[QUOTE="james7230, post: 1615290, member: 20708"] I’ve been looking at this for a while. I would be composting pig manure and adding extra straw to dry it out and increase the carbon. A conversation I had today with someone who has lots of experience with composting suggested that turning once a week (as seems to be suggested in some literature) is not as necessary as first thought, if you have a well structured pile. What concerns me is the amount of work required turning it, and as [USER=801]@martian[/USER] said second hand compost turners are very rare. I have been looking at an Aerated Static Pile system where you blow air down a pipe in the bottom of the windrow. I’m also concerned about the smell produced, [USER=319]@Simon C[/USER] does yours produce much odour/ obviously pig muck would be worse than cattle or horse, and how often do your turn yours?
