Absolutely correct method for compost as for what I know. Nearly 40 years ago I came across the same recipe, made 1000's of cubic metres with all sorts of ingredients, using an abandoned silo + wind powered auger, over-cooked a few, assumed that was at least a half-assed bio-char sort of material, otherwise good batches, spread extra on 2 acres of farmer's field over 3 years when he stopped his combine one day in 8 ft. corn and asked "What the hell did you do? I have to slow the combine." There was too much leaf. Corn ears were large but he was right, way to much plant. I did not tailor the compost ingredients to the desired crop properties, but didn't care, my garden was teaming with life. Oh how I miss it. You are a determined one Mr. Perkins. I have not come across many who took the science literature then sensibly rolled it into profitable practice. Quality never rests.

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. :-)

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.

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.

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?

I'd like to slowly build up to rotational grazing practices. Thank you for any positive comments and guidance.

@djpaz75 4 жыл бұрын

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.

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).

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.

Richard I have a huge free source of small wood chips, it's difficult for me to get straw and it's not cheap what I can find. If I have to use woodchips, do I need more time for it to break down or need much more nitrogen to balance it up more to the 30/1 ratio? Your videos have helped me loads. you have the best, neatest farm I have seen.

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.

you were quite clean with your chicken work space while the person next to you was the opposite. that person reminded me of sites I seen while travelling the world.
