I want to buy a book on compost and would be grateful for recommendations. I like the titles of "Compost Science for Gardeners" and "The Science of Compost". Am leaning toward the latter because author is a scientist. But perhaps there are other titles to consider? #compost #composting #compostodon #gardening #soil #science #SoilEcology

we’re confident that our biggest issue in our #garden this year was lack of organic matter in our beds (since this was our first year #gardening and we didn’t have any #compost to start off with).

to address this, we’re trying a few different things:
- a tumbling composter primarily for kitchen scraps (mixed with various brown material)
- mesh composters filled with invasive/exotic plants, hay, leaves, and used hemp bedding, in layers
- an old plastic composter that i neglected last year, to be left open over winter to finish decomposing
- “chop and drop” on some of our beds

#compost enthusiasts: i’d be so grateful for your thoughts! does this seem like a sensible approach to maximize compost for next year? we live in a temperate climate where it doesn’t remain below freezing for long

boosts encouraged!

I'm often curious about putting unprinted cardboard, or printer paper, napkins, paper towels etc in my home #compost. Does #compostodon know if these materials have unsavory chemical contamination or microplastics?
