/ @therealmrdigg
Check out this mulching and concrete crushing operation!

[@craigwavra3495]

Pretty cool operation he has there!! This should take care of the mulcher comments!! Who doesn’t have $1.4 M sitting around!!

[@honthirty_]

Euro snowflakes just whine. Their govt takes care of them & they have no idea what it costs.

[@daneclark3161]

There will be five new, very wise viewers on Monday.

[@RumMonkeyable]

An amazing operation! Ryan knows his "business".....from start to finish! Makes one feel good to know that there is a recycling business taking things to the MAX!!!!!!! Thanks, Chris, for the info video! 👍👏😍

[@ryanhoward1013]

His name is Ryan, not Brian. I pick right up on that because my name is Ryan lol

[@RumMonkeyable]

@@ryanhoward1013 Thank you. Correction made! 👏😍👍

[@TheRealMrDigg]

@@ryanhoward1013thanks Brian! 😂

[@TheRealMrDigg]

Thanks for watching!

[@danielr1615]

Ryan, Chris, and Charlie from “Copperheadmarine channel” all came out of the same mold. These hard working smart guys are what builds this country. Very impressive!

[@TheRealMrDigg]

Thanks buddy!

[@Bearsgypsy1]

☘️🇮🇪🇺🇸 very kewl armchair warriors always know best Chris … been several minutes since I was privileged to walk through a beautiful place like that . A perfect symphony of machine-man- material in perfect cycle. A world so very few know. Its sights, sounds, smells- the vibrations of the big machines you can feel in your chest … blessings 🌹🙏🏼

[@pennyneal2456]

Who knew how complicated making coloured mulch can be? Thoroughly enjoyed listening to the explanation. Thank you.

[@KB-gs8zi]

Hey Chris !!! Thank you for videoing this action at Ryan's !!! Saw Mike in there ,but NO Comment from him as saw his video too !! Onto Atlanta & the Hyundai Play yard with the big toys !!HAHA 👍👍👍👍👍

[@bailey2046]

I didn't even know places like this existed. I'm surprised how interesting it is. Thanks for bringing us along.

[@young11984]

We have a yard for wood waste around here but its nowhere near as nice as that, the same comment Chris made about the crappy blocks that are sold… same applies to the folks that sell mulch out of the yard here, doesnt even begin to compare to Ryans

[@KarmaShaw-dc1hd]

Few acres for that operation

[@TheRealMrDigg]

Thanks for watching!

[@steveadams7995]

I'm near Winston Salem & a friend I went to high school with has been doing this for about 25 yrs his goal is to bury nothing

[@eggsaladsandwhiches]

Really enjoying you talking about the logistics and decision making on job sites.

[@user-ln4iv4dz5j]

Very cool operation. I've bought hundreds of bags of mulch over the last 40 years with no idea how it's prepared and sold. Tell Ryan, thanks for providing us something that brings us much happiness as we love our gardens and lawns and other landscaping during the summer.

[@TheRealMrDigg]

Youre welcome, and thanks so much for watching & commenting!!

[@annafraley5388]

A Top-Notch company there, for sure…!! ✅

[@TheRealMrDigg]

Thanks!

[@williamhenderson9535]

Thanks Chris. I've learned a lot from the previous one and this one. What an operation this guys has! Learned something new! Love it!

[@Goman1244]

These last couple of videos on recycling what would just be waste material shows how to really put it to good use. I have really enjoyed watching this mammoth operation.

[@TheRealMrDigg]

Thanks for watching & taking the time to comment!

[@user-rt8ik1ow4i]

I can't wait to see if he does asphalt recycling. I really like using it in driveways

[@TheRealMrDigg]

Haven’t tried Any asphalt…..yet

[@joeBeranek-lh8qz]

They need this in Arizona . Thanks for posting. Love all your videos. Take care and be safe.

[@WatcherNine]

I could watch that concrete crusher all day. SO cool!

[@TheRealMrDigg]

Me too!

