Composting hoop structure bedding/manure

Research has focused on several methods of building a compost pile. One method was to load the manure into a manure spreader and immediately unload it onto the ground. When the pile reached the top of the spreader, the spreader was pulled forward to form a windrow. This method breaks up chunks and mixes the manure. The other method was to remove manure with an end loader to form 6-ft. tall windrows, which is the method used by most farmers.
