S1 Ep 48: How to Make Better Compost: with Michael Kennard

In this weeks episode Martha and Jamie are joined by soil and compost expert Michael Kennard of Compost Club to explore all things compost and soil health. Michael explains why microbes matter, what good compost should look and smell like, How to make better compost, and where gardeners with limited space should begin. Martha also reveals her 18-month-old bokashi disaster before the group compares bokashi, wormeries, cold piles and hot composters, and asks how local Compost Clubs could keep food waste and nutrients within communities.
