Spreading Manure on the Homestead

Here at Riverbend we’re producing all of our own homemade compost. This is a rich, nutrient-dense fertilizer for our gardens and pastures to promote fertility and help our land thrive. Check out the video in this post as I teach the next generation how to manage a large compost pile and work the machinery on the farm.