[@bobferranti5222]

Chris, I live near a mulch facility but have never discovered how the process worked until now, thanks so much for showing this! The concrete process was also very interesting!

[@richarddelotto2375]

Totally impressive-- Thanks to all!

[@donburg5125]

Awesome operation young man has going on with his business aspect. Keep these videos coming cuz they are very interesting to watch.

[@TheRealMrDigg]

Thanks Bud!

[@Jammer.1]

With him making the design on the block that was smart on his business & well worth the extra money & the inner-locking system it's much better then just the V groove !

[@TheRealMrDigg]

Love making the blocks!

[@maryloudamarino4079]

This was really cool to watch. Never knew how those processes worked. Chris is always bringing us something interesting when he goes on vacation.

[@ipaddlemyowncanoe.7441]

That's why I like your videos. You cover a lot of things and you run your video. It's you. You have a guest there. You're talking to him your interviewing them. You're controlling at all. You have some other people there but they're not getting into it. It's your video and that's the way it should be. I really enjoy it. That's definitely something different. I never knew how they made those big blocks. Nice 👍👍🙂🇨🇦

[@mickbaker2483]

If Mike from dirt perfect had something to say you can bet your bottom dollar he would ask it Chris is video or not I'm sure.

[@TheRealMrDigg]

He does a great job telling the story!

[@Vickie-Bligh]

This was interesting. Mike was very eloquent in his video regarding the blocks, about how much he preferred Ryan's product. After watching you use crushed concrete on roads & driveways, it was neat seeing the full circle. Mr. Digg, you do good work, sir. Thanks for sharing this, Chris.

[@TheRealMrDigg]

Appreciate this! Thanks

[@JadedLady]

Those Horse blocks are cool

[@timmyfrierson2684]

Chris, I have to say that guy has got a hell of a operation. He don’t waste nothing which I have a grandson that works in a landfill in North Augusta South Carolina and he runs the grinder which was the first one that y’all looked at he’s in control of separating everything and running it through the grinder, but anyway man appreciate you putting that video out. I really enjoyed it.

[@TheRealMrDigg]

Wonder which landfill?

[@cathiwim]

@13:35- now THATS a loader!!we have a company in East TN called Blalock, and they are famous for their blocks. Most highway abutments and sheer walls beside thehighways here are done like the stone version of Blalock blocks. Thanks for the tour!

[@Suzuki1776]

It really shows this guy is passionate about his work! It's nice to see honestly. Running a well oiled machine!

[@TheRealMrDigg]

Thanks!!

[@jafo9346]

Thank you LD18 for making us privy to Mr. Digg's operation and it is QUITE an operation! Great to see you and D.P. both on the scene.

[@TheRealMrDigg]

Thanks for watching!! 👍

[@bobgrier3103]

Man, what a difference between what environmental warriors think can or should happen and the reality if what it takes to produce something as seemingly simple as clean mulch. What an operation Ryan has there. Kudos to him and those like him.

[@bfellowsjr]

Definitely a class act operation.

[@janlou14]

Thanks for the tour Chris. What an amazing operation, that is one smart man, making the most of everything.

[@TheRealMrDigg]

Appreciate you watching!

[@seanmulligan4123]

Landfill operators are the best at finding a market for everything! All while charging for product coming in and out of the operation.

[@user-zr2jr6su8h]

That you Mr Ryan for have us..awesome opportunity for us to come see your opperation...Mulch Mulch and big toys to run around on...verry cool...thanks. 💥⭐👍GoTeamLetsDig18 👍⭐💥

[@iancardwell3877]

Chris I have only one word to describe it, WOW

[@SLCFarms]

Ryan’s blocks are superior in comparison to any others. Great operation there for sure.

[@TheRealMrDigg]

Thanks Buddy!!

[@RussCarey]

WAAAAAAY more exciting than knockin trees down, buildin a road then dig a pond over and over and over. Great operation here!

[@Daluke61]

Held my attention, all 31 minutes and 50 seconds... Really cool!

