The soil is our mother, everything we are, everything we ever will be is predicated on what we eat.
 
Yet in many instances, urban communities have lost their connection to the soil as their food producer.
 

​Returning Organics to Soil (ROTS) is all about addressing that loss of connection and how we might rebuild it through the use of our organic waste as high quality inputs into soils.
 
ROTS is about connecting people with like values and exchanging information under open sourced and Creative Commons processes where a genuine free exchange can occur to help build common knowledge on solutions.

 Compost work with the Greater Good project in Samoa

Nappies constitute around 27% of the total waste stream in Samoa. To reduce microplastic contamination in the local environment, the Greater Good Project is using the SPICE compost process in Maye Bruce boxes constructed from recycled wood transportation pallets, to compost nappies in combination with grass to make a high quality compost. Washable nappies are not viable due to a lack of reliable energy and water supplies in indigenous villages. The compost process offers an opportunity to capture faeces and urine in nappies as an asset rather than disposing of it to the environment. The high temperature in the compost process which is neither turned nor aerated provides a safe process for local compost production.
​It is hoped to spread this simple process to other Pacific Nations - safe, effective composting with little mechanical input.
