IASP Poultry Waste Pilot Study
Unloading Manure — The dump trailer was useful.
Cap the Air Hose — The aeration hose was capped at one end.
Oxygen Extended — After a PVC pipe extension was added, the fan was attached.
Air is Regulated — The fan pushes oxygen into the pile.
Solid Extension — The PVC pipe doesn’t have ventilation holes and allows the cover to lay flat.
Corrugated Hose — The flexible corrugated hoses contains many slits to allow air flow.
Woop Chipper — Wood chips are dropped over the aeration hose.
Chips Cover Hose — Wood chips are then dropped over the aeration hose.
Oxygen Flow Key — Wood chips will allow oxygen to flow throughout.
Complete Coverage — The aeration hose must be covered with wood chips.
The Base — The wood chips should be 2" to 3" chunks.
Almost Complete — Base layers are in place while the PVC extension is left uncovered.
Ready for Manure — The pile is ready to support the next layer.
Here it Comes — Cow manure is mixed in with wood chips.
Mixing Ingredients — The manure/mulch mixture was added.
MOR Compost Cover — The Compost Cover was draped over the pile.
Air in Intervals — The fan blows air underneath the cover.
Strapped Down — Sand filled pipes are strapped to the cover.
Edges Sealed — Weighted pipes help seal the edges of the cover.
Pile Gets Oxygen — The fan pushes air at 890cfm.
MOR Cover Rises — The Compost Cover will fill with air.
