Hello folks. I've been working on our compost pile for a few years now. I use the hay to absorb the urine. Also add in chopped dry leaves n such. I keep the pile covered. I lifted a covered part last fall, mushrooms so I'm assuming a good microorganism growth. Dark colored compost.
I have a grinder mulcher beast. Old school mulcher with a 8" wide arbor holding 3 cutter heads. 8 teeth per head. I will bring them to a sharpening pro for a tune up. It has a 10 hp. Briggs engine. I may put a larger engine on it. Or belt it up to my 41 Farmall H. I'll have power.
Goal is to make a ground compost. What I've been making looks similar to a fine peat topsoi
perfect for potting. Dressing
I'm thinking that I will blend up the 3 years worth to get a mix. With the thought that it might be a more timed out plant food. If that makes sense. I also have a few ground leaf piles to add in.
My goal again. It's easy to just put the pieces together per say. Pile it all up n grind it. But I'm trying to achieve the best I can. I'm doing it anyhows so it's how I swing.
Any suggestions or comments ? How How do you all do yours?
