This was a nifty little example of really low maintenance composting at RDIC. You just have your compost "pile" in between your rows of crops and throw on weeds, dirt, and poop as you have time. I do have a few questions about this though; does the composting get particularly hot? it is pretty close to the plants, and temperatures that are too high can be detrimental to plants. If it does not get particularly hot (and it looked like it was pretty loosely maintained and aired out pretty well) does it kill much of the weeds/seeds that are in there (via manure or weeds)? Either way I am sure something is better than nothing.
