WHOLLY CRAP!!! WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO WITH ALL THIS POO!!!!
What happens here
The farmer returns to the large manure pile, explaining that he initially piled it too high (about 7.5 feet), which prevented sufficient moisture and oxygen from penetrating the center, thus slowing down the composting process. His plan is to transform this single large pile into two smaller rows, each approximately 6-7 feet wide and 4-5 feet tall. This reshaping will allow for better aeration and moisture distribution, accelerating the breakdown of the organic material. He mentions these rows will be flipped multiple times throughout the year.
Goal: The farmer explains that his original manure pile was too large, hindering proper moisture and aeration for effective composting. He outlines the strategy of breaking it down into smaller, longer rows to facilitate faster decomposition.
