John M. was paying to haul off manure from 5 horses while also paying for commercial organic compost for the garden. "A closed loop compost system using our own manure just made sense." To accelerate the process, John adds worms and vegetable matter from household waste. The finished compost is used on edible and ornamental gardens as well as on pasture grass on his and his close neighbors' properties. His system features three aerated bins that are accessible by a compact tractor and constructed in a style that matches the stalls and other out-buildings. The lids were built like a roof and are very heavy. They are each opened and closed by a pair of linear actuators. "Peter has been a tremendous partner and inspiration."
