@NightsWatch I dont think @Homesteader is considering using cooking soil to supply his co2 his thread is just an observation of the biosynthesis of the co2 output in relation to his soil cooking. I could be wrong tho. Please set me straight @HomesteaderWay to much fucking around to achieve any good c02 for plant growth. you need to factor in lots of stuff alt , barometric pressures , temps etc RH
Why not just buy a bottle and be done with it or put in 1- 2000 liter Vat and start making wine or beer :) in your grow room ..
You here people talk about thermol energy could only imagine how much of a pile one would need to maintain 80 degrees in a house with a shit pile.
Most thermal i have read is there drilling 300 feet into the ground where its more stable in temp variations ,, a shit pile is not going to be stable one bit.
that is just wasted money might as well make a Diy Boiler to heat up what ever
I have made some pretty hot soil mixes and i think the hottest i got it up to was 60 anything hotter were defeating the purpose as micrbioligical life DIE
So your damned if you do and damned if you don't ;)
A well-designed indoor compost system, >10 gallons in volume, will heat up to 40-50°C in two to three days. Soda bottle bioreactors, because they are so small, are more likely to peak at temperatures of 30-40°C. At the other end of the range, commercial or municipal scale compost systems may take three to five days to heat up and reach temperatures of 60-70°C. Compost managers strive to keep the compost below about 65°C because hotter temperatures cause the beneficial microbes to die off. If the pile gets too hot, turning or aerating will help to dissipate the heat.
I have used my soil mix from four months ago to achieve 1000-1500ppm (while plants are in the room breathing). I already own a tank. I own a regulator.......Why would I buy gas if my soil supplies it?Way to much fucking around to achieve any good c02 for plant growth. you need to factor in lots of stuff alt , barometric pressures , temps etc RH
Why not just buy a bottle and be done with it
Sure am....Kinda.....The N cycle is much faster in this case. The soybean takes a few weeks in my mix to break down. But after a few weeks it is good to go. I don't really use much compost in my mix. bone char and soybean is the majority.@NightsWatch I dont think @Homesteader is considering using cooking soil to supply his co2 his thread is just an observation of the biosynthesis of the co2 output in relation to his soil cooking.

The webinar that I posted is from the owner of Solvita.....Great link @Bulldog420 this is right up my alley.
78 degrees and moist....how hard is that? Less BS than filling a tank.Way to much fucking around to achieve any good c02 for plant growth. you need to factor in lots of stuff alt , barometric pressures , temps etc RH

This is the carbon cycle! When plants breathe in CO2 they use it to build structure combined with light energy. As these structures are broken down by microbiology, nutrients are seperated from CO2 and immobilized in the microbes while the energy used to make the now digest compound is released in the form of thermal energy.
Now get a thermal transfer coil to put in your compost pile to extract the heat for hot water or area heating. We are going to try a year around light dep in a Walapini heated with compost.
ever the case, with over 40K academic papers discussing a limited topic, say anti oxidants released in the last year alone, its overwhelming, esp given at a recent convention on said AO's it was agreed the major movers and shakers have no idea, or at least consensus on what they are, what the exact value is, where if ever they are toxic, if we should be supplementing and so on. Isnt it odd how we have to be told to do what other so called simpler organisms can handle instinctively, eg balance our nutrition, or cycles?Did I hear someone say carbon cycle...?
@Homesteader I am very glad you decided to open this discussion up with the rest of the forum. The whole thing is pretty wild and we're still learning so much.
@Ecompost Not sur eif you had a chance to listen to this but it is a wealth of info from Dr Will Brinton. A MAINER at that! I believe he is the owner of Solvita with Dr Rick Haney.
we have been using solvita products for as long as the company has been around buddy, they are good people and the knowledge they have is extremely useful. The haney soil test is where its at for me@Ecompost Not sur eif you had a chance to listen to this but it is a wealth of info from Dr Will Brinton. A MAINER at that!

14:18 EXPLAINS MY SOIL 100% and why it wasn't just decomposition. Sorry I didnt pickup on that earlier.
