Steamy Hot and Dirty…Compost.

This is a short video I made to introduce the process of making a Berkley Thermophilic Compost. This kind of compost takes advantage of thermophilic bacteria to quickly breakdown waste and turn it into nutritious black gold for your garden in just about 18 days or a little longer.
