Composting….who does it and why?

1. Too hot, too much nitrogen. Add more carbon materials like the sawdust and dried weeds.
2. Too cold, not enough nitrogen. Add more nitrogen-rich materials like manure and green weeds. Better yet, pee on the compost stack to help activate it.
...today’s lesson was a great illustration of INFORMATION vs. CONCEPT.
Information without understanding will overload and paralyze you.
Understanding a concept allows you to process, filter and organize information in a way that empowers you to make an informed decision and act upon it.
It is the difference between
TEACHING vs. TELLING
EMPOWERING vs. ENABLING
KNOWING vs. UNDERSTANDING
Small shift in emphasis, massive shift in result.

Nicholas Parenteau, a CUSO Cooperant, collects dirt for the compost pile on the NEED-Burma model organic farm near Chiang Mai. This farm was set up by the NGO to teach organic farming principles to farmers from Burma, many of whom have lost traditional farming knowlege due to strong state control of crops, fertilizers and pesticides.
NEED-Burma is the Network for Environment and Economic Development, a not-for-profit, non-governmental organization that operates out of its head office in Chiang Mai, Thailand. NEED has been in operation since March of 2006. They are an inclusive network that is non-ethnic specific, with the mission: to work towards strengthening Burmese civil society so that all the people of Burma may benefit from the practice of endogenous and holistic development strategies, based on economically, environmentally, and socially sustainable ideas.
