Good Steward Composting
Composting Methods for Beginners
Good Steward Composting is more than just a name. It is the belief in a system of caring for the Earth in ways that are both natural and sustaining. The primary goal for this website is to educate people about different composting methods I’ve learned. To that end, I’ll be sharing content about how to make hot compost (thermophilic composting), how to compost with worms (vermicomposting), bokashi, aerated static pile composting, Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL), Korean Natural Farming (KNF), and much more. From the many options available, I know you’ll find something that you can apply today.
Composting Hacks
Additionally, I’ll reveal tips that can take some of the guess work out of composting, ensuring you achieve your desired results faster. I’ll share information about the carbon-to-nitrogen ratio, examples of good and bad inputs, tips on how to setup and maintain a worm bin, as well as what to look out for or not be too concerned with.
