#compost #vermi-compost

This is a trial begun May 2023 to determine to what extent I can add sargassum to the current compost system I had at my home in Santo Domingo.  I found composting sargassum alone (w/o mixing into my food waste wasn't breaking down).  I the began adding it to my regular compost and it broke down in 4-6 weeks along with the food waste.

This was a method for composting I used while living in group housing in Washington DC from 2009 to 2012.  Funniest thing someone said was, "you can't keep worms outside in DC, they'll freeze".  To which I replied, "they live outside".  In all fairness, they do need to be shielded from open freezing temperatures which can freeze and kill them.

I used to manage a 300-lb per week modified wind-row composting set up also in Washington DC, when I used to volunteer with Common Good City Farm also from about 2009-2012.
