Mark,
How do you know when you have a 25:1 C:N ratio?
Thanks,

I just run my cull hay through the chipper/shreader to get it down
fairly
fine and mix it with enough manure to give the 25:1 carbon nitrigon ratio
mix it all together with my tiller and scrape it into a big enough pile with
the grader box to heat up properly keep it wet enough and mix it up with the
tiller ever couple of weeks.

I'd be interested in suggestions for composting hay. I bale several hundred
bales per year, and would love to turn it into good compost, rather than
store it and sell it and buy compost with the proceeds. The hay is mixed
grasses, with little legume content. Any ideas about what to mix it with,
how to handle it, caveats, etc? Would hay with lots of clover in it make hot
compost without amendments?
thanks, Richard
