This pile of compost was twice as tall a week ago, before the chickens found it. We moved the chicken tractor and the hens have gone to work. How did the girls know that tossing of this pile was necessary? Were they on the internet researching? No they were finding yummy insect larve and bugs.
This is from Composting Cow Manure:
"An important consideration when composting cow manure is the size of your bin or pile. If it’s too small, it won’t provide enough heat, which is essential for the composting process. Too big, however, and the pile may not get enough air. Therefore, frequently tossing the pile is necessary."
