About

I’m an urban gardener who quantifies compost quality and shows how different systems translate into healthier beds and tastier harvests.

Compost is a soil input first; the bin is a means to that end.

Background

My tomatoes doubled after I ditched a soggy pile for an aerated static bin. I logged C:N ratios, sifted with a cheap frame, and measured soil organic matter with a basic kit. The finished compost spread cleanly, roots ran deeper, and the bin choice finally showed up in harvests.
