to George and Paultte
Looks like yer stuck on the middle line of the keyboard to me....
A message or so ago you were writing about how impossible the aerated
compost system is that is suggested by magicsoil.com. I was impressed with
the research, their equipment and the probability that they are right. Compost
certainly is much better if kept aerobic for the entire cycle. Something
we have not done elsewhere except in a much more expensive
system. Also the cycle is faster and they say without odor. If their
process is really without odor then the stuff most piles are made of is anaerobic
much of the time. Also the temperature is all over the place when it is
turned in the usual way. The cost to turn compost is way up there.even
when done with a fork.
As I recall your remark "But the (Magic) equipment is so big and the
process so expensive it ruins the idea of individual and small operator composting.
A small composer can't consider that process." We were getting along with
our old pile whatever it does" .
But full aeration adantages are many. Low or no
odor
full aerobic full time promotes
AEROBIC microbes full time.
almost no turning labor or machines
required.
compatable with vermicompost.
May greatly improve vericomost.
use less space, shorter cycle, better,
SAFER compost.
potential for good Temp control
develop aerobic fungi and bacteria
thruout the entire pile.
Increase protozoa and diversity
by keeping more of original life.
Leaves you the energy and time to
do the fun part of gardening.
Model 20
For a home or small commercial system capable of up to 20 CY per month,
cost of operation for a year is $ 21.00 ( 20 cubic yards a month capacity. Can
produce less as wanted) System cost $ 283.00.
Model 40
For a larger but still small commercial system capable of 40 CY per
month, cost of operation $30.00 for a year. System cost $ 395.00 Life
expectancy 5 to 10 years.
Bob's Brewers has the systems available for a limited number in
each size on request..
Does that change your attitude about fully aerated systems, George
and Paulette ?
