anything you want if you don't sell food, otherwise there's a whole lot of regulation out there.
@@NaturesAlwaysRight I'm not sure I understand. You have enough of what material to run what? What I also meant to say was if you want something that composts dead animals fast, is there anything faster than using BSF?
Just compost. There are no rules to this. If half the population would try it out, the world would be a much better place. Just try. Eventually you will be successful.
I'm in the southern AZ desert. I get so angry when the better half won't allow me to pick up road kill. Having plastic bags and an extra cooler is handy on our weekends. When I was young our puppy died way too early. My mom burried him under her corn patch. Best corn ever. I've been burying animals and our charcoal / ash to rest & thrive through plant life ever since. We often find dead mice, birds, lizards, etc & I will bury them in the compost or just near a thriving plant. Yes, if we have turned milk, I pour that in too. Nature knows❤

I agree would love to see a update on wut this pile looks like when its finished
add worms to your compost. They'll break down the road kill like nothing. Quite amazing really.
@@pavelsfera5236 Thank you, good idea!
@@janetwestrup411 I compost with worms exclusively. Their contributions to the soil are exponential.
A couple years ago I buried a couple calves and a couple goats I covered with wood chips I don’t even see many bones just beautiful soil.
I love your channel because you don't hide/sugarcoat things. I think our society is far to removed from the beauty that follows death

Is wood ash an adequate replacement for charcoal?
No but it is a great addition to your compost just be careful how much you add, small amounts. I'd do a couple shovels full and that's it in a pile this size and spread throughout.
Definitely want to see this again down the road!
How do you protect it from predators? Is the tarp sufficient?
Yes because it's so hot. I could see a bear getting in though.. not enough experience with them to know what they'll do.

There is a always risk when dealing with viruses, but normally the virus dies at high temperatures.
Bottling my first batch of labs. I’ve made homemade yogurt but never used the whey. Are they really the exact same thing?
Basically but LABS made the knf way will have much more diversity. Yogurt is made with specific strains, LABS we wild harvested our strains.

Ever considered/tried cutting up the dead animal first?
Not necessary and too much work + disgusting. Let the microbes handle it all then the bones we can make another input.
This guy is definitely going to compost the dog.😂
I thought the same thing when I seen the dog🤣

Kinda weird…but you’d prolly get better results running thru a chipper first 8D
The amount of life is commensurate to the amount of death on a farm. Get next to it..
