A Big compost pile.

If for example you were cleaning out a horse barn, cow barn or chicken barn you could pile all the manure, old hay and straw using a skid loader. Make it a nice long row of compost about 4 to 6 feet high and 4 to 6 feet wide and as long as you want. Come back to the pile every 2 or 3 weeks and flip it with the skid loader to let more air into it. You will have nice compost in no time. If you want to have good compost you will need to push all your manure into a liquid pit. Then you will need to pump the liquid manure into a separator, which will make the manure have a moisture of 40-60%. This is then to be piled up in a stock pile until hauled to a field to be piled into windrows. You will pile it as high as your windrow turner is. Your then to check the temperature of the manure, when it reaches 145-165 Degrees you need to turn the pile with a windrow turner. Add water as needed to keep the compost between 40 and 60%. After a period of 90 days it should be ready. You will now take all the compost in the wind row and pile it in a stock pile, let it sit for 30 days to cure. After this 30 days it then can be marketed after you get the soil samples from it.
