My opinion when it comes to carbon sources is use what you have. Cheap sources are good, free sources are even better! Just remember, how much nitrogen you put in will dictate how fast your carbon breaks down. Personally, I like a good mix. This supports microbial and invertebrate diversity, and covers all your bases. Typically my garden has spent rabbit manure and urine/manure soaked pine shavings (with smaller amounts of decomposed feed, hay,, sticks etc.) added first. I will often mix composted kitchen waste and any other source of nutrients I have in at this time. Then my carbon layer goes on top. Its main purpose is to preserve water, shade roots, and to feed insect, fungi, and microbes.
Nice video! I like seeing a variety of videos, I hope to see your channel keep growing.
Thanks!
I look forward to the video about using the rabbit manure. I have a limited amount of manure and lots and lots of garden, fruit trees and berries.
