MEAT in Your COMPOST!? | Learn to compost anything!!
Рет қаралды 153,262
2 жыл бұрынMany compost tutorials will tell you not to add meat, blood, and other animal parts to your compost pile for fear of attracting wildlife or unwanted pests. However, we compost our animal waste every single year and end up with beautiful, nutrient-rich compost that’s ready to be added to our garden soil. In this video, we’ll show you how!

Yup! My last town didn't let us compost animal waste due to the concern of how much space they had and percentages of material. Much easier on a small municipality to just use carbon and vegetation. In the city I'm in now you are only restricted on animal waste. No litter no urine no feces. All else is fine 🙂

In reality there is lots of gore to farm life even roses thrive from "bone meal" people think horror movies desensitize kids to violence but I woke up one morning with my Dad and brother bleeding a pig out hanging from a tree when I was 6 or so because we have to eat this winter. We moved from the city to save my brothers from joining violent gangs but they co op at butcher shops and black smiths instead slaughtering forging weapons and such.

I seem to remember in school learning that native Americans would bury fish when planting corn. Basically composting in place. Also, I read a scientific paper describing how important the salmon run is to the forest because bears and eagles leave fish carcases littered way up from river banks, which decomposes and feeds the soil.

Animal protein makes some of the richest soil. When I first started composting several decades ago, I lived in town. At that time I was told not to compost anything but vegetation because everything else would attract animals into my yard and that it would stink. Fast forward to today and I live in the country. Meat by products are getting composted. Actually our fish carcasses and entrails are getting buried immediately around our rhubarb plants and we get great rhubarb every year. No problems with wild life getting into our compost or odor. With any type of compost, it needs to have that drier vegetation (carbon) mixed in with it like you've used the wood shavings. Otherwise all you'll have is a garbage dump pile. Josh, with all of the chores you do daily, would you really have time to turn the pile every day? You're far from being lazy. Thank you for sharing this and if done properly, you get rid of waste and end up with BLACK GOLD. God bless you and your beautiful family 😊 Mickey

On a smaller scale, what I do is just put all my kitchen waste, whether it is meat or whatever scraps into a bucket and store it up. (well, I actually strore up bones and carrot tops and whatnot in the freezer and make stock, but eventually the solids from that stock end up in the same bucket). Then I just let it stew in the bucket until the next time I turn my compost (I have a 3 bay pallet compost area and I just rotate the piles back and forth). Drop that bucket of kitchen scraps right in the centre of the pile as I'm re-stacking it, borken up a little with some of the other compost materials. The animals won't be able to get to it, nor would they want to, since it's gonna be really hot there in the middle. Before this, when I was just throwing the scraps on the pile, I had to watch what I put into it, and even if I did, I still had problems with rats. Since I started doing it this way, no more rats. I also fill milk bottles with urine for use on the garden, as compost (and pretty much any 'organic' fertilizer) is a still going to be low in nitrogen on the PNK ratios for most garden foodcrops. Great for building soil and holding your P and K, but N needs regular replenishment, especially with crops like tomatoes.

Question: Can this be done on a smaller scale in a bucket? I wish all men were more like you and all women were more like your wife. I'm not praising you per se, but the God of creation that I see working through you. May the love of Jesus abide in you.

I do it in a five gallon bucket out the back door and have never had a problem with wildlife or bad odors....

You could keep any of the organs or gizzards that you don't use for yourself, you could keep for your dogs and cats. I keep these things for my dogs and they LOVE them.

One lady on You Tube cans her gizzards. She said that canning them made them tender when she fried them. God bless.

I love this! I was wondering does this pile see you through the year or do you also need to invest in outside compost too?

We pressure cook chicken carcasses with a bunch of veggies for stock. Are those leftovers good for compost? I always thought it already spent all its nutrients.

No sawmills, check with local tree cutting companies. Sometimes local municipalities also have trimmings. Hope this helps. God bless.

Love your content! I also live in north Idaho. How do you keep your compost pile alive throughout our winters?
@zombiemaster123456 Жыл бұрын
lots of mass but it will go dormant and spring back into action in the spring just like nature intended

I love the video, I'm dying to know where you got so much wood shavings? I would love to see a follow up video where you compost the cows, pigs and sheep.

I didn't realise the tractor shovel was raised ,I thought it was flat on the ground ,then the dog disappeared! 😁 Great video ! Can I ask why you didn't feed the offal to the pigs ?
@hair2fab 2 жыл бұрын
Love this! Great info for anyone! Our pigs get the offal, minus the feathers, we boil it all together at the end, ice it and serve. Its their favorite day of the year!

In Karachi Pakistan we have compost of Animal remainings from slaughterhouses usually called "intestine manure" in our Urdu language "Ojhri ki khad" very rich in fertility Once I purchased it from nursery he has fresh stock of it and I saw steam coming out from it when he put a shovel in it to fill my 50kg Bag he charged me 150 rupees almost a 1 USD for it.

Aw, Man, I can't believe you waste the gizzards! They are so good.

In africa animal guts (cleaned) and blood (except Chicken and pigs) are a delicacy. The only thing that goes to waste is fethers, bones and brains. The cow hide is either dried into a rug or the hair is scrapped off and skin gets cooked.
