When you see someone giggle about their business making high quality compost, that is a good day!

She LOVES what she does. So does Dad. This type of passion is so rare nowadays - thanks for highlighting their operation ❤

Her humbled enthusiasm & knowledge is worthy of having schools do field trips here. She will inspire so many of our little ones!

Every farming community needs a good compost facility, wish I had learned this back when I could still get it done.

I'm on 20 acres just North of Brisbane Australia. We take lots of green garden waste we slow compost. After a few years I combine 3 rows into one with mulch grabs on a 7 ton excavator. I've turned our poor sandy soil into black gold. I've also used pigs to break down piles and add fertiliser. We're now growing top quality vetiver grass, an anti erosion plant with roots up to 6m. Also hosted a syntropic market garden.

I wish more fathers and daughters were in tune like these too they really love nature really gives me hope for humanity 🙏

The joy for her passion is spilling out of the smile on her face, it's wonderful to see people are still interested in caring for our planet and knowing the life in our soil so well.

She is an absolute jewel. That little giggle about the Bob Rynk joke: golden

I am at the pitchfork and wheelbarrow stage and yesterday i turned my pile and it's really cooking!

Is this not the cutest family operation!? She seems like a good kid that is passionate about the garden.

She's a truly good person. I love the passion this family has for their trade and the good that it does for our planet

This dad must giggle with happiness every day at having such a wonderful daughter. Congrats my man!

She is a beautiful soul who really knows and loves what she's doing.What a great opportunity to expand on your dad's dream and making it your own. Happy to see them succeeding at something they are so passionate about.

I don't really post comments, and I often forget to support videos by liking. I had to do both because of how transparent, honest and informative that video was. Everything these days is proprietary and secret recipes, so it was really refreshing how they really seem to want to give all the help they can to others looking to do what they do. I just have a worm bucket to make castings for my plants, and stumbled across this page, but I feel like I have a friend in the industry if I ever decide to go big!

I used their compost for my cut flower flower field this year and had AMAZING results - beyond grateful to leave nearby their awesome composting operation!! 🌸❤️

These people are the cornerstone of America. Wholesome and down-to-earth people. I love them and everything they are doing!

Wow, I loved this video! I am so into learning about compost and I was also touched with how sweet this young lady is with her dear old dad! The loving relationship between these two is what makes the video so special!

I wish every company was run like this!!! Absolutely amazing people and they are concerned about the environment around them and the impact they can have on it. They also take care of the land so nature takes care of them too. I'm in love! You are an incredible family and I wish you all the best. You deserve it!!

This is excellent! What an asset to their community to have such a high quality facility like this. Wish they were in Ohio!

I love this womes, she's so sweet and funny and so happy. Like she actually is enjoying being there with her husband making mulch. So fascinating. I really enjoyed watching this, and I loved this woman and the dude. Cool people. Her laugh is awesome and makes me smile. Thank you.

I luv seeing the generations out there working together passing down info and secrets to the art I wish there were a few more of these companys in New England

This was great! It seems like this family operation is in great hands under Jane's stewardship. I, too, would love to hear about some method to avoid plastic bags. I'm glad they seem to have their eye on this issue.

Earth Care Farm is a wonderful family composting operation, I see that they have good relationships with suppliers and buyer of their products, can’t wait for the next instalment ❤

What a lovely character she has, I'm sure she brings sunshine to every persons life that she meets. Made me happy to watch this.

The cutest and most passionate authentic people I have seen in the longest time. Thanks for sharing this life and purpose!

AMAZING, the passion in their work, the way they explain it almost philosophically it's really inspiring.

