How to Make a Chicken Composting System [FULL VIDEO]

To learn more about chicken tractors and the permaculture design system, watch Geoff’s free Masterclass at Kitchen gardens, from small to commercial scale, can be fertilized through chicken composting. This simple design builds fertility continuously by sourcing chickens to do the work they enjoy and do best: scratching, eating insects, and eating weed seeds. From this, we get eggs, meat, and fertility, and the plants grown using this method will produce at a high rate and provide nutrient dense fruits and vegetables. Anyone can follow this system. Small urban versions on just 16 square meters can supply an average of one cubic meter a month, enough to fertilize 1000 square meters of garden. Larger systems, using 30 chickens, can produce a cubic meter of compost a every week, enough to keep ½ an acre rich and fertile. And, commercial systems, with 50 chickens, can account for two cubic meters of compost a week, sufficient for fertilizing a full acre
