    Hi Guys,

    That’s a great course! it answered the majority of the questions for me, I’ve only been through once so far, I may have missed bits but, I don’t recall any mention of the compost process which for me, is the closing of the circle.

    Value for money is excellent, I was already inspired by your project, it could work very well in my local area but the scaling of it was a mystery to be unfolded by trial and error or better, by your fantastic course!

    Thanks for your kind feedback Antony, really nice to hear that the course was of great benefit for you 🙂

    With regards to the compost process, it is similar to any normal composting process, with the key thing being to make sure you get the right mix of additional materials added and to create good airflow.

    Although you will get a good quality soil improver simply by breaking/crumbling up your spent substrate and leaving it outside to break down for a couple of months, you can make it better by adding some bulkier material like straw or woodchips, as well as some other nitrogen-rich materials and greens….and then aerate it regularly by turning. Here’s a useful article from the Eden Project on producing good compost:

    Best wishes, Adam
