RE: How to Make Compost from Leaves

in #homesteading7 years ago

Great stuff! I have been working with building better and better compost with each new pile. This season I plan to plant a row of bocking 14 comfrey to be my main nitrogen input, and I'm working on a chipper to break up my carbon inputs into smaller pieces. And I have been nerding out on soil science like crazy lately. I definitely recommend reading anything by Dr.Ingham. Right now I'm absorbing JADAM, which really promotes anaerobic microbes over aerobic, which flies in the face of my composting methods. I'll have to write a post on my findings.
Great post about compost! I love seeing the updates!

Hey, Brett! Great to see you here.

I've read a lot about the benefits of comfrey near your swales but it doesn't seem to be available here. Got to find what out local equivalent is. Sounds like you've got a lot of awesome things going on. I haven't been doing too much research, but try and learn by trying out various methods. Looking forward to learning from your experiences and those awesome posts I'm sure you'll write.

Steemit takes some time to get used to, but is a great place to be. There's a thriving homesteading/ permaculture community here and I'm glad you're here to share your insights with us.

I really appreciate that, Kartik! You're right, steemit does take some getting used to, but I see a lot of potential here for sharing content.
