Ruud Kleinpaste: The compost gardeners science quiz

I've always thought about creating the Greatest Hits (or Greatest Myths) for gardeners. There are so many things you should and shouldn't do when gardening and creating compost.  Starting a compost system: Do we really need a “Compost Starter” to kick it off?  The easiest way to make compost is by sticking (roughly) to a ratio of Carbon to Nitrogen of something like 30:1. If you chuck a big heap of chipped wood (C) in the bin, you will need some grass clippings (N) to fire it all off. Even a simple pee on the heap will do the trick, or some Urea fertiliser, or even some old soggy lettuce.  Crushed egg shells around your vegetables are said to stop the slugs and snails as they won't be able to cross the sharp egg-edges with their soft and tender “foot”. Molluscs do not actually come in contact with the sharp substrate as they glide over the slime they produce themselves!  And if you put the crushed shells into the compost bin, the calcium will eventually turn into useful calcium – eventually means “a few years later at least”, so don't bank on a quick-release fertiliser!  Besides: they don't really add a lot of value to your compost.  Ah! To speed up composting waste material, do we need to turn the heap every now and then?  Good question! Aeration will indeed help the process a bit… but so do mice and rats digging tunnels for their nests. Perhaps the question should be: how much time do you, personally, have to “turn” the compost? Every 3 or 4 weeks.  Cooked food in the compost bin?   Why not? It's basically the same as un-cooked food, so why chuck it in the rubbish bin?  Dead Animals or left-over meat in the compost bin?  Everything that once lived is compostable – simple as that. Animals and old meat will take longer and it might start to smell somewhat, but it certainly will compost.  Can weeds be composted?  Of course! Weeds are simply plants too and when you pull them out, they will decay and form compost, just like any other organism, but should you?  That depends on the kind of weed it is and if it has set seeds or survives on a vigorous root-system.  How fast can you make compost?  Depends on what you make it from; You'll need C and N plus support from fungal organisms and microbial life-forms. In general, it'll go quicker when you are in a warm part of the world and slower in a cool area.  Here's another bit of science: a compost tumbler is usually quite a bit smaller than a wooden compost bin, sitting on the soil. That means the tumbler won't heat up as much (or at all!) as the larger bin and that may slow the process down – but it certainly will work albeit not so fast.  What can we Learn FROM Nature making its own compost?  Leaves fall down; twigs and sticks break off and join the leaves. Fruit and seeds join the party and every now and then a big branch with deliver a lot of Carbon.  “Recycling insects” and Microbes help the compost process out; worms transport the end-product to deeper layers in the soil where it's needed by the roots… and it just carries on in its own tempo…  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

THIS WEEK - Atheist Woo? Do non-theists believe their own sets of weird things? The Herd says "yes," but you don't have to take our word on faith; just listen. First of all: Does Evil exist? Chappy falls into Ex's evil trap. SI says it's just an adjective, but Evo isn't willing to go even that far. Wasn't Hitler evil? Find out why Evo would answer "no". How do conspiracy theories fit into our question? Are some conspiracies worth being agnostic about, while others are clearly fantastic? We learn from Chappy why people might either believe in a god, or some other form of woo - but not both. What is it about the human mind that makes even us rationalists seem to need some sort of woo? Ex tries to put words in SI's mouth, but SI spits them up and demands a break. SI believes that we're hardwired to believe something. Was he the subject of an anal probe? Ex hears many faith-based statements - and not necessarily the ones that mention "faith" or "God" - at the political conventions. Chappy sees that kind of "faith" as just wanting to be with the winning team. One of us fulminates about the irrationality of sports fans. [Hint: It's not Philly.] Does Jesus have anything on Roger Maris? Ex reveals that we had no correct answers to Another Goddamned Puzzle. Evo says there was a similarly empty email bag on the Science Quiz. Even the poll results were closer than normal. SI thanks god for sunshine, while Evo thanks a listener for a plug. Only one of them gets a "you're welcome," though. Can you guess which one it is?

THIS WEEK - Angry Atheists We welcome Chappy back, and then immediately attack her. Why? Well, she's been on the warpath lately and we'd like to know what she's so angry about. It turns out that OG and SI are mad about the very same thing. The other three of us may be even more furious, but for different reasons. Philly and Evo articulate theirs. Listeners are urged to form a circle and join hands. Ex, great sage that he is, tells us all why we're really pissed off, and we see that there are "three flavors of our discontent." OK, so how do we deal with our anger? Does our rage make us "strike out" at religionists, both in the blogosphere and in real life? Urging calm, some members of the Herd argue that we should remain logical. Philly makes an insightful point about theist arguments, which leads us to discuss the role of education in deconversion. Higher education is our continued focus, and we find out how it freed OG. Can it work that way on others? Ex remains rankled. Does religion require ignorance of worldly knowledge? Evo points out that there's probably nothing more worldly for a theist to do than ... what? Another Goddamned Puzzle is solved, but Venjanz needs a shave. Sean sends an audio file, complete with gratuituous wisecracks. In our new poser: No man is an island, but someone gets stuck on one. Evo offers a little Science Quiz, for which fantastic prizes will be awarded! (Well, our definition of "fantastic" might be a little different than yours.) Philly explains how Scientology is like the Mafia. Finally, we award a mini-medal of honor - to one of our own listeners. Find out what she did to earn it.
