**Finally putting finished compost to use from the chicken composting system, dressing an onion garden bed in the food forest!**

Horse manure is collected, making compost piles in the chicken paddock. The chickens break the piles down, finding bugs and other food to eat within the piles. The chickens get free high quality protein from the piles and they pay a yield eggs for their work in helping to turn the piles. The piles are rebuilt daily moving them slowly from the rear of the paddock towards the front. Once the pile reaches the front of the paddock the compost is done. The first pile of compost for this season is finished and now being used to fertilize a garden bed in the food forest for planting onions.
