Want healthier soil, better-tasting food, compost that actually works, AND stop buying fertilizer?
In this powerful session, Stewart Lundy breaks down how to build fertility without relying on synthetic inputs — using biodynamic composting.
This isn’t theory.
👉 It’s a system that creates living soil, stronger crops, and long-term resilience.
⚡ JUMP TO WHAT YOU NEED
00:00 Why biodynamic compost is different
11:45 The secret ingredient biodynamics adds
13:20 Faster heating, less smell, more nitrogen
15:15 Can compost become medicine?
16:20 Best compost temperature
20:20 Why Stewart uses the Johnson-Su Bioreactor
27:00 Building the perfect compost mix
30:40 Biodynamic preparations explained simply
47:20 Biggest compost mistakes
58:30 Can't get biodynamic preps? Do this instead
1:02:15 Stewart's biggest surprise after years of composting
🌱 WHAT YOU'LL LEARN
• How biodynamic compost turns waste into high-value fertility
• Why your compost may be losing nutrients (and how to fix it)
• How to stabilize nitrogen and reduce losses
• The ideal compost temperature (and why hotter isn’t better)
• How to build compost that doesn’t smell, collapse, or go anaerobic
• The Johnson-Su method for consistent, high-quality compost
• How to use herbs + biology to increase nutritional value of crops
⚡ WHY THIS MATTERS NOW
With rising input costs and supply chain instability:
❌ Fertilizer-dependent systems are fragile
✅ Biological systems are resilient
👉 Compost isn’t just waste management — it’s farm independence
🌿 PRO INSIGHTS
👉 “If your compost smells bad… your plants will too.”
And that attracts pests.
Healthy compost = healthy plants = fewer problems.
