Composting for Carbon Dioxide in GH?
Default Composting for Carbon Dioxide in GH?

I got started with my new GH last year. After reading Shane Smith's book, Greenhouse Gardener's Companion, I learned that in the winter when there is little fresh air flowing into the greenhouse, that the available Carbon Dioxide levels can be drastically reduced, and that the plants will not grow as well. The book suggests composting in the GH, which should emit CO2.

I went all out with composting - I had 2 open buckets of kitchen scraps, a worm factory compost bin, and I even started a dog poop worm compost bin (which didn't last). Then I noticed that I was getting Bud Blast in several of my Catt's. Could it be my composting causing the bud blast? I was also letting the temps get low at night. Being new to GH growing, I'm not sure which factors to look at. Now that it's getting to be winter again, I'm trying to determine whether I should start composting again in the GH. Would love any advice!

Thanks,
Jean
