So, why are you wanting to can the compost? Medieval compost was a 
pickled food item and the reason for this was to preserve the 
vegetables and fruits. So, why can't you do it the same way?

Perhaps some of the comments from others who have made this, and 
various period recipes, might give you a head start.
