Get in touch
Corrections are especially welcome. If something here is wrong, or contradicts what your pile is actually doing, we want to know. Below: the practical detail on contact, and what most guides leave out.
What we would like to hear about
Corrections. If a page states something inaccurate, tell us what and, ideally, what it should say. Corrections get made and noted.
Questions we have not answered. The material library and troubleshooting sections grow based on what people actually ask.
Photographs of piles going wrong. Genuinely useful. Good reference images of failure states are scarce, and they help the next person diagnose theirs.
What we cannot help with
We are not able to diagnose commercial or municipal composting operations, and we do not give advice on regulated waste handling.
