Build Soil with Chickens | Composting System - No Till Gardening

#composting #permaculture #chickens #notillgardening Building fertile soil using compost from the chicken composting system. This is how I harvest and use the compost as well as results. This is a great method to start a no till garden and incorporate chickens into a permaculture plot.

You keep any roosters? I used to see wild ones when I was living down in Louisiana in the 90's for a bit .

[@FastGardeningMichigan]

@@4quall no. Might not be great for non-free range birds. The ones I buy are listed as pullets, but occasionally a rooster gets mixed in. Hopefully the new 6 are all hens

@@FastGardeningMichigan or you get a chicken dinner in the upcoming months ha

i have my chickens drop manure on wood shavings in the coop and run . Is it possible to just grab the wood shavings with manure on them and throw them on top of soil to amend it?

[@FastGardeningMichigan]

@@Steven-yx1ic I do the same under the roost. Without them getting mixed oxygen can't fire up so I use that when I make 18 day compost. In the run, yes. The chickens constantly mix it up. You'll want to add other materials as well. When it's compost it will look like compost when it's done, no matter what ingredients

[@Steven-yx1ic]

@@FastGardeningMichigan ok, i was also thinking horse manure, i get it for free and its safe, i was going to just lay fresh horse manure on top of soil and let it sit for a year to amend the soil, same thing i was thinking with chicken manure and wood shavings. so much to do, but this is also my first year growing and its been really good.
