Compost Advice

I have this in a wheel barrow all year and wondering how to get it to compost. It has grass, bush and apples. I don’t want to have to buy something to put it in.

Question regarding starting a small row crop operation.

Took a plunge and bought a tractor (1948 8N) the other day. The deal was great. No implements yet other than a mower. I’m interested in beginning a row crop operation, intention is organic and I would love to explore no-till options, but kind of floundering with where to start and what equipment I’ll need. Going to be small, maybe a half acre to start. Anybody have any recommendations or advice? I was eyeing a good deal On an old cultivator and seed drill but I don’t want to start tearing up turf until I have a reasonable plan for weed control that doesn’t involve spraying.

First time making biochar!

10 liter bucket filled with about 3,5kg of char, mixed in four or five big handfuls of donkey manure, about the same amount of finished compost, topped off with grey-water …and I peed on it. Twice. Now we let it rest for a while, stir it every few hours and continue to pee on it obviously. Let’s hope our raised garden beds will love some added biochar to hold onto our precious water and feed them all the micronutrients they’ll ever need

struggling with processing

Hey everyone! I have an extra rooster who needs to go, he is starting to destroy my hens. I know I need to learn how to cull birds anyway because I have had a few sick ones that I just ended up paying a ridiculous amount of money to bring to the vet. I figured that it would be best to process him since he also has a wing defect and nobody in my local backyard chicken groups seems to want him. I’m just really struggling with it. I’ve watched all the videos and can get all of the tools. I’m really okay with death or so I thought and considered myself somewhat tough but I really can’t seem to get over this mental block of killing something. Can anyone offer support or tips? I eat meat from the grocery store and am trying very hard to get over my disconnect from where my food comes from and feel like such a hypocrite. No answer or story is too long or weird. Tell me about how you felt before and after. Thanks so much!
