Capitol Hill Blue Forums Thread Like Summary - Compost, anyone?

Today another local group I work with is having a Johnson-Su compost workshop at my biomass processing facility. 30 people are signed up to learn how to make a static pile reactor that ends up making a fungal dominant soil inoculant. The project is making 28 reactors and collecting food waste from several area grade schools, which is mixed with ground up biomass, leaves, manure, and whatever else is available and left to the worms and microbes to process for up to a year. I’ll also be giving a tour of my fabrication shop and showing several models of biochar/boiler equipment that are under construction.

Fungal dominant compost

I heard about something like this on NPR last week. A dairy farm gets baked goods waste from a local bakery plant and mixes it with cow manure in these 'anaerobic digesters' and methane gas is produced which generates turbines that produce electricity the farm sells to the electric company to offset the farm costs.

Loggy, you should get NPR to do a story on your facility.

What ever happened to your idea of taking organic material and mixing it with dirt to make houses from Loggy?

The composting workshop was a big success, lots of new contacts and friends made in the local community!

One of my main colleagues in this stuff also happens to be a top ornithologist. He said he saw a covet of 15 Montezuma quail on my 10 acre industrial park property today - I had never heard of them. All I knew about was Gambel's quail. He said they're kind of a rare species.