Nice! Thanks for the tour! I'm in the early stage of a similar composting operation. I started with a pitchfork too, driving around town to collect leaves and grass clippings as people mowed their grass for the last time in the fall. I built a couple huge piles of mostly carbon materials. Every day I would collect the coffee grounds and food waste from a local coffeehouse. They produced about two five-gallon buckets a day. I would dig a hole into the pile and dump the buckets, then cover it over. Next day, I dug a hole next door to yesterday's so I slowly rotated the holes around the circular piles, adding fresh food scraps to the top layer. Every couple weeks, I would turn the pile by pitchfork. The food scraps and coffee grounds were enough nitrogen to keep the piles smoking hot all winter long, even at high altitude in the Rocky Mountains in Wyoming. The work was enough to keep me in good physical shape too! Years later, I started keeping horses, and composting their manure. Horse manure has a near-perfect carbon nitrogen ratio, so the manure and urine-soaked bedding creates a hot pile without adding anything else. I use a small loader to turn the piles, in an operation like the one in this video, but a smaller scale. I build my piles against a long retaining wall, and each time I turn the pile, I start in the pile at the "garden end" of the retaining wall, and turn that end of the pile farther toward the garden. Then I work my way along the pile, and turn the whole thing until I reach the "barn end" of the retaining wall. That's where the fresh manure comes from the barn each day. On turning day, I take the manure that has built up at the barn end, and make the newest pile at the barn end of the existing pile. The compost is finished and ready to use after about three months in the pile. Then I use a wheelbarrow to move it into the garden and top-dress all the beds. I also keep a couple hot frames, with two layers of compost inside a structure, with a greenhouse-like lid over the top. The bottom layer is fresh manure-rich compost, that is still hot when I load the hot frame. Then I put a foot-deep layer of the oldest compost on top, and plant directly into the old compost. It allows me to extend the gardening season by a couple months, using the heat from the hot bottom layer to avoid freezing the plants inside the frame. I make more compost than I can use in the garden, and I try to give away the excess, but I find few people want it. Gardeners seem to be convinced that home-made compost is full of weed seeds, despite the high temperatures. I wind up spreading the excess on a grassy field where my wife jumps her horses. the added compost makes the ground softer, and helps avoid injuries to the horses' legs. If you happen to be near Denver, I'm happy to give away that excess. It's NOT full of weed seeds!

Girl is on point, she knows whats what, listened to everyone thats spoken before her, so young and already full of knowledge. Top shelf winner right there.

What a wonderful family and Operation. I wish all facilities had this mind set !!!

Compost is the start for every succesfull NoDig garden. Thanks for sharing this beautiful video.

This is exactly what i was looking for, trying to start a composting business of my own, only have about an acre to work with, this helped a ton. Never owned a business or anything but i cant wait to get started.

I am so happy you are getting such enjoyment out of your career. Back a few years when we were property owners I had composting going for ourselves it made for beautiful gardens and there was always worms for fishing. I miss the interactions with the land. Thank you for disseminating this knowledge.

her laughs when she is so happy about every data point are so adorable

Every farming community needs a good compost facility

I love her passion for her business. She is such a neat lady! I would happily do business or even just visit such a place. It would be great to see this operation again.

What a fascinating place. A family coming together to make a product that can be used by so many people to help recycle the materials of life❤

It's so nice listening to people so passionate about one subject!

I love their passion for what they do, thanks for filming and sharing videos like this one, they're such enjoyable interviews / tours.

Seeing people like this with so much passion for compost restores my faith in humanity

Loved this one! So cool that they shared so much of their process and encouraged others to start their own composting operation. Thanks Jesse

She is lovely. God bless her

what a cheerful woman to be around

Thank you for the video. Amazing information Amazing people God bless you

I will not be starting a compost operation any time soon, but this is for me, now I am more knowledgeable than the average guy , thanks to this great family who care about nature

I love these two, Dad and daughter. So inspiring.

What a great video! So enjoyable seeing this father - daughter team Jean & Mike at Earthcare & learn about composting on a larger scale than my own. Love this! Thank you!

what a beautiful gigantic compost system you have - love the organic compost you are making

She's so excited and knowledgeable about her business. I can believe in a product created with such care.

What a lovely family

Warms my heart. Other than my wife and children, I get the most joy in my life out of my small farm. I don't make money off it, but I enjoy learning by trial and error. Composting arborist waste and growing pumpkins in compost makes me feel at peace.

i love what they did. i love the idea.

Thank you for all this information .. it’s great to see this all happening in real life. And what a joyful and cute host!

Great content. A reminder that even small farms can manage/source inputs & make a value added product to generate income.

I love that you both get the chance to talk and it's family inclusive and respectful to each other and each's pace :)

Who knew compost could be so sweet to learn about. I'm learning. So inspiring! Thank you.

i just love her enthusiasm

Started a small compost operation, in year 3, it absolutely does build over time.

Excellent. I compost for fun on two suburban acres fir the past seven years. I have a compact tractor with a loader. I get wood chips dumped for free from two different companies I contacted. I called the local race track and contacted the company that hauls the manure/bedding that is dumped for free. I don’t get all the material collected just overflow when it’s convenient for them. I estimate I get five yards a week. It’s very relaxing to manage the process. I give most of it away but it I’ve contemplated how to turn it into a small business.

I love there positive energy and love for the proces .. keep it up ya'll thanks !

Absolutely fantastic wholesome family operation.

I’m just a residential gardener in Phoenix, AZ but I’m fascinated watching “No Till Growers” particularly this series on composting 🎉

Their passion is beautiful ❤

Great video as always Jesse. As a trained compost dacility operator i learned a few management principles from Jane's clear descriptions.

