Where is the ignition point? This expensive scalder came with NO instructions , no diagrams, horrible. Anyone? Where is the point of ignition? Where to hold the lighter? TIA...the idiotic directions say to not have your face near the hole when you light, but, how do you see where to direct the flame? Horrible design

What a wonderful compromise, live stock, the buffer zone which gets fertilized by the runoff.

Thank you for sharing this knowledgeful session.

Thank you. A very useful video.

Great info! Thanks

Thank you for this video! I rented from King CD and this is the first video that has been helpful with getting the pilot lit

Be aware that "Community Yard Debris" . If PastureGard or Duracor have been sprayed on it. On most garden plants the leaves will curl, it will take the plant three times longer to bloom, and it will produce nothing for years. Just from feeding sheep hay on my garden. I can't find any answer as to how long it will take for these chemicals to break down.

Thank you, the instructions are not clear. You have corrected that for me.

this video is good but do you have any idea related to tillage count. please share any video for no of tillage in a plot

Thank you. Nicely explained!!

This is the best video i have seen on this subject. As a homeowner with many acres of streams and ponds on their property, this is a huge help

Very nice video! Appreciate it! Have you heard of the Regrarians farm plan? It has a very nice layer categorization.

How much air volume do I need?

Excellent presentation .. thank you so much

A point about C/N ratio which you need to check. A kilo of wood chips and a kilo of manure do not have equal ration of Carbon and Nitrogen. If you think logically with this assumption you would actually be composting wood chips rather than any other organic material and taking years to finish a pile while using all the wood chips around you. A kilo or cubic foot of wood chips has 400 times more carbon as compared to Nitrogen in corresponding wt or volume of manure, if manure is considered pure Nitrogen, which it is not and also has some Carbon elements. Therefore, one kg wood chips and one kg manure 1:1 would have a C/N ratio of 400:1. In order to achieve 30:1 ratio, roughly one kg wood chips with 14 kg of manure is required. A suggestion to all pl check this yourself and do not bother so much about ratio, it is very difficult to achieve an exact ratio. Same way other carbon elements added in the mixture also have a higher carbon than the Nitrogen in the greens.

greetings- thank you very much for all of this info- very help full american in the philippines- perhaps i have one of the first ASP systems in the philippines. i am trying- and learning. it is hard here to find more organic ( herbicide free, carbon source, so i turned to saw dust from wood working shops and chicken manure as well as some moringa and madre de agua,lawn grass etc. think i need a bigger blower or longer on time . right now temps are round 130 F. at this time i run the blower one minute per hour 24 hours a day ( except for when we have black out- which happens all the time here. my first asp is 8 foot by 8 foot. will try to build a longer one soon as saw dust does take a long time . i am very curious about your doing pig manure as i plan to try this in the future. once i learn the system better included in my plans is using the compost to feed composting worms, already have 4 by 16 foot worm bed ( full of African night crawler's) but had to slow down their reproduction rate to get going on composting bedding for them

Seriously, blaming the beavers for degradation of riparian habitat diminishes credibility of the presentation. Any North Ametican naturalist or historian is well aware the blame lies with misuse of the environment beginning with white European settlement.(12:06 12:08)

Private land is Private, government doesn't need to manage "Public" resources on private land!!

I learned in times past that new alfalfa seed cannot be sown among a standing crop of alfalfa as the two plants will kill each other. Alfalfa cannot be reseeded like grasses. If I am wrong on this, then something has changed in plant genetics since I grew up on a dairy farm decades ago.

Please introduce black soldier flies to your field. Just seeing all those flies biting the cattle reminds me of my poor boer goats balls. They were all bit up but now we have fish and chicken feed just by tossing dog or goat poop in the larvae bin.

For collecting dataset on the field electronically, how do you accommodate innacurrate GPS coordinates due to bad connection? Do you have back up GPS like Tom toms or Garmin's?

Is there anywhere that discusses run off in more detail?

That gal is amazing. I'd hire her in a second.

Good afternoon. Where can you read about this technology? how to maintain temperature. How to calculate the amount of air? Have a book or articles?

Great job, wish you best luck from Pakistan

why is the presentation view so reduced as to make it impossible to read it?

It follows

How to control smell when you have all kinds of garbage mixed into pile?

Eh why not reintroduce beavers nature does things like this for us beavers would be a much better alternative way of restoring lost wetlands

Hello! Really educative,please can you help explain how one can know the quantity of manure application rate to apply on soil for crop yield

ive got a decent size creek in my back yard and its dry most of the year but its a raging river when it rains. mostly storm run off. id love to be able to improve it in some way.

Structures like these have been used since the late 1960’s. It’s great to see them being implemented!! Thx

Very informative lecture Dr. Troy. Learned a lot"

Thank you posting as I missed the original presentation. The WUI was an eye opener. All info helpful as I convert our property to native plantings. Thank you!!

Way to go Mike, Julia, Corina! Great information and presentation! Love the compost heated classroom! How cool is that!

About the comment @ 47:46 .. including geothermal #1> small piles in winter Larger compost piles generate enough heat to continue to work through the cold winters .. thus no need for geothermal assistance .. smaller compost piles in cold winters might not self generate enough heat , and run the risk of cooling off and going dormant .. digging down a few feet for a short trench to get some geothermal pre-heating of the inlet air can allow even a small pile to continue to function continuously well into very low winter ambient air temperatures .. as far as asking for examples of this .. there are several examples of the use of such geothermal pre-heating of inlet air on smaller piles in the book "The Compost-Powered Water Heater" by Gaelan Brown. #2> Chimney effect for reduced fan in summer. Geothermal cooling of the inlet air in the summer can allow for reducing the amount of energy needed for fans to move the same amount of air in 2 ways .. 1st in the summer the colder geothermal temperatures can create a small thermal syphon pulling warmer ambient air down into the colder geothermal air inlet as that air is cooled by the cooler geothermal temperatures .. 2nd way is , the now cooler than ambient air inlet to pile temperatures also increase the temperature difference between inlet and pile core , there by increasing the chimney effect in the pile itself .. thus ultimately reducing the amount of energy needed by the fans to move the same amount of air inlet into the pile. - - - - - However .. there is no free lunch .. all such geothermal augmented compost air inlet systems have additional excavation costs to be considered for the air inlet being geothermal heated or cooled .. and thus , any potential operating expense savings will have to be weighed against the additional initial expense and any possible maintenance of the additional system.

Love this system. I belong to a Community Garden in Australia. We have 5 compost bays. We start off with one and that gets turned into the other bins one after the other. Very work intensive. This system looks much easier. Do you know how long the blower needs to be used each day?

The app is a great idea and seems pretty. User friendly, but aside from taking a photo, there is no explanation about where or to whom to send the report. I see no local group listed...on the app. Am I wrong?

Wow you cover a lot of good topics in the video production space! We enjoy what you talk about, don't stop. Anytime you are in Scottsdale let us know. If you want, DM us @dmakproductions on Instagram and we can connect. You kill it!

It can eat also the cows this kind of grass??? I'm just only a beginner of farming so I'm still doing research and get some ideas for my farming.im thankful if you can give some advice to educate me more to inhance my knowledge about farming and take care as well my goats and cows. Thanks and God bless 🙏🙏🙏 have a nice day

Where can buy the seeds this kind of grass, because need to plant for using feedings for my goat? Thanks and God bless 🙏

is this app dead? it has become very glitchy and the download options dont fully work

are any of the required workshops scheduled?

What's a biological test?

Awesome! Keep it up! Would you like to be KZfaq friends? :]
