What happens here
The collected garden debris is added to a large compost pile. The creator mentions that this compost pile is built from years of gardening, including wood chips, brush, and various yard and garden refuse, along with chicken coop contents. He explains that after adding new material, he will use a tractor or a pitchfork to turn the pile, which helps accelerate decomposition. He also incorporates grass clippings from the past year to add nitrogen, which aids the composting process.
Goal: Process garden and yard waste into nutrient-rich compost