What a sweet family!!

Very excited! Library finally got the copies of your book I asked them to order and I get to check one out tomorrow!

Thank you for the informative video! From the other side of the world I'm able to listen to such nice people and learn about such a vital process, this is what sustains us as species!

Tell Jane we need more podcast episodes, she's the best

Such a delight after listening to Jane on the compost pod cast.

this video actually tells us what needs to happen with wood chips... they need to be composted carefully with other components for a period of time and then sifted, and reworked before they're used.... very nice design in their operation

Beautiful natural forest, what a fantastic place and a great facility.

What delightful people and what a wonderful life they have. Well done and very blessed.

Such lovely, such great work. All power to you and for the future of your family farm.

I love how they've gone from "commercial" farming to adaptation for a permaculture facility. The addition of the wildflowers, the swales, water retention gives them far more freedom to operate the composting facility without a lot of bought materials. Well done 👍. Yes, if I do live on the other side of the continent, I would buy this compost. They're careful, keeping good records and allowing them microbiology to become a thriving part of the compost. Thank you for providing the video so others can see how compost should be done.👏👍

🙏Thank you. I'm in the investigative and learning stages in my area. It's a bit complicated with regard to watershed and permits. We're so well situated... farm land with massive tonnages of refuse, pulp mills, lumber mills.... even a Scott's mulch processing yard. We're central to 3 tourist industries, including coastal recreation, which means loads of all the right bi-products. But the regulations are intimidating. I just want good dirt. Seeing her children play in the stream a few yards away from this operation is incredibly invigorating. So, Thank you.

Compost is the bomb! I will not add my story about the truly amazing results in my ornamental garden. You've heard it before. but what you are doing, at that scale is a wonderful thing,

Omg , nice sharing. Awesome. Composting with Large Volume.

On my old farm we didn't have much good topsoil, mostly rocky and clay. I thought of doing scale composting to improve my soil. My dad did composting for his garden where he had different piles and checked the temp. He also did composting toilets. Nice video.

I have been dreaming about a video like this. Gods work!!!!!

So lovely to see someone composting on a large scale, I love your passion and indept knowledge, wish I had the time to do the same. Your dad must be really proud of you continuing his vision love it.

I love how the dad and daughter interact and I wish my relationship with my daughters when they grow up are like that!

I did not know this info about hawks and eagles. Interesting tidbit on the weeds on the outside. Great info on the puddles!! Inspiring info. Thank you for sharing!!

I wish we had a great compost place like that. thanks for sharing.

Such an informative episode! I love seeing all the ins and outs of an operation like this. I'm also curious about compost prices around the country. Obviously there's a lot that goes into an operation like this, and I know everything is more expensive on the coasts, but my jaw dropped at $82/yard. We pay about $35-$40/yard here in Indiana. I'm curious to hear more about what prices are like in different places.

Thank you for all the content you share with us. I have a passion for anything that involves soil. If you keep posting, I’ll keep watching!! Thanks for the nuggets! RESPECT

This is awesome! When I lived in central Michigan there was a business called Dairy Doo that would make high quality compost from their dairy cows’ manure.

This is an amazing space. I plan on opening a composting facility of my own soon. Thank you for the tour

Fascinating stuff - we compost all of our manure, organic scraps and yard waste so I found this very helpful!

What a lovely family operation 🙏😊

Started out with a pick fork and and a pickup truck. Love it!

I love how much she loves that dead tree and sees it importance,., thanks for the amazing info,., doing what we can to implement composting in chicago

Their passion for what they do made me tear up. I loved every second of the video.

About a month ago I got a yard rake. Between that and my baby kubota im doing about the same thing. My neighbor has almost 2 acres of grass by their driveway and ive made a huge twinkie shaped pile now.

Man! From *Brazil* accept my gratitude for your work and shared knowledge ♥

What a great operation! We are a small farm, and are always researching how to use what we produce…even the manure 😃

Incredible video on compost. The operator is very passionate about all of this and that has to be recognized. So good, it made it to my saved list.

She has a cute giggle and personality what fun people

What a fantastic operation.

Great walk around, you go girl , love seeing the passion you have ✌🏼💚✌🏼💚💪🏻🙏🏻

Gives our small compost business hope. Thanks for sharing. Very inspiring.

Amazing, I could listen to these guys all day. I'm in the UK, made my first compost this year in the garden., I got the mix right but lots of weeds so didnt generate the heat. I will try again this year. Great content, I didnt know how good compost is made at scale.
