Composted means the symplast has died and the wood has begun to break down.

Beware of so-called tree experts who do not understand tree biology.
Storms, fires, floods, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions keep reminding us
that we are not the boss.

Calcium is an element not a nutrient. Comosted wood and nurse logs add
calcium, the element.

I'll have to remember that, although you'll also have to explain what
comosted means - since you chose to get technical. Might as well go all
out and learn all I can.

Any reason why joint compound can't be worked into the soil to add in
nutrients, like calcium, or as a way to control the ph of the soil? I
have about 3 lbs of the stuff from a previous drywall project and didn't
want to toss it out, when I could toss it on the compost pile or toss it
in the dirt to break down.