[@keithdunlap2701]

Wow !! He has one Hell of an operation going on there !! A Giant Business !! lololol... Well, that was a pretty awesome tour there Chris, thanks for taking your time and sharing that Man !! Great as always Have a Great Evening, And, On too the next !!

[@pauldillinger2286]

He has one of the best operations ive seen in a long time. Thank you for sharing that with us. I started watching his channel after you and dirt perfect showed these videos and its so awesome.

[@TheRealMrDigg]

Appreciate it!

[@michaelmullins1290]

That's a guy that's into alot of things at once. Gotta have alot of excellent people on his team. Amazing what hes doing.

[@beckyumphrey2626]

He.has.a.huge sand.mine.also.

[@TheRealMrDigg]

Couldn’t do it without our awesome team!

[@mfelton7041]

I have really enjoyed this tour of the recycling yard. It's great to see something like this and informative. Don't get me wrong, I love the diggers, but this was really interesting. Thank you

[@ianmckay1780]

I love this video, just listen to Chris, he obviously knows his stuff. That is one major reason to watch him. He informs and entertains all at once. Damn clever guy!!!

[@richwielechowski5191]

Chris, thanks for the great tour. Missed the part of recycling pallets.

[@TheRealMrDigg]

We kinda forgot to go over there…..whoops! But, they follow pretty much the same procedure. We mainly use pallets to produce the red mulch because it gives a more vibrant final product. Thanks for watching!

[@user-vn6hi2bi3g]

More tours like this! Ray

[@silverlicious2086]

He's a smooth operator. It's a beautiful day to mulch and pour, then rinse and repeat. Cool video.

[@TheRealMrDigg]

Hahaha Thanks!

[@heatherlane9270]

What a fantastic operation Mr Digg has - pretty cool all round. Quite obvious he has thought through the process of recycling whilst making a living for himself and creating employment for others. Learn so much from people such as he. As we say in Aus - no slouch there for sure.

[@TheRealMrDigg]

Thanks over there in Australia!

[@vicentesanchez5141]

That man must be proud of his operation. I Wish him the Best of luck and greetings from Puerto Rico.

[@davidhibbs5114]

Very interesting video. Thank you for sharing!!! I had no idea there was so much to it. Nothing but respect to all of our farmers.

[@charlesmiller7861]

Must have one heck of a maintenance dept, very cool video

[@raymondgochenour8725]

Props to you, Chris, for doing the video and props to Mr. Diggs for heaven, such a cool operation

[@TheRealMrDigg]

Thanks Buddy!

[@hi-techredneck7069]

Great Info and content! Alot of mulch! ❤

[@davidperry970]

One hell of an operation there. Thanks for sharing Chris, I'll be watching more of Mr. Digg's channel.

[@ryanhoward1013]

I have already subscribed to Ryan's channel, and it is very interesting. Thanks, Ryan, for sharing and caring. 😅

[@TheRealMrDigg]

Thanks Bud!

[@TheRealMrDigg]

@@ryanhoward1013sure appreciate ya!

[@ryanhoward1013]

@TheRealMrDigg I really appreciate what you do. That is one awesome place you have there. And you do an awesome job running and working hard every day it amazing. Thank you, Ryan

[@jimbrewer2893]

Quite the operation. I like that he recycles everything possible.

[@christopherraybone7602]

Great insight into all the different operations 👌

[@donnal.oglesby4806]

On all this wood and trees, awesome operation and you can make money by the pound, for this for landscaping and so on. There is a place not too far form here, where I can get gardeing dirt and mulch that they will sell you by the yard. Also great that his cousin has a saw mill, to mill all the better logs, and can then sell them as well. Love the concete area as well, cause all of that can be used or resued in the construction trade, for driveways and such. Chris and Mike would know that well.. Now Andrew Camarata has a rock crusher at one of his properties that he blew up a part of his one mountain so he could crush the rock and build the LONG LONG driveway and road on... Also blew up another part of his mountain by his Castle property. Great videos! Like the blocks as well, Love the ones with the horses, but you have to have those certain people that like that.

