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

You appeared not to have read closely enough. What does **comosted** mean -
that is what you wrote. I'm fairly certain I know what composted means.
Since you felt obligated to call me out on a technicality, I felt obliged to
do the same.

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.

news 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.
