Yes. We are working with Merry Bradley at Grass Roots Garden to document
this. Some very interesting publications will come from that work.

But, yes, given long enough, stinky stuff can be turned back into good stuff.
 It will never have the same level of fertility that it once could of have,
since in going anaerobic, N, S, and P were likely lost through volatilization.
The rather nasty organic acids t hat were made, and the low pH produced, can
be resuscitated.

Come take the Soil Biology and Chemistry course SFI will offer in June -
coming up soon, and only a few spaces left in the class. But we go over that
whole set of concepts, and how to fix problems like that.

turn out." -- Vaclav Havel, former President of the Czech Republic
