Ultimate Compost Pile

For years my father and brother ran a beef cattle farm. Where ever they fed hay for the winter they would move the big racks, and pile up the "nutrients" in a large pile and let them compost. Created great spots for top soil.

I now own an area of the farm that was called the "Bull Pen", because that is the remote area where the bulls were kept when not in service. I needed some new top soil for my garden recently and knew just where to look.

Tractor is a Kioti DK55. This one belongs to a farmer near my land. I have a smaller Kioti CK30.

Nice dirt, it composted for some time from the looks of things. I be over to get some! :lol:

Kubota's have orange buckets to match the tractor, that is on way to tell from the photo. Unless it is a added on bucket.
