I've been working on both small and medium scale compost systems in Africa, USA, Latin America, and Asia since 2006.

This is a trial begun May 2023 to determine to what extent I can add sargassum to the current compost system I had at my home in Santo Domingo. I found composting sargassum alone (w/o mixing into my food waste wasn't breaking down). I the began adding it to my regular compost and it broke down in 4-6 weeks along with the food waste.

This was a method for composting I used while living in group housing in Washington DC from 2009 to 2012. Funniest thing someone said was, "you can't keep worms outside in DC, they'll freeze". To which I replied, "they live outside". In all fairness, they do need to be shielded from open freezing temperatures which can freeze and kill them.
