Composting is the art of balancing carbon/nitrogen, moisture, and aeration flow. It can be frustrating when your compost pile is not reaching temperature required by PFRP, or is producing smelly odors that can potentially shut down your operation by angry neighbors. Oftentimes, a little understanding of the biology of compost is all that is needed to properly maintain a compost system.

I can help you diagnose issues of temperature, moisture, and odor in your compost system. I design and troubleshoot compost systems from small scale to large, including backyard and on-farm compost piles, community composting projects, and industrial compost facilities. Together we can make adjustments to your current management system, or develop a project that meets the needs of your community.
