Extractor uses water and air to concentrate living biology in compost into liquid that can be used in sprayers, seeders, and other equipment to jump start soil biology. Shawn Preputin, Larry Johnson, and Alec McIntosh, farmers, create compost extract that is applied to their crop fields to bolster soil microbes and improve soil health. Hill County, MT; June 2022
a 3 bin compost system I built from reclaimed pallets held together with long screws. I later added plywood lids to keep off the rain. Composting is really good for healing soil. Starts all sorts of biological activity.
I'd guess that between 10 and 15 pumpkins got carved this year. The bin was already pretty full and the squirrels had gotten into the yard buckets overnight.

Marni Thompson (L), NRCS soil health specialist, examines crop roots where compost extract is applied in the field. Notice soil sticking to roots showing the formation of glomalin, a sugar that helps to glue soil aggregates together creating stable soils that are able to infiltrate and store more water.

The soil in the flower beds is pretty ropey. It's full of stones, chunks of concrete, tin cans, bricks, broken glass, broken china... everything. I get the impression it hasn't been cultivated in a long time. I haven't got the energy to do what dad does. He digs it all out onto a huge taupauline. Then he sifts out all the stones and layers the hole with peat and bonemeal and all sorts of things... I decided to brush a thin layer of compost over it all.
The organic waste compost from all last year has turned into a very rich soil we're turning into the garden this year before planting.

I wanted to test how compostable this "compostable" bag really was. I put it in my worm bin for 4.5 months (enough time for all of the vegetable matter to be fully broken down).
This is what the bag looked like before composting.
