Soil

i was cooking soil and it went anaerobic. Ive spread it out on a tarp now. How do i know when its gone back aerobic? Just from smell?

is there a somewhat similar plant to herb i can grow in it to test it?

How much time do you have invested? Perhaps you could just add more browns like in a compost setup?

As if! said:

I just did the same thing, only to my top dress, not soil. It smells like ammonia. I dunno how long it takes, but I heard to add beneficials and the smell will go away and it'll be good again. I'm not sure how true that is though.
