Where This Started
If you've seen Groundswell — or Kiss the Ground, or Common Ground — you already felt it. The pull between watching something true and doing nothing about it. That gap is where Frank's Bio-Reactor Network was born.
Not in a lab. Not in a boardroom. In a backyard — by a homesteader who got tired of sending organic material to the municipality and decided to put it back in the ground instead.
If you haven't seen them yet
All three documentaries — Groundswell, Kiss the Ground, and Common Ground — are linked for you. Hit the button below and find them right at the top of the page. Watch even one and you'll understand exactly why this network exists — and why a bag of yard debris and organic matter in your backyard is more powerful than it sounds.
The science behind Frank is the Johnson-Su Bioreactor Method — developed by Dr. David Johnson and Hui-Chun Su — a passive, no-turning composting system that produces fungal-dominant compost proven to restore depleted soil. No electricity. No machinery. No complicated inputs.
You set it up. You let it sit. Frank does the work.
The Science Behind Frank
Frank is built on a proven scientific method — the Johnson-Su Bioreactor System — developed by Dr. David Johnson, molecular biologist and adjunct professor at California State University's Center for Regenerative Agriculture, and his wife Hui-Chun Su. Their research discovered something that changes everything: the ratio of fungi to bacteria in soil is the single strongest predictor of plant productivity and soil health.
Most soils today are bacteria-dominant — depleted, compacted, and struggling. Frank fixes that. He produces a fungal-dominant, microbially diverse compost that acts as a living inoculant — not a fertilizer, but a biological engine that restores what the soil has lost. Applied at just 2 lbs per acre, the finished compost can be diluted into an extract powerful enough to treat hundreds of acres of degraded land.
Here's what makes Frank different from every composting method you've ever tried:
Traditional composting requires constant turning, generates odor, attracts pests, and produces a bacterial-dominant end product that does little to restore long-term soil biology. It also can't handle large volumes of cardboard, yard debris, or dense organic matter without breaking down the fungal networks before they can form.
Frank requires no turning. Ever. Vertical aeration tubes do the work — drawing oxygen through the pile passively, creating the aerobic environment fungi need to thrive. He runs at 70% moisture, stays odor-free, never attracts flies, and processes large volumes of cardboard, yard debris, and organic matter that traditional methods simply can't handle. You fill him. You water him. Frank does the rest — for 9 months — while the biology builds itself from the inside out.
Frank the Tank hit 200°F at his core and held 150°F throughout. He's already shrunk by a third. Next to him is Henrietta — Frank's little sister, three-quarters filled, same method, same results. Two backyard bioreactors. No university grant. No pilot program. Just the science, applied — and it works.

Bio-Reactor Vessel
The same woven polypropylene sack used to haul bulk dirt, stone, and construction material. 35"×35"×55" — almost 5 feet tall. Rated to hold 3,000 lbs. Feed it all season long. Built for long term use and abuse — lifting loops included so we can haul it away when Frank is done.
5 Aeration Tubes
Kraft cardboard tubes, 3"×56" — almost 5 feet tall, pre-drilled for maximum airflow. Placed vertically inside the Bio-Reactor Vessel to create the oxygen channels that keep the pile aerobic and alive. Designed to break down inside the reactor. No removing necessary. That's part of the simplicity.
Chicken Jet Fuel
1 lb Chicken Jet Fuel — pulled straight from our deep litter system, aged the way only chickens can do it. That's why we call it jet fuel. The nitrogen activator that ignites the pile. Frank hit temperatures ranging to 200°F — he was cooking. This is why. Deep litter is a natural composting method where bedding and manure are layered and left to break down right in the coop — multiplying the nitrogen content compared to fresh chicken manure.
Living Mycelium Starter
¼ lb hand-harvested living mycelium starter — a mix of natural fungus harvested from fresh ground fallen trees, left to nature to build that base of life. Fungi break down what bacteria can't touch, bind soil, extend root systems, and move nutrients through the pile like an underground highway. Not filled yet? That's ok — place it along the outermost edge, finish with a brown layer and give it a good soak. When you come back to layer again, always start with brown not green, then keep going as normal.
