Build a dedicated poultry-litter compost bin.

Spent deep-litter bedding has to go somewhere once it comes out of the coop, and this household has no dedicated place to cure it. This bin is built and used ONLY for poultry litter, never as a general household or yard-waste compost bin, because litter needs its own tracked curing interval before it is safe near any edible bed.

Pay

$160 proposed

This packet is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price and not money waiting in escrow. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash. You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof

resident-permission record + local-ordinance confirmation + before/after photos + bin-construction photos + GPS

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.

Steps

1. 1. Confirm with the resident, and with Mount Vernon city government or Franklin County (whichever governs this address), that local ordinance allows a backyard compost structure before any construction step begins. Photograph the bare site before starting.
2. 2. Frame a simple 2 to 3 bay bin from untreated, food-safe lumber, sited clear of the home's foundation and any storm-drain inlet, with ventilation gaps and a rodent-resistant hardware-cloth screen.
3. 3. Label the bin clearly "poultry litter only -- not general compost" so it is never mixed with household food scraps or general yard waste.
4. 4. Photograph the completed bin from the matching before vantage and record its bay count and dimensions.
5. 5. Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water immediately after any contact with the coop, run, litter, or compost, and wear dedicated boots or shoes for this chore that stay outside and never come indoors.

What counts as done

• Written or recorded permission from the resident
• Confirmation that local ordinance was checked before construction began
• Before photo of the bare/unused ground
• After photo of the completed bin showing bay count, ventilation gaps, rodent-resistant screening, and the poultry-litter-only label

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.

The standard this serves

Edible Garden Cultivation. Edible garden cultivation is food growing done to the standards the land-grant universities have refined for a century: healthy soil in tested beds, the right crop in the right season, hand tools, patience, and records. Mastery looks like a Master Gardener's plot, beds that feed a family most of the year from a piece of ground the size of a parking space. Every gardener who reaches that point started with a single bed and a single season. This packet is that start: one bed built or tended properly, one honest note about what happened.
