Transforming horse manure, wood and weeds into rich humus compost.

Starting with partially decomposed horse manure, Dennis shows the impact of adding humus to accelerate the breakdown process. He explains the creation and maintenance of a log berm, a layered structure of rotted logs, plant materials, and compost, that fosters the production of high-quality humus. This nutrient-rich substance is then used to enhance compost and support the growth of transplanted plants. Follow along to learn practical tips for building your own log berm and creating compost that benefits your garden.
