Interesting! Direct burial works fast for sure, but heap gives you usable compost you can measure. Did you compare soil health results between both methods?

No its just easier, more direct and natural.
Worms will follow around the deposits of compostable material and work it into the soil for you.
You can target where you want the soil enriched.
Dig in the scraps and then plant over the top a few weeks later.

Nice! So direct burial is like free worm labor. Less work, no turning pile. Makes sense for small gardens.
