The deep bedding above grade is just brilliant. It allows oxygen to enter the charcoal and log layer from the sides. Building a good fence containment for that mass of carbon is much easier than digging a hole. This is absolutely perfect. My cousin in Kansas has, at any one time, 4 to 5 thousand hogs in process. That is an extreme commercial operation. This KNF is perfect win level for the small to medium operation. 5 to 50 hogs easily depending on your scale. Great video!!!!

Love your KNF system for raising pigs on your farm Blake. Cool to see how you applied it to your context, and everything was explained so well, thanks!
This is very, very helpful. I just got my first breeding pair of Mangalista Blondes. I have three pens and I am going to try this method. I’m a physician. I have a strong belief in the gut micro biome. Obviously, if the microbes around us are healthy .. then we have those and we are healthy. Fascinating! Great job. I’m in South Dakota.
Mangalica is the best pork! 😍 It's true it has a lot more fat, but the fat is a lot healthier than other pig's fat! And the meat is also tastier! 😋 Not to mention how cute they are with their curly hair!
Wow really love this!! just bought a little property for some small organic farming and I would love to meet with people like you guys. Keep up the great content
You guys answered so many questions about kNF. I will just go above ground with the layers of carbon! I KNOW this is a system that will be on my 4 acre homestead someday soonish!🤙
Really enjoyed this video. At about 9:08 Blake talks about ramping up his charcoal production. This would make a great video. If a video isn't forthcoming, could he please talk more about ramping up charcoal production?
I dug a pit and set a concrete cattle feed trough in it. Got a brush pile built up around it that took a while, it was 40-50 feet across and 10’ high when I lit 🔥 to it. Then took the front end loader and kept pushing it toward the center to get hot coals all in the bottom of the pile. Add more solid logs to completely cover that, almost like you were trying to smother it out. When those start to have burned enough to be white ash covered, I began spraying with water. Probably 100 gallons over 2-3 hours till the smoke completely stopped. Came back next morning and put another 400-500 gallons on it. Made enough to cover 500sq’ with 6” of charcoal.
I have been interested in kNF and IMO. I may end up using it over rotation pasture grazing because our ag property is in a tropical rainforest and I am concerned about the pasture management in a rain setting. I have heard of folks going to Master Cho to get certified in KNF
Wow this is great. I currently have 4 pigs in my barn and have been trying to bed down there pen with straw to help with the smell, moisture and heat but it’s not working. I would love to give this a try. I would love some more information on the KNF system.

Great question. 1st winter I put no rat bait out, and yes mice will setup a home in the bottom. When baby pigs are not running around, I put blocks of poison out to control mice.

Excellent method and news for my planing phase pig keeping ambitions; this blew me away; I also recognized the method as an upscaled pig-driven compost reactor! One important question popped into my mind immediately, though: what about vermin, mice and rats? The clearance between the ground and the actual bedding material, the nooks and cravices in the log layer seems to me as an ideal vermin-problem hotbed in the waiting, pun not intended! But seriously, thick, warm, dry bedding material, with lots of vertical space for tunneling. Would truly appreciate if you could provide some insight on the issue, thank you! Lovely mangalica pigs, greetings from Hungary!
Hi Steven. Do you think high quality compost (soil food web thermophilic compost) can be used in place of imo4 to innoculate the bedding? Thanks in advance

All of the above. Spray IMO4 and LABS on the layers as you build the pen. Sprinkle some solid IMO4 as well. When pen is complete just spray when you notice smells building. I add IMO to their food, LABS in water.
I can't tell if the heat lights are secured... please secure we're the sows can't knock them down and start a fire. I had a grumpy sow knock one down and caught the barn on fire.
Does the type of logs matter? Can one use pine,fur or any other type of evergreen type logs? I kind of concerned due to the pine sap possibility being a problem.
I’m in Washington State and hard wood logs are impossible to get around here. How about apple wood? I believe they are considered a hardwood. I can probably score some through a local farmer. Sometimes Orchard growers uproot their trees to change the variety they are farming.
Yup, Both Cliff & Henry know their pigs. I have the utmost respect for them. Once I have things figured out here, get the infrastructure set-up and the cash in hand, I plan to get my breeders from Cliff. He’s much closer to me. I had Mangalitsa meat at the Self-Reliance festival. Maybe they had a cull pig, because it was not good at all. It was dry and chewy, not flavorful. Billy Bond (PermaPasturesFarm on YT) butchered it and mentioned that it had no fat ring on it. (I don’t recall who provided the pig, and even if I remembered, I’d not mention them.) Being a larder, one would expect to see much more fat. I’m hoping one day to try a good one.
Cliff will have great choices for you. Also, that’s too bad your experience with mangalista was not a good one. There have been stories of people trying to raise them on forages alone, but it won’t produce something good. Maybe that happened, when I had an 18mnth barrow processed, 70% fat. It was delicious.
I learned that the smell of pigs in 100% due to the feed they are given. no exceptions. This is from 100% personal experience. NOT you tube videos etc.
When we fed brewers grains we had no smell. Only when we've fed commercial products - processed feed smells the absolute worst. We haven't found a regular source of the brewers grain since we moved so we're trying to at least get something more natural to see how it works.
I'm not into Instagram. I'm interested in buying three of his March piglets. Does he have a website? I'm in Scott County Tennessee. Thanks for your help.
Pigs root around. Are the logs really necessary? I would think they would turn the “compost” for you for aeration. Plant in some special treats to encourage their rooting. Do love the slot… why didn’t I think of that? LoL
There are very few flies. I’m trying to figure out how to keep them cool with fans instead of Waller. It’s the west spot that has attracted flies, the poop is inert after the microbes do their job, and it doesn’t attract flies.

