C2 compost is only part of the equation, and in actuality the product that I envision, is more complex and does get mixed with compost, where needed. I did not mention bogs and marshes and other refuse congregations aging over time rich in nutrients.

mature compost is acidic - high PH (6 to 8) also depends what type and I will not go into details. Therefore composting acidic soil will not give the expected results related to certain plants who like more alkali soil.

The rhizome-sphere is composed of hundreds if not more type of creatures, that I mentioned before some prosper in acidic soil other in neutral soil others in alkali soils. The list is too long to go into details, but for example lumber mills and paper mills generate huge amounts of woody waste very rich in micro-nutrients, same row crops which in most cases are buried or burned for heat.

Using waste from farm animal husbandry as fertilizer, was a practice used several generation ago by farmers, and there was an lively trade in the stinky stuff. Not to mention that is was also used as building material when mixed with clay.
