There is hope! The solution is right beneath our feet. Work with nature. Recycling organic wastes turns death in to life. Compost your wastes! Build soil! Support organic and regenerative farms. Its a win-win as the benefits of restoring soil are multifaceted: healthier plants, healthier people, healthier planet. And its so easy, you can do it in your own backyard. Start small. Think local. Act global.

But our soils are in trouble. Organic matter and life im the soil is becoming depleted at a rapid rate. This results in infertile soils that cannot produce healthy plants. Increased runoff pollutes waterways, decreased nutrition in plants results in sick plants and sick people, and we are losing oir soils capacity to retain carbon and water.

Why is soil important? Not only does the vast majority of our food come from soil, but soil holds an immense amount of carbon, water, and microbes - in other words soil supports life. Without healthy soil, all life struggles to survive.

After a year of vermicomposting in an experimental tote, we are now ready to upgrade to a continuous flow system, where food is added on top and castings are harvested in the bottom. Im very pleased with the microbial quality of our fresh worm castings so far, and hope to produce enough castings to supplement our compost teas and extracts offerings (4 bins in total, thanks to Cheri !)

I have much to learn about vermicomposting still, but I look forward to taking care of more animals at on our homestead.

Home vermicompost part 2 of 3: microbial analysis - nematode scan (40X) and overall assessment 🐿

I tried a vermicompost bin in our house a few years ago and found it was overloaded with flies and abandoned the mission. Since June 2025 I started again. I like to keep the bin outside in the shade until temperatures dropped to around 15C, then brought them inside for the winter. I reduced the food volume, which reduces activity including the production of flies. It seems to be going well. Im ready to scale up in the spring and use this vermicompost in teas and extracts, and hopefully breed enough worms to add to my Johnson-Su Bioreactors.

Next, I'll share some pics under the microscope.

What do DNA sequencing and microscopy together reveal about nitrogen-fixing bacteria in compost extracts? Short answer: they’re present across well-made composts (~5% relative abundance by sequencing), but DNA percentages aren’t the same as biomass — so pair sequencing with microscopy or CFU counts. Microbial diversity and overall biomass matter more than any single organism. Read the full breakdown and practical takeaways in our latest post. https://wix.to/B0LgX2q

At a Glance: Nitrogen-Fixing Bacteria in Compost Extracts • DNA sequencing shows that nitrogen-associated rhizobacteria (Rhizobiales) occur at similar relative abundance (~5%) across well-made compost extracts, regardless of compost type. • Compost DNA percent composition is not a measure of bio...
