Awesome video! Thanks a lot for sharing. Thanks Geoff Lawton for giving me the crazy idea to turn my sand dune into fertile soil. 3 year using this technique and adding it to my sandy soil and I have many worms now, my soil is starting to live again!

The correct ratio is kind of unachievable for most people. We compost with what waste we have, and that waste comes in whatever ratio it comes in. I'm not going to throw away green material because I have to much of it for the perfect ratio. That's just wasteful. Compost will still work with any ratio it will just take longer and that's fine with me.

0:32 - Compost does not protect the environment since it produce methane and carbon dioxide during the decompose process. Unless it was buried deep enough underground.
@lulusperch1742
11 ай бұрын
Thanks for your comment! Methane and carbon dioxide are normal emissions from biological decomposition and exist within the natural methane and carbon dioxide cycle. Every forest floor decomposes and emits gases just like every forest absorbs and transforms those gases back into biomass. So to say that compost does not protect the environment because of the miniscule amount of gas it produce may be an overstatement. If anything your concern begs the question: how do we capture and store that small amount of methane for future use e.g. cooking gas. Then we can discuss ideas around bio-digestors and compost bladders! Cheers
