We have Chickens, Turkeys, Goats, Pigs and a couple cows. I put all the dirty bedding and manure in piles in our garden. We have a neighbor that lives about 200 yards from us. We are all on 8 acre lots, but we are on top of a hill and naturally everyone builds as high up the hill as they can. So even though we aren't close enough to be annoyed by loud stereos or people arguing at each other, I guess we are close enough for smells to drift.
Yesterday one of our neighbors who has no livestock comes over and starts complaining about the pigs. I have a very sensitive nose and I don't have an issue within 20 feet or so. We only have 3 pigs and we clean up all the poop every weekend. I think he might be smelling the piles of hay and shavings that have poop mixed in from all the animals.
Any ideas on controlling possible smells coming out of those piles? We never get any smells in the house and the windows are always open. Well except for me of course.
