Helen Krayenhoff’s article, “The Dish on Dairy Dirt: Ruminations on composted manure” gives great insight on the composting world and also includes an awesome section on Malibu Compost.

The fresh manure pile is amended with small, concentrated amounts of six herbs: yarrow, chamomile, nettle, oak bark, dandelion, and valerian, which are gathered before they go to seed and pre-composted for a year.
