I collect humus from the woods and add to compost. Just to ensure that it has a full range of fungus.
It is amazing how voracious are the bacteria that make compost. They are like little sharks in the pile. I am glad they are not tribble size, or the entire world would be eaten by them. I add a banana peel to my compost pile, and within a week it is entirely done.
I will be making around 4000 pounds of compost in the next 4 weeks - lots of mulched leaves and lots of coffee grounds.
