Can we speed up the decomposition of wood chips and create compost faster? I am doing several trials to attempt to achieve this goal. The first trial begins in this video. Woodchips, blood meal, and sugar are layered into a drum. The wood chips were also inoculated with already decomposing wood chips. The drum will then sit. More blood meal will be added if needed. We will compare the results to a control drum and see how long it takes for the wood chips to break down.
