And another permaculture enthusiast! Welcome!!

With so many birds do you have an equally large array of vegetable crops? How do you manage chicken manure for compost?

I built a twin digester system for coop refuse and garden waste. We also have a pair of piles in the same area. Here's a pic of the digesters just after being built a free years ago.

Clever design, and two is a good idea. Our property came with a large black composter bin, but a bear knocked it over and that was that. So I do an open air compost, but it's my first year composting. I'm kind of winging it as I go.

Wifey does the composting and has actually changed the soil type in her main garden over a few years according to the annual soil analysis. Chicken manure really heats up a compost pile.
