    Great changes. Mine are black plastic. Not nearly as good looking.

    Hot composting with chicken bedding and garden waste

    Not scary, it's scientific!! I remember batch 1 got pretty stinky when it was super hot. Maybe batch 2 moving at a little slower pace is better for the noses...

    Hot composting with chicken bedding and garden waste

    I sincerely hope not, especially since most guys don't seem to be all that shy about finding a tree, or shrub, or... Gotta go eat some yogurt now, lol :D

    Hot composting with chicken bedding and garden waste

    My husband would be thrilled if I gave him free reign to pee into the composters, of course they are right next to the road, so it might not be appreciated by the neighbors...

    Hot composting with chicken bedding and garden waste

    I'm not a real chatty person, but do follow along. I was thinking about this thread when I was working on my own compost pile today :D I still need more green, even the pile that's made the most progress still looked like aged sawdust. I COULD pull a million weeds and add them, but will most...

    Hot composting with chicken bedding and garden waste

    Took your advice and added Epsom salts. Also have a bucket of weeds started brewing, I hid it behind the composter so DH doesn't think I've gone completely off the deep end. I figure I'm doing pretty well having two tubs on the counter labeled 'chickens' and 'compost'.

    Hot composting with chicken bedding and garden waste

    I should give that a try. I have a double compost tumbler, I've been letting one side sit and I can see progress, especially in this heat, but it's still slow due to the wood shavings (silly me, I thought the chicken poo would counteract that). My tomatoes are pathetic. But, in my defense, I...

    I've heard of compost tea, but not familiar with weed manure tea?

    Hot composting with chicken bedding and garden waste

    I do add coffee grounds, small amts daily, but haven't done a Starbucks pickup in a while. I feel guilty picking up the grounds without making a purchase (I know it's silly). About the run, I have a 20 x 8 foot run, which we have to walk through to open the coop door. I thought I'd dig a...

    Hot composting with chicken bedding and garden waste

    I'm following closely :D. Actually, I am interested, working on my piles too. At my previous house, I had too much 'green' from lawn clippings. Here I am fighting the wood shavings. We now use a riding lawn mower without a bagger, so I don't have as much green as I used to. Wood shavings also...
