Succession-Based Compost Systems

Building Biology for Living Soil

A practical guide to designing compost that strengthens soil biology rather than simply adding organic matter. Learn how carbon structure, nitrogen balance, oxygen, and time shape microbial succession. This book provides field-tested methods for building compost that supports resilient soils in farms, landscapes, and gardens.
