Compost
High-Rise Layer House Compost System
The composting process elimmotes methane gas and hydrogen
sulfide odors while converting manure in a pathogen-free, weed
seed-free organic product that will never revert to raw manure.
The end product is a stable organic material which has retained
most of its nutrients and is no longer a breeding source for flies, bee
tles or other insects.
