Transcripción
Kai begins with the dry material. He places the old tomato stems and fallen leaves loosely into Prop 01 — compost box instead of compacting them. The box is only partly filled. Nothing dramatic happens. A useful process begins with an ordinary act.

Kai places dry tomato stems and fallen leaves into the open wooden compost box, beginning its first layer.
Acerca de este capítulo
Kai begins collecting fallen leaves, spent stems, and kitchen scraps in a simple compost box. At first the pile looks like a container for things that are finished. Over time, he sees heat, fungi, insects, and decomposition turn the discarded material into dark compost. When he feeds that compost back into the same flower beds, Kai realizes the garden does not divide the world neatly into useful and useless, living and dead. It keeps changing one into the other. The lesson is simple: an ending does not erase value, and worth is not the same thing as productivity.
