Re: [compost_tea] compost



Making good compost is something of an art, because each batch of starting materials is different, and you have to learn to adjust your composting to take those differences into account.

Merry Bradley, a Master Composter, in Eugene Oregon, and SFI have been working on testing dfferent recipes for back-yard composting, and have come up with something that works well, to get the temp, for the time needed, but only NEEDS turning once, perhaps twice.  Easy for back-yard gardeners to do too. 

The pub will be coming out, soon.  But read soon as proably a year or so.  Takes time and money to do the proper science. 

We have put the compost information back on the SFI website, because I have not been able to get the compost book finished.  Too many things we are still learning about the microbiology of compost!

Where do you learn what we ar learning?  You have to come to a seminar about compost.  One is coming up next week in Corvallis......