[@sylviaprudhomme5417]

He really did a great job of explaining what his company does. Very impressed and loved that big equipment❤❤❤❤❤

[@TheRealMrDigg]

Thanks for watching!

[@benjaminbumby1700]

That's some fascinating stuff Chris. Please tell your friend thanks from all of us out here for the tour and his time!

[@TheRealMrDigg]

Thanks for watching!!!

[@MoMonde]

I don’t envy the expense required to keep all those grinders and crushers up to standard. Thanks for this operation!

[@johnhamilton9229]

That was a fantastic tour. Thank you.

[@js_tripledub9557]

Drink every time Chris says prime example 🤣🤣 love your videos

[@kevindunleavy2130]

Very very cool vid. An awesome look on the overseen aspects of construction and landscaping.

[@LouJustlou]

I really enjoyed seeing this. Especially the education around the economics of recycling. Too easy to over simplify and forget about the costs.

[@charleswelch249]

They should do more of this recycling everywhere. That man is using everything to it's potential. Crushed concrete is good adgrigate and road base as you know Chris. Hope you have been enjoying your time off work.

[@TheRealMrDigg]

We’re trying. Thanks for watching!!

[@hydraulic-hum]

wonderful video Chris.. the drone shows how big this operation is, fantastic to see what happens to all the tree debris that gets dropped here.. one of my favourites!

[@thomastaylor298]

Very interesting nice way to spend your vacation. Thanks for sharing.

[@danny88dh]

That red grinder is a hell of a machine quite a price tag to😮 8:23

[@HolgerLovesMusic]

1.4 Million Dollars. Quiete a price tag, indeed.

[@TheRealMrDigg]

Thank goodness for Wells Fargo! 😂

[@harrykeel8557]

That fella has got it going on! Not only does he run a landfill, he also runs a mulch making business and makes concrete blocks.

[@beckyumphrey2626]

He also owns a huge sand mjne.called Atomic Sand and a very big Garden Center.

[@TheRealMrDigg]

Thanks Bud!

[@GARDENER42]

Another great insight into Ryan's amazing business. Thanks for making this video Chris.

[@TheRealMrDigg]

Thanks for watching Buddy!

[@dalecflowers]

Looks like a class operation. Great video.

[@wileycoyotesr8623]

I was seriously impressed with this video for all reasons mentioned below. Ditto to them. Did I miss the acreage size of the operation? How many people are employed? Is maintenance performed on swing or graveyard shifts? How many mechanics are employed? How much fuel do they burn a year? Thanks for bringing this operation to us, Chris. You created a documentary. 👍👍👍

[@beckyumphrey2626]

This does not include his sand mine that is.several hundred acres.

[@TheRealMrDigg]

85 acres under this particular operation, 70 people all total, maintenance during regular hours, 3 mechanics, LOT of diesel ( im really not sure but its a lot). Thanks for watching!

[@coltongarber8087]

Those Horse blocks are amazing 😍

[@donmiller8186]

Chris, big thanks for sharing this, very interesting multifaceted operation.

[@henrystevens9893]

Absolutely fascinating! Thanks a million for showing us the process.

[@TheRealMrDigg]

Thanks for taking the time to watch & comment!

[@BuckMasterNorm]

Thanks that was very interesting. That is quite a process

[@user-zr1ij2tm6u]

Great video showing mulching operation....Also the comcrete getting crushed....very interesting video...Stay safe and see you on next one

[@debcamp2359]

You always make great content. This operation is awesome.

[@randycharest4507]

ENJOYED WATCHING THE VIDEO CHRIS 😊

[@carlosrequena1690]

This is awesome, Chris. I would have never known these things if it wasn't for you. Thank you, I enjoyed this very much and learned a lot, too. Your friend has a great operation going there.

[@markparker2873]

Great video, thank you so much for sharing Chris well done! Mark from Horsham, Victoria, Australia!

