Hi totally new to composting - we are down in the tropics of sout
america (actually got a write up in the Guardian
The food we grow tastes great - but I think I can help make the garde even better with a good compost made up of all the organic veggi scraps we generate here at the hotel.
Their pile seems a bit shallow and spread out for the heat we have her
- this I can fix.
They also put limestone in with the waste?
My question is if limestone is some sort of activator that they kno about and I don't? (something like alfalfa?) Or is it just doin nothing and we should use some other activator -- in th leaf/scraps/activator mix.
A follow-up would be - what activator to use if limestone is no available -- something that would be readily available in such a area.
Thank you
S
