Summary

In this episode, we highlight the fundamentals of compost. What's actually going on in your compost pile, and how does that influence the decisions you make to keep your compost pile healthy? Why does compost sometimes seem to be beneficial and sometimes it doesn't, and what do all of the microbes in the soil have to do with it?   Sources: "Let it Rot!
