Compost bin is a great idea. I'm sure you know but don't forget to add your left over fish carcasses. Fish is great for the soil.

For sure......I actually just bury them directly in the garden. Jen said no meat in the compost I guess.
Congratulations on 35k even though it should be much more. You both are educators, funny, loving and care about your videos that I love. love to both.❤

Good job on the compost area. You can also put wood ash on the compost pile. Or direct on plant beds at time of flowering. (Fruit, veg or decorative flowers).
Before it turns cold y’all might want to get some horse or cow manure and till it into your garden beds so it can fertilize the soil for next spring.
WOOT WOOT....congrats on 35000

Love the water catchment area and the compost bin, i e recently installed 4 water tuts s we hadn’t had rain for ages and we had a hosepipe ban in Sussex, Uk, so installed the water butts from when we do get rain, we now have had lots of rain and the hosepipe ban had been lifted, I made a compost area from 3 pallets, it works well for me in an area were the sun doesn’t get it very much in my garden, I will be harvesting a few blueberries soon nearly ready but will have to wait next year for my lech tree to produce. Have a lovely week xxx

Very Nice Julia.....glad the Rain is cooperating now. long spurts without rain can be a bugger
New useful project builds. Fun to watch the progress. Thumbs up Jay and Jen!
It’s getting better and better and I like this natural wood siding.
Sawdust leaves and those ashes from the fire, or your wood stove is good for the compost too.

Good project,

Great idea the compost may help the water from freezing, it does get hot , great plan
Man oh man, you guys are getting a lot of work done this Summer .. what a team ... "maybe" considering getting a small chipper ... why? There is many things the clippings can be used for .. from compost to using some to make wood stove fire starter ... pads with glue and epoxies etc. lots. ... you could use it as bios mass to spread on the ground in the woods.. helping the little soil critters ... the mill sure is keen.
Can wait to the next one.❤️❤️🐾🐾🐾
Another great video, always look forward to your newest one,,my favorite KZreadrs ..WOOT!
Pretty nice...good location😊
Jay , those big heavy logs are going to get you sooner or later. Hate to hear you pop a hernia. Would a “come along” rigged up on the other side of the mill work ? Take care you all. 👍👍😊

While I am impressed with you using your brains as well as your back strength, I can tell you from experience, you need to do more, or you will pay a serious price one day, maybe soon, maybe later. You need to build a 6' wheeled dolly with a manual winch on it to raise the logs on one or both ends then roll them to where you want to load or use them. I have seen them used in small logging operation years ago, but don't know how to describe them, the log is slung under the device, simple yet so useful.

Silly thing is I have a Tractor for skidding logs....but I was only grabbing that one Log, LOL.....so I figured I could get it easy....was too big for what I did. I should get one of those devices you are talking about too....I can't think of the name either, LOL
