Excellent !! Thank You for posting this video

what a treasure...blessings

[@KompostLiebe]

Great work! Nice Channel!

[@billiebruv]

Fantastic. The Di Haggerty/Nutrisoil story is very inspirational, get rid of David Littleproud and put Di in his place, boot out Barney Joyce and place Peter Andrews in his position

Thank you.

[@stevelarson4925]

Thanks for posting the video!! Will there be any more from videos available from this workshop?

[@stevelarson4925]

Will any more of these workshop sessions be released on youtube?

20:1-30:1 C:N ratio. 50-60% moisture level - mix your microbial inoculant into water. create the pile tapering like some pyramid. cover with tarp or any other suitable material. put something heavy like used tire on the very top of the pyramid/pile so that this creates a dent or dip - the function is, as moisture goes off, this collects at the top and the dip drips the water back to the pile. Gerry seems to be saying it is not even a dip, maybe the word to use is indentation that is wide enough to collect the water, not sharp or deep. the process is originally aerobic but turns just about immediately anaerobic (no more oxygen). so it seems facultative microbes (can shift performance from aerobic to anaerobic depending on conditions)are involved... blessings to all😇

Great video! I still don't understand why you are increasing the growth of facultative and anaerobic microbes when most are not really beneficial as far as I know? Any answers would be helpful, thanks.

From what I've seen, many different types of composting end up with similar results so long as you aren't killing all microbes at any point and give it time. In fact, multiple people say you need 3 months to a year of "maturing" to get the broadest array of microbes available in your compost. If you have any amount of good bacteria and put it into areas that plants are growing, their exudates will "select" for beneficial microbes out of your large bag of mystery microbes. That's MY hypothesis on why anything seems to work given enough time (and probably why he seems to not care what is being grown, so long as your final product is diverse).

Its the fungi. Look up David Johnson, johnson-su bioreactor, BEAM compost.
