I'd recommend (a bit aside) something on fermentation, if you're not already into it. Like The art of fermentation from Sandor Katz. But that's something else you've been asking for.

I love fermented foods. Learning fermentation could help my composting journey too
Thanks for the suggestion.
It absolutely opened my eyes. From raising dough for sweet buns or sourbread to preserving food or making some for basically free (like apple vinegar or sour milk), fermentation is powerful tool.
cough, tabacco, cough
Are you suggesting I ferment tobacco?
well, I don't have any other usage of that plant if not fermented...
Interesting, what do I do with it? Put it in my lip like chew? Use it in the garden?
I'd suggest to smoke it as all we smokers do. but hey, feel free to experiment 🤣
I didn't know it was fermented to smoke. I was just picturing a wet salt water ferment
Here is an article I just read to get the basics
I did my own cabinet for fun, but it was too small so I could make like... nothing. wasn't bad, but professional equiptment makes whole lot different results. so I gave up. (and had the plants just for decoration. until they died)
as with any fermentation it was a lot of trial and error. it was fun!
When I was active in a pipe club, several guys tried to make their own tobacco or even roll cigars. The main lesson I took from their bitching was that it's such a hassle it's not worth it😅
