BTW, before I forget: Yes, grubs are benneficial to the composting process and I don't pick them out from a still decomposing pile, it's only when I do my final screening that I hand pluck them out (their work is done)
I know, what am I talking about, right? Yesterday I covered my grub problem and discussed not only my typical disposal methods, but more importantly the problem I have with Chui eating their guts.
Then it hit me: Neighbor Pam has 10 chickens and I remember reading that chickens go fuckin' nuts over grubs - it's perfect! I can feed the chickens (whose eggs I do occasionally enjoy), dispose of grubs without exposing Chui to by product, I just toss them over the wall (super easy) and my favorite - it's a terrible way to DIE!
Here's a video of me tossing a few handfulls (yes, I touch them) over the wall, as I zoom in you can see a couple get shredded by the savage fowl:
Nice new pile, thermometer is in place and I plan to log the temps over the next couple weeks so I can plot the progress |
Compared to the pictures from less than a week ago it's really shaping up.
