Thanks Jack and Anne, so without worms should work as well!

What about the materials, can I use animal manure (mostly sheep and goat) for this compost together with wheat and barley straw and if so, what would you recommend as a ratio? Thanks a lot

(Also, thank you Anne I will look at the trash can method as well).

Hey guys,

I am new here but saw that many people here seem to have lots of experience with composting, so here is my question:

I am introducing composting at my new place of living (semi-desert), which is a lot dryer than other places. We try to build up a Johnson Su Bioreactor, however I have the following problems:

1) there aren't many worms here. Is it possible to do a Johnson Su Bioreactor without adding additional worms to it?
2) there is not much forest and vegetables residues around here, which is used in all the videos I watched for the Johnson Su bioreactor. But we have plenty of animal manure and wheat and barley straw, you guys think the Johnson Su bioreactor will also work if these things are my primary resources added?

Thanks a lot for your advise, much appreciated. Since its a one year process, I want to make sure to get things right in the beginning.
