A More Sustainable Adventure

Compost Still Not Fertile Enough

By letter2self on June 16, 2024



We repeated an experiment of growing potato plants in municipal compost for the second year. I was expecting that additional time would have helped the compost to mature a lot more so that it would be able to release a better supply of nitrogen for the growing plants. But it seems without a lot of extra added nitrogen, many of the plants were not able to get enough nitrogen to grow well.

3:23 More amendments
4:51 Expanding experiment
5:33 Planting
6:41 Still deficiencies
7:39 Some better than others
8:58 New batch of compost
9:41 More nitrogen needed
