Composting aerobically means making sure the compost does not go anaerobic -
which means bad smells, stink, ammonia, rotten egs, vinegar, vomti smells
occurring.

If the Earth Machine gets too wet, from too much vegie material, it will
typically start to smell.

Fish hydrolysate - check Organic Gem or Neptune's Harvest web sites. Good
fungal as well as bacterial foods.

The brown maerial from a filter is basically bacterial material, and adding
it to a compsot tea will feed bacteria.

Seaweed has to be carefully washed to make sure any salt is removed, but if
done properly, and dried, it can be used as kelp meal.
