I use poultry netting(chicken wire on the inside of the outer ring, and on the outer side of the inner ring. This is my first year using this design. I used the original Johnson-Su design, and use about 2 5 gallon buckets of this material to start the reaction. This is a good video. Well explained.

    PVC pipes with small holes drilled in them, lay horizontally on the ground, glue them together with fittings culminating in a air hose fitting outside the pile. Fill with leaves, etc, then once a month. use an air compressor to blast air into the pipes and in turn aerating the pile. That's the Jackson Lu composteractor!

    @@jinde75 I do couple things. 1) I mulch them & pick them up in the bagger & make hills where they can get moldy - in spring we'd spread it in the areas where we didn't have trees. (Lived in Ozark mountains secluded in forest). Ur ground was complete rock, spreading the mulched leaves for 20 yrs we built up soil. - some of the mulched leaves I'd run thru the chipper to break down finer. Those leaves r used on top of my raised garden beds & pots to help hold moisture in & keep roots cool. - after garden season over I'd put heavy layer of leaves on raised beds to help feed the soil & stop corrosion - soil from the pots went back into a compost bin to get nutrients back. The mulched leaves along w other organics r added to the different bins - I also use the fine mulch leaves around the outside of raised beds & pots. This helped keep it cool, stop soil loss & retain moisture. It'll break down lively over the summer & I throw that rich mulch into compost w soil from pots Now I live in the burbs (I miss my forest). I have small property so I'm not using all my fancy tools - I'll go over the leaves w mower several times to get nice & fine. Then I'll put the bag on to collect mulched leaves & use as I started above. In the lower part of my back yard I just throw the talked leaves on the ground down one side. This enables them to mold & it keeps the ground from freezing for my hens. The hens will work the leaves & do real good job mulching than up. I just turn them every now & then If I'm building a new raised bed I throw in pine cones & down down branches. Then I fill w the big mulched moldy leaves until bed approx 60% full. I think put approx 3" layer of my chicken compost. I water that down real well, walk on to get out air pockets. Then I fill approx 4" w my soil compost & top w few inches bagged dirt. I haven't made enough dirt here so I have to suppliment w bag. I hope this helps- pretty long... Remember "Leaves leave on the ground"

    Very clear explanation. Kudos on that! I think you've given one of the best videos out there for this. Two potential issues? Hopefully the method works perfectly, but IF you get bad smells you might consider: 1. You might end up with > 70% water this way. Too high will drown the biology, which was the reason Dr D-J used a wheelbarrow to drain excess water off while filling the bioreactor. 2. The extremely small chips might (or might not) compact down too much. If they do that, the air flow will be cut off and it'll go anaeriobic (smelly and wrong biology).

    I’ve filled a few bioreactors and buckets would be harder. For starters the venting tube(s) have a tendency to move around if heavy stuff is dumped/thrown on them and for another when lifting weight a shovel scoop allows you to lift the weight in smaller increments which is easier to sustain. Depending on the diameter, height, moisture level and whatever the ingredient mix of said bioreactor happens to be it’s easily over a ton. Buckets would still require shoveling the ingredients into the bucket to then be lifted. Also I see the value of using bricks to lift the pallet off of the ground but it raises it higher resulting in having to lift the mix a bit higher. The ideal height of the bioreactor is going to vary depending on how much space you have in your yard. A good way of increasing the fungal amount of the decomposition is tossing a few logs into the bioreactor as filling it and reusing them in future bioreactors. Tree stumps would work.

    at 7:53 I see your collie has run a literal racetrack around the coop out of obsession. We have a GSP that did the same thing in our back yard. Obsessively running the same thing over and over from not being used for the job, at the intensity required, that hundreds of years of breading put into his DNA. We got him on an SSRI med (think Prozac) and he is a TOTALLY different dog. It took some convincing for our vet, as they wanted to keep prescribing sedatives, but after 6 weeks or so for the med to stabilize his obsession he completely stopped running his circuit. He still enjoys the birds, squirrels, and lizards he originally ran that circuit looking for... but he doesn't have to obsessively run the circuit anymore. TOTALLY different, and MUCH happier dog. Just in case it helps!

    I love this video. as someone that grows mushrooms on the inside I was asking some questions about a lot of worries that we have to deal with most of the time. The first is contamination. I was wondering how you protect the system from contamination from outside bacteria which can ruin early the whole colony. But the cover in the size of the substrate kind of solves it. when growing our cultures we need to make sure everything is filtered including the air because a single bacteria can ruin an entire colony because it's much stronger. it takes over quickly. if the mycelium is that large it is going to be very very difficult for anything to take it over but it is much better to let the mycelium to fully take over because no matter how hard bacteria tries fungus is number one at breaking down wood and wood products.

    @@CountryLivingExperience Yup, from that setup you wouldn't get much fruiting bodies. To fruit, fungi need moving air and drier conditions which this system is preventing which is perfect. The mycelium "roots" (not roots, but will use the term since it's easier to understand) will use any nutrients to create more "roots" to spread even more. It opens up the cells in tough to consume cellulose sources like wood and cornhusks so the worms will be able to consume easier. If you ever find a really old log that looks perfect until you try to lift or sit on and it just disintegrates on touch is the end product of fungus. There might be termites and bugs, but fungi is specialized at getting into every cranny and breaking down wood. I subbed and will be following!
