My First Attempt at the 18 Day Compost

Posted by Jon jon@barefootegardener.com over 1 year ago

This is a short time lapse video of my first attempt at the 18 Day compost.

This is the first step in my first major project. My brother has recently built a house and is starting to work on the garden, I have taken on the vege patch and food forest. First things first, start building some top soil / compost to use on the vege gardens. to get things going I decided to try the 18 day recipe, this is a time lapse video of the process.

All the materials were sourced for free, I found a sheep farmer that wanted to get rid of some old hay bails and sheep manure from his shearing shed, I also pick up some excess House manure from a local horse stable.

Here's the link to the 18 Day compost recipe if anyone wants it:
