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.

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

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.

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
@WhatcomCD2 жыл бұрын
Manure application rate depends on a few factors - crop, timing, source, and location. I would recommend starting with a manure test and a soil test. There are local labs for manure tests in Whatcom County if that’s where you live. Our closest soil lab is in Burlington. You can find nutrient uptake benchmarks for various crops in Land Grant University guidance such as OSU’s “Manure Application Rates for Forage Production” by Troy Downing and Dan M. Sullivan. Once you know your crop needs you can compare to your soil test and supplement as needed based on your manure test.

I have a ravine in my yard that’s been cut down by erosion over decades. It’s around 10-6’ wide and 5-6’ deep. Every time it pours there’s runoff from a bridal path - which is now also eroding deeper - through our clay soil. I’ve been here 20 years. I started by putting our used Christmas trees in at one point. Then logs from tree work in my yard. This has worked well to encourage deposition after a series of dams I’ve made with rocks from the land (and some leftover concrete landscaping blocks). Now there are small pools after each little dam & deposition. I keep adding limbs and branches. It’s working.

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.

Very good recommendations. But you didn't talk about the reverse. You didn't talk about alfalfa overseeding. One method to do this is with a pasture no-till drill. I oversaw a program that did this in West-Central Idaho for a Conservation District that used this method. Worked amazingly well where sufficient water was available for germination and establishment. Very good video!
@rockyfjord37532 жыл бұрын
Unless something has changed over the decades, you cannot overseed alfalfa with new alfalfa seed, as the new will kill the standing alfalfa and vice versa. That's what I learned in decades past, and I would advise to check that out before overseeding and ruining what you have. Alfalfa must be ploughed up, and a new crop sown, preferably under a cover crop such as wheat or oats. Rotating to corn or beans in between would assure the old alfalfa plants are killed off.
