How Americans pronounce “compost” is highly ammusing to the ears of the rest of the English speaking world.

Is this purely a Southern dialect thing or common throughout the USA?

i used to focus on hot compost. but i have learned that a cool compost is better and get better results. two reasons:

1. since it’s cool, you get a greater diversity of microbes, not just the ones that are responsible for the heat. many beneficial microbes in the soil will die in high temperatures.

2. cool compost that is rotting allows worms to enter from the start. worms won’t go near a hot pile of compost.

the disadvantage is that you need to be more patient. i think it’s worth it.
