Not sure yet, I haven't thought that far
The heap will not be near a water supply so probably cover it.
We can get water to the heap alright. Thought about laying a few lines of drip tape over it and a battery operated solenoid.
Still think it needs to be covered though as the heap is on a south facing slope and risks drying out too much for the mycelium. I just wanted to avoid messing around with tarps and tyres etc, which I have always found a pain in the a*se.
We can collect plenty of woodshavings and sawdust from the local sawmill. Though i'd like an on farm solution in the future.
Planning on using a couple of buckets of humus from the adjacent woodland for inoculation
We are planning on drastically reducing the housing time for the cows this winter, but it means we will have less manure.
The idea is to try and to try and make up for the difference through a gain in quality over quantity.
