I wanted to start a thread on different things I know to do as far as plant and animal husbandry but I don't know why it works.

Things that aren't easy to solve by Googling.

The first one I wanted to start with was why does adding a strong nitrogen source like blood meal cause woody plant debris that wasn't composting to do so?
