i'm new to chickens. i have thrown my leftover stuff in the compost for years. i've never actually harvested my compost. i don't turn it & i don't layer it. i just throw things in it. i have alot of kitchen stuff. a fair amount of leaves.
now that i have chickens i'm wondering if i just throw the pine shavings into the compost? i'm using the deep litter method & wondering how quick it breaksdown.
i'm also considering having a couple of rabbits just for the manure. i've got two raised beds this year that are a block buster success. i want to continue this, but i need a source of manure.
i want to make my compost work for me now & not sure how to make it happen.
