For more great Instant Pot recipes, please visit InstantPotEasy.com
Many compost tutorials will tell you not to add meat, blood, and other animal parts to your compost pile for fear of attracting wildlife or unwanted pests. However …
My states major composter do it….just ummm don't feed fresh full animals to the massive shredder lol.. especially if it's been sitting there for 7 days of 35+ celcius days
You could speed up that process, if you topped that pile with a piece of rubber to trap the heat, especially once it gets cold out.
When chipmunk die in the woods, nature takes care of it.
Great educational video. Thank you for sharing this information!
1) What wood are your shavings? 2) How do you compost human waste? 3) What food items do you feed the chickens instead of putting them in the compost pile?
Thank you in advance for answering!
Question please. I just got 9 cubic yds of mushroom compost. I covered it with a tarp. We get a lot of rain here in Ontario in October then, in November extreme cold and snow. Is it alright to cover it ?
We compost pretty much everything. We always tell everyone to quit overthinking it and just do it!
This really was a great educational video for me to watch. I love seeing your passion for homesteading and btw, all those tall trees in the far background look wonderful!
Love this! Great info for anyone! Our pigs get the offal, minus the feathers, we boil it all together at the end, ice it and serve. Its their favorite day of the year!
Thanks for the good info. I love those new feed troughs !!
Really great video Josh. Perfect example of composting, thank you for taking the time to show people before and result of one year later. Hope you're all having a beautiful fall and good luck on your hunting season to add to the pile! 🍁🍂🐔
The reason you should never put meat, it is because of the bacteria, and diseases that can potentially affect your life. exemple: mad cow disease, bird flu H1N1, coronavirus of all kinds, that stay behind and thrives and stay alive in a perfect environment. It will contaminate your garden and when you ingest it you become a host and the life cycle is now inside of you. The fly larvae that eat the flesh of the meat spread all kind of disease 🦠, you can add eggs shell but not the inside. Anyways not my garden good luck.
I'm SO sorry to ask this question on this video but I can't find a video or answer anywhere so if anyone could answer, it would be greatly appreciated. I have 5 gallon food safety buckets with gamma lids and oxygen absorbers and was wondering if bags of rice and boxes of pasta can be stored together and in their original containers. Yes, I'm very green and new to this. 😳😉 I would like to do this without mylar bags. Thanks so much! And BTW… love the Homesteading Family and videos! 💗💗
Your finished pile of compost looks so rich, your garden beds are going to love it. I've buried whole carcasses of dead animals like chickens or rabbits in the middle of the pile. All we find after several months are the bones.
Great video!
Idk why you threw away the gizzards. That is such a waste.
You could keep any of the organs or gizzards that you don't use for yourself, you could keep for your dogs and cats. I keep these things for my dogs and they LOVE them.
Great video! Josh, it made me a little sad to see all those lovely gizzards. They aren’t hard to process and make the best winter soups with celery, onion and spices. Cook(after cleaning) in pressure cooker with broth. Add in rice and some greens. Yum. Just a thought.
Awesome job! Thanks!
I always love your videos. Thank you ❤️
I don’t know about the majority of opinions but I would prefer not to have the music in between your speaking since I have to mess with the volume every time. I prefer the natural sounds of the farmyard 🙂
In any case. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience 👏
Is there anyway you can do a video on how to process a pig
Where did you buy the themometer
Don't mind. It's guts! My name is guts.Okay.
What is Opal?
Question regarding sawdust/ wood shavings: is there a preferred wood? Hardwood, softwood, etc? Would pine set the alkalinity or acidity off to far one direction or the other?
This is great.I LOVE composting and the neighbors are going to start a regular butchering time with birds next year. Great info to stock away in my mind 🙂
I enjoyed your video. I liked the way you showed the progress on the compost pile. Thanks for sharing
Question: Can this be done on a smaller scale in a bucket?
I wish all men were more like you and all women were more like your wife. I'm not praising you per se, but the God of creation that I see working through you. May the love of Jesus abide in you.
I put meat in my compost, I get mice.
We pressure cook chicken carcasses with a bunch of veggies for stock. Are those leftovers good for compost? I always thought it already spent all its nutrients.
Great video! Love seeing yalls place and the animals!!!
I love that y'all show composting with animal remains. It is such a taboo subject, but the earth needs all of it's nutrients replaced. Animal remains are a great source of nutrients!
Thanks for sharing.
I hope you take us along for the whole ride!!!! I am learning so much from watching you. I need visuals!!! 😂 Thank you so much for your time and knowledge.
Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge about composting! I feel like Between my chickens, kitchen scraps and a pitchfork, I can go forth and create great compost for my garden! God bless!
Awesome video
I always heard don't put animal products into the compost, but then I started researching additives for soil and one was bone meal. My question from then on was why can't I throw my old bones into my compost and avoid having to buy ANOTHER thing.
I started doing it ANYWAYS. Now I know I'm not wrong.
Love the video, thank you very well put, I will use this video to do my own composting soon!
well, i sure liked the way you did the compost pile with the sawdust/wood shaving and using the tractor to mix it. what broke my heart was to see 25lbs or more of gizzards in the scrap bucket. i see this a lot with off grid farmer and can't figure out why. i guess each to his own. by the way gizzards are very delicious/nutritious and easy to fix.
I love this! I was wondering does this pile see you through the year or do you also need to invest in outside compost too?
all those beautiful gizzards…(that's the only innards I will eat). I should come next chicken killing and help take those off your hands.
You threw the chicken gizzards in the compost!?! Not at my house, they are delicious!
Question: How does the day to day collection of green material work in the house? Do you have a five gallon bucket or something that everybody knows to throw scraps in? Do you save the bones from meals and bone broth to add on the compost pile?
This is awesome! Do you guys have turkeys roaming around and scratching through your compost? They seem to poke their nose in everything😝
Good video! BTW
Be careful about who is advertising on your channel! I’m pissed! They promised kitchen aid products and used bait and switch! I have started unfollowing channels that are allowing this to happen!
