Composting wrong, and how to fix it is a great topic. I'm thrilled to find all three writers - Sam Westreich, Sharing Science and Farmersledge.

I wrote a similar article, The Big Lie of Composting https://medium.com/@SymSoil/the-big-lie-of-composting-or-how-to-turn-food-scraps-into-great-compost-9fc2e0e287a0 just a week ago. To summarize, I encouraged people to remember that the goal is to replicate the natural process that occurs on the floor of the forest.

SymSoil is a strategic partner of the Local Carbon Network (a new tag on Medium) and wants to make it easy for households to make good compost with kitchen scraps. Composting done as recommended by the Local Carbon Network (with biochar made at high temperature, woody material, insulated composter, and a finisher that reintroduces the 7 types of life in the complete soil microbe biome, or Soil Food Web) also allows the household to throw in fish bones, milk products, shredded cardboard, and paper napkins, without concern for smell or vermin.

Until recently, the Local Carbon Network was only available in a small number of communities, but now is ready to expand nationally. Already we have a nacent group in Marin and Palo Alto. SymSoil has a warehouse in Fairfield CA, Solano County - so we are hoping to gain some early adopters Davis, Vacaville and Vallejo.
