I would love to see your compost run set up and the mixer. Any chance you have videos?

:th:lau

Now, back to composting...:oops:

Between @RUNuts and @aart i got a pretty good picture. Good analogies and explanations you two. Thanks.

Thanks again. You've been very helpful. :)

ROTFLOL for real! :lau Hmmm. I don't understand physics so I'm confused. (No surprise there.) So if it was difficult to bend does that mean it is stronger when flatter? Or is a tall bend stronger? :barnie:he:idunno

I admit I hadn't thought about running the ends of the CP down along the fence wall for several squares. I probably would have gone for 1 square down. I see yours are 4 squares down. I am understanding that you think you need to raise it to less squares to make it more bowed, therefore stronger...

Yes, but the trick is to not let it be the slimy or stinky type. You don't need to measure compost ingredients but you do need to make sure you remember to add BOTH brown and green.

I was kinda hoping to use the spare piece of cattle panel I have on hand. Hmmm.....I guess I'll look into hog panels. :idunno

Wow, thanks for all the info! I've sern @aart 's set but can't remember the details of the top. Gotta go check it out.:thumbsup

Aha! That clears it up!

so you clean your run floor of kitchen scraps at night? Don't they become compost in the run? I guess I'm getting confused, the title is about composting in the run. Is that only for chicken poo?

Yup. I have my list of things one shouldn't feed chickens on the fridge so family members remember too. I did mention vegetables, grass, weeds. I don't include meats except an occasional bowl with some bits of leftover cooked meat for a protein boost. They get cooked eggs on occasion and they...

But isn't this part of composting for fertilizer? Small heads of cabbage hung for fun. Vegetable peels. That sort?

Does anyone clean the poop boards into a bucket and then toss the bucket contents into the run? Also Do you throw kitchen scraps in the run? I worry my girls will eat too much vegetation and not enough flock raiser crumbles if I have a lot of vegetables and grass and leaves and weeds for composting.
