Hey compost lovers, it's Jayne. I'm in Ontario, California, at the USCC Compost Conference '23. It's the largest gathering of composters in the world! Last night, Komptech Americas organized a meet-and-greet for listeners of this podcast. I didn't know what to expect, but it turned out to be the highlight of the week. We gathered on fancy white couches under an enormous Komptech windrow turner and I got to hear your stories. Stories of composters from all over the world and all different sized operations. It's not often compost nerds get to gather and geek out in the same space and time. Truly invigorating! I'm here at my first live interview, chatting with Todd Dunderdale and Brandon Lapsys of Komptech Americas. They have been coming to this conference for many years, Todd being at the very first one twenty years ago. These two have a great pulse on the industry and I wanted to hear about the changes they were seeing, especially when it comes to new equipment.

Hey y'all, Farmer Jayne here. All those beautiful voices you hear were just some of the composters with me at the USCC Compost Conference with me last week in sunny California. I've had a week for that experience to percolate and have settled back into my farm compost site, Earth Care Farm, in Rhode Island where is -2F today. I always love being home, but whoa, that conference was so energizing! I learned a ton by visiting lots of different sized operations, the workshops were fantastic, the trade show floor was on point, but meeting my fellow compost lovers was by far the best part. I wanted to bring you a little of that compost conference experience to our listeners, so here is a little offering from some of the people I met and what they are up to.

Dirt Hugger was founded in 2010 by Pierce Louis and Tyler Miller in The Dalles, Oregon, close to Hood River in the Columbia River Gorge.
Pierce and his business partner, Tyler, started Dirt Hugger after leaving their careers in drone technology. Their background in tech and business has served them well in the compost industry.
Their facility in Washington takes in 50,000 tons of organics a year, and they use a unique aerated pile system.
Dirt Hugger is well known for its high quality compost. They were recently bought by Atlas Organics, and I was especially interested in this transition into working with a bigger umbrella company.
Pierce has tons of great insights, and he was generous in sharing them with us.

Composter and compost users have rightly been concerned with the high levels of phosphorus that can be found in composts, especially those with manure-based feed stocks. Phosphorus leaching is a serious water pollution issue. I had read an article in BioCycle written by Ron Alexander, of R. Alexander Associates, about how phosphorus in organic matter releases more slowly than inorganic, water-soluable phosphorus found in inorganic fertilizers and thought we should dig deeper into it. He has 35+ years experience in composting, has worked with over 200 composting and organics recycling facilities throughout the world, has received numerous awards such as the high Kellog award for outstanding service to the composting industry, and has been named by BioCycle as an organics recycling trailblazer.

Dr. Robert Rynk was aprofessor at NYU where he taught courses on composting, waste management, renewable energy, and agricultural engineering, senior editor of BioCycle Magazine, and executive editor of the peer-reviewed journal Composting Science and Utilization. He is also one the compost industry giants! Bob wrote the book On Farm Composting over 30 years ago. It was the book we at Earth Care Farm used to set up our compost site many decades ago. We talk about so many things, especially about challenges composters are facing with feedstock contamination (i.e. persistant herbicides and PFAS). There's now a sequel to On Farm Composting called The Composting Handbook that Bob was the editor and lead author of and I cannot recommend all 900+ pages of it enough.

Rendre à la nature ce qu'elle nous donne. Et l'une des premières étapes c'est le compostage. Pour rappel, le compostage est un processus de transformation des déchets organiques (déchets de cuisine, déchets verts et de bois) par des micro-organismes et des petits animaux (bactéries, vers de terre) en un produit comparable au terreau : le compost !
Contrairement aux idées reçues, composter n’est pas automatiquement sale, puant ou réservé à ceux qui ont un extérieur. En effet, une multitude de solutions ont vu le jour et elles s'adaptent aux modes de vies urbains.
Il est urgent de s'y mettre. Selon l'ADEME nous jetons 41 tonnes de denrées alimentaires chaque seconde à travers le monde. En France, près de 30kg de nourriture par an et par personne partent à la poubelle, dont 7kg sont encore emballés !
Evidemment, la première étape, est d'acheter moins mais aussi de recycler d'une certaine manière nos déchets organiques.
Composter : un retour aux sources
Toute notre alimentation provient de la nature, ou de services qu'elles nous rend. En fait, chaque jour, nous extrayons des ressources de la planète pour nous nourrir et nourrir nos animaux domestiques. Quand nous jetons nos déchets dans une poubelle, ils finissent enfouis dans de gigantesques trous imperméabilisés pour ne pas polluer les sols, ou alors, ils sont incinérés. Ils n'ont donc aucune "utilité".
A l'inverse, les composter c'est offrir un "retour à la terre". Les nutriments de nos déchets organiques vont nourrir des centaines d'organismes et alimenter un cercle plus vertueux.
Composter en appartement : comment s'y prendre ?
Coup de projecteur sur deux techniques particulièrement adaptées aux appartements n’ayant pas d’extérieur : le lombricompostage et le Bokashi.
Le lombricompostage c'est un bac où les vers de terre décomposent tous les éléments organiques, notamment les fruits (sauf agrumes), les légumes ou les céréales. Il n'y a pas de mauvaises odeurs à la clef et c'est très rapide ! A la fin, vous obtenez un engrais pour vos plantes d'intérieur.
Le Bokashi quant à lui est une méthode qui permet de dégrader par fermentation quasiment tous les déchets, y compris les viandes et les agrumes. Fermé de façon totalement hermétique, il évite lui aussi les mauvaises odeurs. Là aussi on récupère de ce composteur un liquide qui sert d’engrais aux plantes d’intérieur.
