    Nitrogen is very important to soil. The peels turned in to very rich compost. It's not that hard to figure out. Yes covering up the grass choked it out. While the native plants could grow in the rich soil.

    I never throw away paper products unless they are infused with plastic. I shred every piece of paper products, and mix them with last nights non meat waste food in a compost bin, come spring time I’ve got lots of perfectly NPK balanced natural fertilizer, oh yea, and thousands of red wiggler worms for fishing bait.
    When I first started 15 years ago I bought worms to start my compost bin, but then I found out that worms will find your compost pile, all you have to do is start it.
    Mine is on my patio, it makes it very convenient, and easy to tend,(ha)! Except for throwing in more food waste, and shredded paper, I don’t touch it until it’s time to start a new one.

      The Costa Rica example isn't the same as grounds. You probably have good soil, but you might want to read the studies about coffee grounds. The consensus is that fresh grounds can inhibit growth (slightly), but composted grounds (or grounds that have been on the ground for a year or longer) are an excellent mulch.

    The main problem with deforestation in tropical rainforest regions is how thin the fertile topsoil layer is: The trees growing in these forests typically have "buttress style" roots, which spread out from the trunk at a shallow angle with respect to the horizontal. They do not penetrate much more than half a metre under the ground, with the vast majority of nutrient-absorbing root surface area less than a quarter of a metre under the surface. This is because the most fertile topsoil layer does not go much deeper than that. This is compared to topsoil in temperate and sub-tropical regions, which is usually at least twice as deep, if not more.
    Also, the integrity of the shallow tropical topsoil is somewhat fragile, relying on the network of roots from trees and other plants to hold it in place. Much like how riverbank grasses (such as vetiver grass) and reeds with deep roots help to stabilise river banks. When an area of rainforest is clear-cut, the roots eventually rot away, allowing erosion by wind and water to remove the topsoil. This does not happen immediately, so farmers may get a few years of crop growth from the land before the topsoil is depleted. Once this happens, the rate of plant growth in the region will be massively reduced, as will the variety of plants which can even grow there at all.
    This is because the fertility of the soil layers underneath the shallow topsoil layer is almost negligible. The invasive grasses are on a short list of plants that can grow at all on such poor soils. So yes, the theory that the grasses crowd out tree saplings may be partially correct - but even if those grasses were not there, the tree saplings would not survive for long anyway. The reason they even germinate at all is most likely because they are using nutrients from the seed or nut they grow from - but once that is all gone, they have to rely upon whatever the roots can absorb, which is almost nothing. The grasses can grow only because they have such extensive root systems, so are able to make maximum use of the low concentrations of nutrients in the poor soils.

    I once owned a small ranch property in Southern Oregon.
    The soil around the then new home, was largely clay.
    I began to apply a variety of quality wood chips, as a top dressing to the clay.
    Year after year, I continued to reapply the chips.
    As time passed by, the clay began to transition into a much nicer texture of soil.
    I also noticed a large increase in the quantity of earthworms.
    Those earthworm’s were helping to greatly improve the soil, as they tunneled and eliminated castings throughout the soil profile.
    If you have an increasing population of worms, your soil should be improving.

    It is called compost. While soil may have a higher pH, some plants thrive in slightly acidic soil. Additionally, incinerating plastics in a low-oxygen environment can produce a great compost. Furthermore, releasing carbon dioxide under plants allows their roots to absorb macro nutrients more effectively increase more output.

    There is an insecticide used for termites made from orange oil/extract. The companies that do this advertise that it is safe, non-toxic and extremely effective against termites and certain other organisms. However, not on their website is information that orange oil is extremely flammable, and that the use of this method of termite extermination puts families at risk. I don't know how real this is, as I have never heard of houses burning down because they sprayed for termites. But the use of orange extracts as a fuel source for any numbers of applications seems to be an interesting thing to consider, along with other biodegradable waste. Back in the day, fuel for lanterns and stoves were many, including whale oil, olive oil, and many that I don't even know. Unfortunately, with the ban on burning wood and gas due to environmental damage, we may have to wait a long time before we fully access the potential of waste products for heat and electricity. It seems that the decomposition of organic waste would be enough to provide heat/electricity to major areas. Perhaps I am wrong. Even landfills make heat in the decomposition of the dumped materials.

      Bugs dont crap seeds, they eat them. They are completly digesting the seeds unlike birds who actually help spreading seeds. I think you confused them with pollen?
