Compost Systems & Training

Description

Bailey Compost - Snohomish, Washington In 1992, I began my composting career at Bailand Farms in Snohomish, Washignton. This was a hobby of sorts - an opportunity to take what I had learned as a consultant working on municipal composting projects and applying it to dairy manure. I built turned windrow compost piles and after much time and effort, I decided to experiment with Aerated Static Pile (ASP) Composting. The picture shown here was my very first aerated compost pile, comprised of scraped dairy manure mixed with horse manure and bedding as a bulking agent. This pilot project was very successful and ultimately led to what is now "Bailey Compost", a green waste (90%) and dairy manure (10%) compost system. Wickerink Dairy / Growell Potting Mix – Duncan, B.C., Canada 300-head dairy herd Jerry Wickerink utilizes composted dairy manure from his herd as a component of his topsoil blends for his other business, Growell Compost. Growell produces both bulk and bagged products and is the best established brand in their area of Vancouver Island, British Columbia. Their compost system was designed with assistance provided by O2Compost and includes aeration trenches constructed into the concrete base. State University of New York (SUNY) – Cobleskill, New York While working in partnership with the Pennsylvania company Integrity Nutrient Control Systems, O2Compost designed an aerated compost system for SUNY Cobleskill to manage their separated dairy manure. We are continuing to work on this project, in association with Dr. Robert Rynk, to incorporate horse manure / bedding from their equine studies department along with food waste from dining halls around the campus.
