Well done Archie. Great to see a young man who's not afraid of hard work

[@Mylesluvs80085]

“The compost is that good, you plant a four inch nail, you can grow a crowbar. It’s that good” What a phrase 🙌🏽

[@tausa75]

“Plant a nail and you get a crowbar” - love it! It’s a job I never knew existed until now. Great report.

[@lcthen1690]

Very unique but respectable work. But for your long term health, can you guys wear mask when you are under the shed. You are unsung hero.

[@andreaknibbs9328]

I was just going to post the same they should def be wearing some kind of lung protection

[@user-um5wg6bw5x]

They should be wearing hi grade dust masks. Awesome job otherwise. As a gardener I really appreciate the work and the innovation shown by creating the custom machine implement.

[@KD-uh8zw]

What a great story! Not something this townie (me) would ever think about needing to be done. Thank you Mr Rogers... and wonderful that you get to see Australia at the same time.

"Plant a 4-inch nail you'd get a crowbar" - that's amazing :D Shot @2:50 is iconic.

[@meirionevans5137]

'Plant a 4inch nail & grow a crowbar' Love it.

[@caz7363]

Wow, what a hard worker - never judge a book by its cover - well done Sir ❤

[@user-ii1di7fy7c]

This was my favourite job as a kid collecting garden manure

[@Gibaskesemarfarm]

Well done sir. Such an inspiring video

[@user-sp4gy7ko5l]

Good fertilizer that.

[@tjgelliott]

Kiwi sheds, the grills lift out. When I was 17 my mate and I cut a deal with the Rotary club. $1.50/sack which they sold for $3. We were making $150/hr 20 years ago.

[@rickthelian2215]

Great compost😊

[@cherylmillard2067]

Archie should wear a respirator when working with dried manure, urine, mold, and airborne pathogens, etc., especially in an environment where there's limited exchange of fresh air. I like how Robin Rogers mentioned the snake and added he has to respect them; some people would automatically default to their knee jerk reaction and kill it which is unnecessary if your life's not in danger.

[@juneeldridge4961]

Good on you mate not too many left. Margaret from Australia

[@sandramaiden4707]

Oh man, that stuff is gold in the gardens. Ive done it!

[@tempestgrav]

Go Archie, you legend! ✌️

[@rickmalaschenko3046]

A job well done , one that's usually saved for winter , with the chemicals used in drenching , I would recommend a breathing apparatus. Goodluck

[@jimbobcharles2782]

Would not a dust mask be an Occupational Health requirement?

[@orrgazmo]

Why aren’t they wearing a some sort of respirator? Surely breathing all that dust with traces of manure ain’t that good for the lungs.

[@johnwright9372]

Talk about Hercules cleaning out the Augean Stables. Respect.

[@notoioudmanboy]

That's very interesting, no remote controls or cameras? Might get in touch with this bloke.

[@PMSCOTT68]

I used to help dad do this in our woolshed. All by shovel. We used to pull up the batons, not crawl underneath.

[@musicwelikemang]

Give the young lad a mask mate.

[@pan2aja]

No respirator needed ?

[@jennydaneeli6037]

The best ever slow release fertiliser.

[@timbrown7368]

Legend

[@anthony9thompson]

I wonder how a giant vacuum truck would go

[@petrkovarik8067]

one thing is missing, should have wear a mask!

[@micpotato8158]

Would be wearing a dust mask or a bandana over my mouth for sure

[@mattsmith2051]

How to I get hold of Robyn?

[@andrewsteele7663]

Bloody awesome, he needs an OAM, Cheers

[@brunomckay1875]

You could put a four inch nail in and grow a crowbar. Classic gold.

[@velotill]

a lot of pulverized dung to inhale : /

[@GoatZilla]

Lost me at snakes mate

[@humanitynow1565]

I'm feeling sad because of this child

[@mnj640]

He's not being forced to do it

[@janettesessarago4690]

🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻

[@katwhy]

Give that young boy a mask.

[@suchevski]

Oh here come the health & safety police.

[@michaelfoort2592]

Please mask up

[@isnoo1]

MASKS please young man - PLEASE. Love your work ethic though

[@user-dx2hx7ng6y]

No mask? So brave

[@alarmingtwitch7822]

Everybody talking about not using a mask must have missed the boy resting his face on his shit covered knee in the picture

[@johnevans6474]

Not a face mask in sight………..

[@gordonmackinnon8838]
