I couldn't get the video to load, but I do compost in my raised beds. In fact I just build my beds that way too. I'm kind of a lazy gardener. I throw down my old hay, then some manure, then plant.

We have a number of piles that will be gardens next summer!

You grow pigs right? What is there manure like? Can you use it right away like horse or does it get hot and need to be composted for some time?

the pigs need to be composted as well, we are going to rotate their pasture this year and plant in their current one, should grow well
