So, my family composts.... but we do a poor job of it. We rarely turn the compost or water it. We just add compost-able materials and hope everything works out. What we end up with is what you see below (questionable-quality compost at the bottom and rubbish/leaves at the top)

There is a science to composting, and I'm hoping to use sensors to measure gas output, temperature, moisture of the compost. This information would then be used to make recommendations (more brown, less green, more water, turn, etc). I ordered a bunch sensors from Amazon; so I hope to have a very high-level prototype in the next 1-2 weeks.
