Cool. Put the biodegradable stuff in dirt. The stuff goes through the biodegrading process where it gets eaten by bacteria. The bacteria release heat energy while eating, causing the compost-to-be to get hot. Let it get to 130 degrees, and rotate the soil. This kills common pathogens and weed seeds. In a year or two, it'll become really good soil or some kind of plant nutrition so you just sprinkle everywhere, I guess? The end was a bit of a cliffhanger. Very informative, thanks!
Galant Baptiste you could inoculate by using say approx 1 inch layer on the ground the worms will draw the compost deeper and then the plants will use it.
Hi Salimah - Create a compost pile of green, nitrogen-rich, and brown, carbon-rich, materials to create a mixture that breaks down more rapidly than a random mix of yard debris and plant-based food scraps. Start with an 8 to 10” mixed layer of browns like fall leaves, dried plant debris, cornstalks, and straw and greens like plant-based food scraps, herbicide-free grass clippings, and fresh vegetable trimmings. Do not add perennial weeds, invasive plants, weeds gone to seed, diseased- and insect-infested materials that aren’t killed in most compost piles. Keep meat, fat, bones, and dairy products that can attract rodents out of the compost pile. Learn more about composting here: www.milorganite.com/blog/garden-landscape/composting-landscape