[@johnblake2255]

Nice aerial view of the concrete crushers as there are two of them at a demolition site in my area. Gives me an idea of what is going on inside the fenced-in area. I have always enjoyed the sound tracks also . Thanx for the time and effort. JB

[@Westvets]

Its cool seeing all this in action. Rottochoppers are built about 10 miles from where I live, and I have even worked on some parts for them at my job.

[@TheRealMrDigg]

I bet it’s cold up there!! I came 2 februarys ago and went ice fishing nearby

[@Westvets]

@@TheRealMrDiggNice lots of Ice fishing around here. this year has been unusually warm though.

[@davidweeks1997]

Talk about a sandbox! Best EVER!

[@jameskaufmann7424]

Thanks for sharing this with us. Really appreciate the many job,s that make this country great.

[@dylan8285]

Thats a whole lot nicer than the dyed crap in bags at the big box stores. Bagged stuff has huge pieces in it still and I assume its made of wood scrap and pallets

[@jayschafer1760]

The cheap bagged mulch is literally made of chipped pallet scraps. I've found pallet stamps on mulch pieces from bagged mulch from Menards, then researched it and found that they chip their junk pallets in house to make the mulch.

[@harveylong5878]

those blocks were right up DP's alley. the decorative blocks were pretty cool. Ryan has got a pretty complicated setup but maximizing materials. you guys forgot the pallets though. 😆

[@TheRealMrDigg]

Yeah, we kinda forgot to go over there. Same process for them as well. We like the pallets for the red mulch, it makes the color “pop” a bit more. Thanks for watching!

[@fredfriar1420]

Years ago Mead Paper in Chillicothe, Ohio dumped all the tree bark from their debarker into one big pile. Management discovered town's people helping themselves to this compose. They fenced off the pile and started bagging it for sale calling it Pay-grow.

[@joejohnson7097]

Cool operation keeps a lot of stuff out of the land fields. Thanks for the video

[@HammerPowered]

Ya'll were showing the blocks - we call them waste blocks, make them from leftover concrete from the day's casting (I work in precast) and they all have the faux stone face to them. Big hit for some contractors that want something a bit nicer for retaining walls especially, primarily for commercial jobs.

[@tommartin9936]

Awesome Chris!! Cool to see you ask all the right questions and let the owner give the details. Crazy cool operation.

[@TheRealMrDigg]

Chris does a great job & makes it easy!

[@andrewkjera6391]

Thanks for getting us the tour, very informative.

[@maxmacdonald7174]

Chris and his working vacation. We call that work-alcoholic.

[@i8screaminmoose]

Wow, this is really cool. I wanted to see more. I really was curious about the pallet pile!

[@nickjames2370]

Wow, there is some serious money tied up in this operation. Great to visit and film this - answers all those that say mulching is the way forward 😉. It is if you have $5 to 10M and a few acres to spare.

[@wendymorrison5803]

In my area dyed mulch is often made of recycled milled wood. Eg pallets. Fresh timber is different. Sawmill grade logs go to processing and the balance to composting.

[@axcs0119]

And he says he is doing all this on 85 acres, amazing

[@TheRealMrDigg]

It’s a busy little place!

[@truckertom3323]

Very good informative content Chris, this is a good outfit he has going on there, good stuff.

[@ranger2316]

Cool video! What an operation. I"m glad I saw this. Thanks.

[@Skorpychan]

I always figured that unused concrete just went straight back into the mixing plant. I had no idea they made blocks out of the spare stuff! Economies of scale in action, right there.

[@jetegtmeier71]

thanks for something out of the ordinary, always like learning something new :)

[@rickbell3402]

Great to see this recycling happening!

[@derrickpettit86]

Man they really are utilizing everything that has potential to bring profit in, freaking awesome, thanks for sharing the awesome video Chris, those concrete blocks never look like that, I don't know anyone else that vibrates those forms an uses stamps in them to make them look that good, that's called taking pride in your work, quality not quantity, ok Chris time for another resource for income lol, thanks for sharing again 🇺🇲💪🤙👍👌✊ Hope there's a video on that huge pile of skids
