This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEP curriculum.  Completing this BB is part of getting the straw badge in Homesteading.

For this BB, you will be constructing a Jean Pain composting system (4+ cu yards)!

Here is a short related video:


To document your completion of the BB, provide the photos or video (<2 min) of the following:
 - the supplies you're starting with
 - part way through the build
 - the finished Jean Pain composting system (4+ cu yards)
 - Measure hot water from the jean pain pile at a temperature of at least 130 degrees F once a week for eight weeks and drops no lower than 110 degrees for 3 minutes at 1.5gpm
 - Must have at least three spots where people can add urine
