Here is a link to inoculated deep litter. It's distinct from the methods above in that there is no maintenance at all a real set it and forget it litter with, no smell, no manure buildup, it's very dry, has bugs reproducing in it, creates guano like material for your garden if you want to use it...

here is part 2 and 3

I found another site that has a much more detailed recipe for creating the inoculation. https://www.nofamass.org/articles/2014/05/korean-natural-farming-managing-farm-systems-holistically

You all got me thinking about what could be at work in my deep litter and I stumbled on the site below using inoculated deep letter. They have recipes for making the inoculation to start so you don't have to wait months for it to start working on it's own naturally like I did. It uses local...

The Deep Litter in my coop reduces in volume over time so I don't think it is just building up with pulverized poo. The chickens produce so much that it should be doubled in volume in a few months. I think it is composting but very slow. When I use it on my garden it turns to a mud almost like...

My deep litter doesn't act like normal compost. I don't know if the bacteria is the same or not but in the chicken coop the litter is gray and very dry. On my goat side it is brown and moist like normal compost. The chicken coop litter doesn't get warm like normal compost either. The...

Hush Puppy And Chickens by moco27 posted Nov 19, 2017 at 3:59 PMDust is a problem with chickens. I don't know if it is more or less than other litters I tried as the chickens produce dust anyway and I can't remember a difference and don't know how I could quantitate that anyway. They do dust...

I like the video of beekissed litter. I like the way the litter is dry and loose but I don't like the work she has to put in to make it work well. She turns it almost every day or at least every other day. That's more than 200 days a year she is turning that over. That is the part I don't want...

Here is a video of a room in my barn that I used straw as deep litter. It clumped and matted right away. I added more to it like everyone says to do and I wound up with a solid pile of doo doo. It's old and has been composting for more than 2 years. It's still wet and smells of ammonia. The...

I initially did straw in my coop and it acted the same way. I could never turn it. The only option was to add and then haul it out in the end. My goal was less work not more. The sawdust is work one day a year after it gets started. It's still work to get it started but worth it in the end. I do...

This is what the chicken coop litter looks like with just sawdust. https://www.facebook.com/kevin.schaible.7/videos/pcb.1482098388510571/1481285751925168/?type=3&theater This is what the goat side of the barn looks like with sawdust that has had hay added to it...

Sawdust is easy to find. Most places that have it would be so grateful that someone would take it away. The sawmills are plentiful near me and you would be surprised how hidden they are. I googled cabinet makers near me and found 3 within a half hour of my place and I am so rural I can't get...

My sawdust is mostly oak with a little walnut sycamore and very little pine. I think the pine is too acidic.
