compost!

O’o Farm has by now mastered the art and science of making compost. Composting involves nurturing and watching over a living/growing thing- much like making wine, cheese, or sourdough bread, because all these activities involve propagating microbes. Microbes (bacteria and fungi) do most of the work, but you have to feed and care for them regularly, and each are peculiar to their specific location and have their own proclivities with regards to diet, temperature, and exposure to air, water, and sun.
