Oddbean new post about login | logout GM. My cluckers are enjoying a pile of restaurant trash. I love converting trash into eggs.🐓 #grownostr #chickens #homesteading https://image.nostr.build/ca1a87cb0fc4035df6cf5b4a07f991356e4416be622acd781d742d0b6d81d974.jpg
Good morning ✌️🧡
How'd you convince them?
Convince them what? To eat chunks of prime rib or pulled pork? If so, by dumping it out on the ground. They may not eat all of it, but this gets composted. I also pick up bags of leaves and lawn waste that city folk bag up for me if there isn't a lot of trash and the lawn has weeds. I'll put down a bag and some biochar after they have lost interest. I'm about ready to build another johnson-su inspired bioreactor with all this material.
Oh, it was your restaurant trash, not trash from the restaurant
Yes. I collect veg and meat scraps, mistakes, spoiled food, and have the dishwasher save unfinished food from plates. A good shift will yield a 5 gallon bucket of scraps. I just like to call it trash because it would have been thrown away I think you could get some restaurants to work with you if you tell them you are composting it. It may save them on dumptster pickups (so much waste). They don't need to know you are using chickens or pigs to make compost. You could just set a schedule where you pick up 5 gallon buckets and give them clean buckets.
