There is a bug in 3.30.1 making it sync everything, in a loop. Keep an eye on your data usage! https://github.com/nextcloud/android/issues/13738

Good luck and enjoy presenting! If you are willing and allowed to, could you share your full slidedeck afterwards? Or at the odd chance of it being recorded, please share the video!

Really cool that you are doing this for your local community =)

Nice pile there! I'm guessing this Composting Day is a (US) national thing? A quick search shows 'Learn About Composting Day', is that the one?

Please tell us more. Over here (Netherlands) we do have a 'national compost day' in March, where you can go and get compost from the municipality. Great initiative, though the quality of compost is questionable as it's the end product of whatever the municipality collected in the green bins over the year. And people put in, well, everything. So, it is definitely not a 'Learn About' day, while we could use that for sure over here in my experience.

Sounds good to me. I wouldn't sweat it and just give it more time. You have a somewhat decent balance of greens and browns? Not trying to compost a humongous amount of orange peels?

Just to be sure, your pile is directly on the actual soil? Second, how are the moisture levels? In my pile, I noticed an increase in worms when I things were wetter than they were before. Depending on your setup that might be tricky to control. But moreover, time. In the first months I hardly spotted any worms in my pile. After say two years, there are plenty. Never added them myself, they just found the party.

 

Just stumbled upon this documentary trailer, and I find it highly inspiring. I've been thinking about asking my municipality how they/we could stimulate composting at home, but an approach as I understand from this short trailer would be so much cooler.

There's more info in the link below. Apparently the full documentary premiered last week or the week before, I'm going to try to find it. If somebody has found it, please share!

I had to lookup 'coppice' and 'pollard', didn't expect to learn something new within the first five posts on this community. If you know of any nice introduction video on the topic, please post it to the sub.

 

Let's make this the place to share all our questions, ideas and results of any type of composting we can think of. Whether you've been composting for decades or just forgot to empty the green bin and doing bokashi by accident, let us know how and why you do things the way you do. Share your stories and your photos. Your designs, or designs you found online or perhaps in some cool old book you stumbled upon. Anything goes.

To kick off and introduce ourselves, why not drop a short messages on what your favourite composting methods are?

No worries, hope everyone and everything is alright over there. Thanks for the update.