Has anyone tried this and gave access to a “pasture” area one or 2 days a week? I want the pigs to help knock out a raspberry thicket for future garden.
And another thing I wanted to say is that I'm a Liberian from Liberia live in Liberia, so If you were to agree to them to me how can I get them cause sending the money I know might not be a problem but getting the animals.
I love this system 👍🏼👍🏼. I worked on a pig farm for a while as a teenager, the smell was horrendous...and it makes all your clothes, and even your skin stink too...awful
What if I used Plastic bottles on top of the charcoal instead of logs? 🤔 ...Only because there's a lot of plastic bottles available and because plastic lasts forever.

I was spell bound listening to the pig farmer!! Love that he loves his pigs and knows the animals so well. Great video !! Best of luck to him.
The vertical aspect of building is brilliant. The sourcing/movement of the materials sounds daunting.
Please do a follow up with Blake. Baby pigs are so fun to watch.
Yes Amy that’s a great idea! BABY PIGSSSS!!

This is so cool. I bet it pairs up really well with hugelkultur. Awesome!
KNF method really works 👍👍👍
Thank you for sharing useful information.
So happy I found this video. I had a neighbor show me this method using a hole, I have no way to do that. I love the info about ground up; thanks
Awesome so glad this helped you!
Wow I’m planning to move to East Tennessee thank you so much!

Here in middle Tennessee, I might have to get one of those pigs.
Yes, in Eastern Europe we use the pig lard as oil for a types of cooking instead of olive or vegetable oils, it’s a bit old school
Always informative and but even more so your videos are Creative and Valuable.. Plus the Critters Rock! thx for sharing

I've always turned away from the thought of owning animals simply because of the smell but now I might have to reconsider.
Will Blake do the pigorator method that Joel Salatin describes? My father in law raised them conventionally. It was a mess. Blake’s pigs look happy.
Really good tips!
Interesting thanks guys.
How does it behave in the summer??? I mean, it generates heat so... I'm wondering
I have been interested in kNF and IMO. I may end up using it over rotation pasture grazing because our ag property is in a tropical rainforest and I am concerned about the pasture management in a rain setting. I have heard of folks going to Master Cho to get certified in KNF

Put also salt underneath for anti-bacterial
How do you cool them off in the summer? Here in East Texas I have to spray them down several times a day and provide them access to mud.
I have fans, and they have a Waller. And I spray them down
Thanks for the great insights....Will saw dust wirk instead of wood chips?
Great video!
I’d like to know how he produced the amount of charcoal he needed.
Right?? When he was talking about it. I thought he would explain how he did that.. 😕
Idk probably watched a RUclips video...
@@Nickjaegertree LOL true.. 😁
It's through the practice of making biochar (uncharged)

Hi Steven, what is the best animal to replace pigs 🐖 as we can't raise it.
What does he spray on it when it begins to smell? What is it imo 4? Can u explain what that is?
How do you move the mature sow/finishers from the raised beds out of their enclosure?
Thanks for this video very much, I love your pigs can you sell some of them and if yes what could be the cost of one pair?

I am curious how his cross breeding turned out. Is he happy with the meat to fat ratio? Difference in meat taste and texture, ect.?
What do you add for the correct microorganism ecosystem?
IMO3/4 and LABS
No smell ? Can pigs be in urban residential area?
What’s Blake’s YT Chanel? Or IG?
Hello! Possibly might be interested in one for harvest! I personally love fatty meats! Get back ! Thanks

Wish I had the resources to do that,I have a 12x12 space,love fatty pork,but am not a farmer
So the principle is similar to a compost bedding pack for dairy cows? Plenty of carbon sources and keep it aerated?
Does the type of logs matter? Can one use pine,fur or any other type of evergreen type logs? I kind of concerned due to the pine sap possibility being a problem.
I'd prefer hardwoods so that they will last a lot longer in the system.
I’m in Washington State and hard wood logs are impossible to get around here. How about apple wood? I believe they are considered a hardwood. I can probably score some through a local farmer. Sometimes Orchard growers uproot their trees to change the variety they are farming.
I would think it’s some of those big fir trees would make a good base

At 17:59 he says he sprays whenever it starts to smell.
What, where, and how much does he spray?
I use LABS. 1 cup to a gallon. Maybe 1 times a month.
You should sell all those KNF products for people like me who can’t make it.

Where does he get the micro-organisms that he sprays in the pen?
You can make them via the LABS process and IMO4 in Korean natural farming, or you can buy lacto bacillus from different companies.
I want to see large scale charcoal making process
I dug a pit and set a concrete cattle feed trough in it. Got a brush pile built up around it that took a while, it was 40-50 feet across and 10’ high when I lit 🔥 to it. Then took the front end loader and kept pushing it toward the center to get hot coals all in the bottom of the pile. Add more solid logs to completely cover that, almost like you were trying to smother it out. When those start to have burned enough to be white ash covered, I began spraying with water. Probably 100 gallons over 2-3 hours till the smoke completely stopped. Came back next morning and put another 400-500 gallons on it. Made enough to cover 500sq’ with 6” of charcoal.

He sprayed it with Indigenous Micro Organisms. Aka IMO.

What about rats and snakes using the bottom layer as home?
Pigs eat both rats and snakes, snakes usually steer clear of pigs.
Also a good farm cat will keep them at bay.
How no smell?
