Re: Johnson Su composting Bioreactor instructions for home, not the farm.
Has, I don't know if you remember my final compost pile before I hung up my manure fork. The PVC French drain piping needed more holes but otherwise I thought I did a decent job imitating a J-Su pile. It was filled to about 2'. It needed an air gap at the bottom, but hey, it was a fun way to retire.
Stabilizing the French drain pipes.

Protecting the top openings during filling.

Re: Johnson Su composting Bioreactor instructions for home, not the farm.
Yes I do recall this event and I thought you did a excellent job building it. I see you also recognize some areas that needed to be corrected for better airflow. I also recall that you were disappointed because I went down to a small amount but now since I’ve been doing larger JSCB in the totes I figured out that your amount was a very good amount that could be used in the garden for powerful results.
I have a young man to fill my large tote for about $50. I also have spread the compost around the whole yard each year. I do my own compost extract because I can dig it out with my hands or hand shovel.
