Appreciate that yall are always teaching and helping. Making solutions instead of crying about what we can't cure. We still praying for Michelle hope to see her better soon. Keep up the good work and God bless you all

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

Thank you so much Kip! She’s doing pretty good now.

[@markplowboygreen1295]

Great video , we fixin up our chicken and Turkey flocks , like the way you do different ways , thinking out side the box

[@dwighthires3163]

Sure looks good! I haven't said thanks for a long time that no matter what goes with other channels, you remain faithful to teaching videos. That is why you are the only Patreon I support..

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

You’re the best Dwight!

[@sheliabenson5496]

I hope your wife is feeling better. Love your videos, thanks for sharing.

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

She’s definitely back in the saddle! Thank you very much

I built a compost ring in my chicken pen today. Put leaves and old hay from last winter in it with some chicken manure.

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

Sounds like a winner to me!

[@everlayneliving1566]

Always good information and always and clear an easy watch. Thank you! I appreciate you and your family!

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

Thank you so much my friend!

[@uhlenbrock15]

Awesome! glad I saw this video. I am running a similar stationary system but with 26 birds and stay a little closer to CTOS method with a 1.5 c.y. pile a week(4 piles at any given time

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

That’s what I’m talking about!

[@rickcooper6817]

Looking forward to seeing the finished product on this one guys. I'm fixing to use up a bunch of leaves right shortly myself, good luck and thanks for all the info and great videos.

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

We will definitely keep you informed!

[@sether2774]

nearly 80 in upstate ny :) tomatoes still growing :)

[@cuznclive2236]

Good stuff, but if I use chicken cull waste where I live, every animal from miles around would come to my property for a feast! How do you manage that aspect of this process?

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

The carbon typically dampens the aroma.

[@cuznclive2236]

@@PermaPasturesFarm21 Just thinking, but if I were to add char in addition to your mix, then my compost would benefit from the inoculation as well as it would reduce tempting odors?... I'm on a char making stretch atm. Thank you for the reply!

[@ladyryan902]

👍 I just finished mowing n raking n topping a garden build. Thx

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

Thank you so much for watching the video!

[@EricSeider]

You guys are looking good in those t-shirts 🤩 you’re going to need a p.i.m.p s of permapastures farm calendar.🤣 Thanks so much for the shout out. You guys truly embody one of the key principles of permaculture. Cooperation not competition.

You’re the man brother!

A good way to do this in an urban setting is like i do it. The carbon diaper becomes the floor of the chicken run and the floor of the roosting house. Throw all ur daily food scraps into the run. When it becomes too wet (rain and snow do that) add the roost bedding on top. I usually clean the run out once a month in the summer and from fall through winter i just keep adding until early spring (mid to late feb). I have a bin that collects all the clean outs...it just builds and builds until the bin is full and then i start turning it. I currently have my fall compost working now and in its 2nd turn. Ill turn it 3 more times and it will be done, then i put it under a tree and against our fence to rest and cool and really charge up the fungal growth for the rest of spring and summer, and use it to top my garden off when i put it to sleep or replant it in the fall and winter.....and the cycle continues. The chickens get all the greens from the garden and i get really rich compost as a byproduct. Just the way i do it.

[@jvin248]

If you want to not need to flip the compost pile constantly, make two rings like a doughnut, so that nothing is more than a foot away from the inner or outer ring, and you'll have a modified Johnson-Su Bioreactor. A one foot dia inner ring is all you need as long as it can support air flow.

[@sarahvadas2536]

My favorite line from this episode definitely has to be "You are going to take the mothballs off of words you may not use every single day" 🤣🤣🤣

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

Just keeping it real Sarah!

[@SouthernMiss87]

Great video, thank you! I need to source all these components. I for sure need some Washington DC

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

I know exactly what you mean…

[@wakeUPdummies]

I love compost. I have 3 piles for 3 different purposes. You get out what you put in, in a sense.

[@spartacus3015]

I was just thinking about messaging you about using the blood from the chickens in compost system or making blood meal.

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

He definitely has a lot of nutrients!

[@theahalme]

Loving you can scale down for urban areas💯 manageable for amount space✌️😎👍💩✝️🙏💜

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

Eric is the best at it!

[@EricSeider]

@@PermaPasturesFarm21 I’m pretty good but I definitely learned from the best, the master chef of compost Geoff Lawton.

[@morningmystfarm2017]

Pull some mothballs out on curse words 🤣 Yep, been there done that!

[@thedixonway]

Love this compost method. We're covered in snow now so it's over for us. Would a couple t-posts on the downhill side not hold it up for you? Keep up the great work!

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

I’m so sorry to hear about that Snow my friend… Especially while I’m sitting out here in a T-shirt.

[@angelpate4082]

I feel a bit like an utter failure. I have a good sized pile in the Chicken coop. I started maybe too late in the year. Every 2 days I turn my pile of frozen globs of compost. it is most certainly not heating up. 😧 I really do not know what to do with it . Just keep adding and turning. hope it will heat up at - 10 deg. I don't know.

[@richardatlavenderhomestead3170]

We just butchered some roosters today and started another 18 day compost. Can’t wait to start our chicken tractor on steroids back up after we deal with some predators.

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

That’s what I’m talking about!

Feet? In your compost pile? Dude those sell for 12 dollars a pound in California. Pastured chicken feet are big $$$

[@PermaPasturesFarm21]

There are definitely some great uses for them!
