Stumbled across this subreddit yesterday and posted a video dumping some fish guts for a compost pile. I guess some of you thought I was just leaving it out like that? Anyways we’ll receive the fish guts every week from local fisheries that would otherwise send the fish waste to landfills. We make sawdust bowls, load the fish in and cover with more sawdust. We turn the piles, water them and check the temps. We don’t have any problems with pests other than the seagulls that will follow the trucks from the fisheries. We have various stages of the compost piles in the first picture. The lightest on the left being the newest/freshest over to the darker piles in the middle. Far right is our sawdust pile. Second picture I’m turning a bunch of summer squash plants into a vegetable compost pile. Third and fourth are pictures of a pile from last year. We are working on getting involved more with liquid fertilizer and making a fish hyrdolysate from the fish waste fermented with molasses and water. I’m doing this work as a contractor for my Native American tribe in Michigan. We’re doing this on tribal ground on our tribal farm where we grow organic produce grown pesticide free that we distribute back to the community. Thanks for looking
