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 !!

John
