Making Compost: Homemade Johnson Su Compost System
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 вер 2024
- We created our own Homemade Compost Bins for large scale composting. We made Johnson Sue Compost within the Homemade Compost System. The Johnson Su Compost is fed to our Worm Farm to make Vermicompost. We also use the Compost to make Compost Extract Inoculant. The Inoculant is used on our Cover Crop and Regenerative Non-GMO Corn.

Nice work
Great Job Ryan! Keep up the good work
Thanks!
We can see that you're in love with the entire process. Can I be honest?....I feel like for the effort put into the composting process, the anticlimax for this process is the long duration to compost. Certainly, this is a hot composting method without turning. Without the pipes, the materials can break down in that same amount of time. But, you are the first person to demonstrate the complete breakdown of all layers
Just found your channel mate. Fabulous content love it.
Thank you!
Great video! Thanks!
When your compost is active, it likely lowers your energy consumption to heat your shop in the winter. Good idea of doing two benefits at once
The use of seed bags is a good one. We tried using geotextile fabric but found it to be too breathable resulting in the outside getting too dry. Did you cover the totes and water? BTW, I so appreciate your videos as it's really hard to find detailed farm scale compost information for guys that don't have mega-bucks to hire consultants. Thank you😀
We do not cover them, but we do water them daily or every other day. It’s easy to make them on a large scale very cheap. We just try to use what we have laying around.
Do test all your bins
Do ypu have a watering system
Been thinking about making one myself. We've got plenty of those seed bags at home too. How long do they last before breaking down?
I was told 2 years. I’ve had compost in those bags for 1.5 years and the bags were fine yet.
how many weeks before it cooled down enough to add worms ?
I believe it took about a month or so.
What are you going to use to extract it?
I have a continuous flow extractor I use.
What temperature is your compost getting to in the thermophylic stage?
It usually gets up to 140. It has never gotten over 160.
@@gibbsfieldfarms I made 10 J/Ss this summer and I had some get to around 145 and others that only got to around 110. I didn't use any manure or alfalfa so that is probably why. I think I didn't have them packed enough and the material was not broken down enough and there was too much air getting in. I hope the lower temperature ones work out ok if I'm going to babysit them all winter haha. I'm keeping them in an insulated reefer trailer, can fit two on each side with enough room between to walk through. Hope I can keep it above 32f in -30 temperatures. I found you from your live talk with Young Red Angus. Keep up the videos I look forward to them.
@@gibbsfieldfarms Are you grinding the alfalfa and other materials up before putting it in the TMR mixer? I'm looking either a vertical TMR mixer or a bale grinder. I was using my skid steer to sort of roll the material and mix it. Trying to think of what would be a better investment.
Thanks for the great video! For space savings you can stack this at least three high. We do this when they are full of 2,200Lb liquid raw materials daily in our chemical plant.
