WHOLLY CRAP!!! WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO WITH ALL THIS POO!!!!
What happens here
With the large manure pile successfully divided into two smaller, aerated rows, the farmer confirms that the day's goal has been met. He reiterates that this method will significantly speed up the composting process compared to a single, tall pile. He mentions that the piles will be turned several times throughout the year and monitored with a long composting thermometer to ensure temperatures reach around 180 degrees Fahrenheit, which kills weed seeds and grass seeds. He contrasts this large-scale composting with smaller, worm-based composting, noting that the high heat and nitrogen content of the large piles prevent worms from surviving.
Goal: The farmer concludes the composting task, highlighting how splitting the pile into rows will speed up decomposition and discusses methods for monitoring the composting process.
