Hi Anna and Mark,
I am re-reading 'farmers of 40 centuries'.
There is also a .pdf about Tigray, Ethopia.
Both talk about compost. How to/ how is was made.
The Tigray study documents 2X growth as a result of using their suggested method for of composting.
I won't steal their thunder.... At least right now :).
IMHO - 'Worth careful study by the serious student :)'
Lots of fun !!