Member ID Hang Card
Laminated 4"×6" card with your unique member ID, setup instructions, and network registration. Your card enrolls you in the referral program — for every new member that joins using your unique code, you earn. Simple.
Complete Starter Guide
Step-by-step guide, placement, watering schedule, and the full Johnson-Su science — written for real backyards. Download yours immediately after joining so you're ready before Frank arrives.
Composting alone is one person putting scraps in a container. As a network, it's a movement. One Frank at a time — until a million people hear us.

Month 1
Set Up Your Frank
Stand up the sack. Drop in the aeration tubes. Layer yard debris, organic matter, chicken jet fuel, and mycelium. Water it in. That's it. Frank takes it from here.
Good to Know
It's perfectly fine if it takes a few months to fill Frank up. Just keep layering and wetting as material becomes available. Frank is designed to handle large volumes of organic matter — the more you give him, the better he works. There's no rush. Nature doesn't have a schedule.
Months 2–8
Frank Heats Up
Biology activates. Temperatures rise. Organic matter breaks down into fungal-dominant compost. Check moisture weekly. Don't turn it. That's the method.
What about the weather?
Rain, snow, 100° summers, bitter cold — Frank doesn't care. He's designed to work with nature, not against it. The moisture from rain feeds the biology. The freeze-thaw cycle is part of the process. Whatever the season throws at him, Frank keeps working. That's the method.
Month 9
Frank's Ready
The reactor reaches maturity. At month 9, Frank is picked up directly from your property for processing, weighing, and carbon data collection. Every pound of organic matter diverted from a landfill is recorded. Every unit of carbon sequestered is measured. Your Frank becomes part of something bigger than your backyard.
Did You Know?
A 25 lb bag of premium compost — like FoxFarm Ocean Forest — retails for $18–$22 at your local garden center. Frank produces two of them, delivered straight to your door at month 10. That's $36–$44 worth of the most biologically active compost on earth — grown in your own backyard.
Renew or Exit
Renewal at $149 includes pickup. Choose the Home program for $69 with the Bio-Reactor Renewal Kit — refill your same reactor, no pickup needed. Or exit for $25. No pressure. The network grows either way.
Month 10 — Network Member Benefit
2 × 25 lb Bags of Frank's Bio-Reactor Compost Ship to Your Door
You get it back. Two 25 lb bags of Frank's Bio-Reactor Compost — from the first harvest — delivered to your door. The thing you built comes back to feed your soil. The rest is donated to regenerate farmland and restore depleted soil across the region. And as the network grows, so does the future revenue share program — feeding the network that helped create it. One Frank at a time — until we make a difference.
We've heard from folks who wanted in but were just too far for pickup.
Too Far for Pickup?
Not every backyard has a hub nearby yet. That doesn't mean you sit out the movement.
This is the exact same kit — vessel, aeration tubes, chicken jet fuel, mycelium starter, member ID, full guide. Use code HOMEKIT at checkout to register as a no-pickup Home member — $99 shipped. No pickup. No compost shipped back to you at month 10. You keep everything Frank produces, right there in your own backyard.
What We Ask in Return
One photo a month, for 9 months, posted in Frank's Bio-Reactor Network private Facebook group — where members share updates, photos, and progress on their reactors. Just Frank's progress, start to finish. At month 9, tell us how many 5-gallon buckets of finished compost you pulled out. That's it. Your numbers join the network total — every bucket counted, every pound of organic matter diverted, adding up to something bigger than any one backyard.
Full member ID. Full network registration. Full referral program — your code earns the same $5 per kit sold, same as every other member. The only difference is pickup and the compost return. Everything else about being part of the network is identical.
Same science. Same Frank. Just no truck involved.
Have Your Own Cause?
Have your own small homestead or hobby farm? Tell us how many buckets Frank donated to your cause. Just because he can't donate to farmland here in NJ doesn't mean you can't put what you've created to work close to home.
