I love the process of making a compost pile—tending to the microbes and letting them do their magic.

They take dead trees, animals, and rotting food waste as inputs and break them down into the essence of life on our planet: healthy soil.

Through impressive chemistry, they break complex chemical bonds in wood, fueled by nitrogen contained in animal tissues and the fruits of plants.

The end result is what we call compost. It holds the nutrients and energy for the next generation of plants and animals.

These essential nutrients are stabilized by bonding them to carbon and are finally stored back in the Earth.

Making compost is simple, but what is actually happening is highly complex—and has been evolving for billions of years.

Soil nurtures and connects all life on our planet. All life is made from the same basic materials, just mixed a little differently and arranged in unique forms of water.

Life on Earth is water put into motion by the light of our sun—at least, that’s one way to see it

Sorry but not sorry for getting poetic about composting 😄

Been a busy year moving, running businesses and being a dad but it’s time to dust off the microscope and get nerdy

Looking forward to sharing our compost and worm casting under the microscope. We have a quality camera attached so we will get so high definition shots of our microbes

It’s amazing to see the invisible world beneath our feet that is full of life

When we take care of the soil it takes care of us

New year and we found a new spot to start making compost!

Our goal is to make bio complete compost that is full of diverse soil organisms to help our gardens and farms thrive while also using food waste as a resource instead of a waste product

This new location will allow us to make better compost in a more controlled environment under a roof in the shade

Getting our moisture right and keeping our piles wet has always been a challenge out in the sun, looking forward to what is to come here!

Mahalo to everyone who has been supporting us and composting with Mana Microbes!

A lot more to come!

Happy Monday Maui — we’re out every week on Mondays collecting food scraps and making compost

We would love you to be a part of our mission to get compost to Maui farmers and gardeners

Every bucket collected helps close the loop, recycle nutrients back to the soil and relieves pressure from the ever growing central maui landfill

Food scraps should be returned to the soil not dumped in a landfill

Simple worm bin set up using a black and yellow totes are a great way to start vermicomposting in your backyard

We make a worm blanket using wet paper bags and a plastic garbage bag on the surface

This adds an extra insulation layer, protection from the light and reduces evaporation keeping high moisture at the surface where the worms will be feeding

This is just one of many ways to raise worms! They’re pets that eat your garbage and give you fertilizer

Mahalo wormies 🪱

Our hardworking worms are busy transforming leaves and food scraps into pure garden gold!

With help from powerful microbes, they blend the carbon from dry leaves and the nutrients from food waste into a rich, stable form that plants love.

This magic results in worm castings — aka worm p**p — packed with humic and fulvic acids that nourish your soil, boost plant health, and bring life back to the land.

Let the worms do the work. Your garden will thank you!
