Another suggestion. If you are composting woody plants or tree
trimmings add some ammonium nitrate or urea fertilizer. The micro
organisms that break down this material take up a lot of nitrogen so if
you increase the available nitrogen you can speed up the process. Also,
if you mulch trees with wood chips it is a good idea to add these
compounds to the mulch because the organisms breaking down the wood
chips will take the nitrogen from the soil and tie it up robbing your
tree. You get it back eventually when the micro organisms themselves
decompose but in the mean time you will stunt your tree.

Hello TIM
You can accelerate by several biological methods
which are weel documented as report in TV GLOBO
excellent report and we have beeen studing simple
water extraction process as well as inoculam
recirculation process.
Full DETAIL WE CAN UPLOAD AND SENT FOR ANY ONE
Correct C/N from 10 t0 20 is needed for good
formentation and hence correct Moisture , animal
manuare content need to be carefully controlled to
have good fermentation degradation.
In ASIAN RURAL AREA GOOD COMPOST ARE ALWAYS MADE

Hello Robert,
I to have the same problem but I have more plant
material than animal manure to compost. I have two
springs and creeks on the property with good head
flow and have been pondering constructing
something of a grist mill to grind the corn stalks
etc prior to composting. Something similar may be
done with a windmill provided enough wind is
present. I may be wrong but I think it might work.
Labor intensive for loading and unloading but
better than what I am doing now.
Best Wishes,
Tim
That issue aside, I have put the stalks, cuttings
and other fibrous
material in a heap to decay. Aside from grinding
or shredding this
matter with a machine, is there anything I could
be doing to speed its
decomposition?
