About the Event
About the workshop
Compost is the result of a process of controlling decomposition of biological material. In the forests around us, this process is always happening, magically under our feet. We can mimic this process in our homes, gardens, and farms in order to eliminate waste in the landfill and the associated pollution of our land and water. You get the added benefit of your own free source of organic fertilizer to improve the health of your soil and to grow more nutrient-dense food.
In this workshop, learn about the decomposition process that's happening all around us and understand the basics for creating compost in your own home or garden. We'll explore various composting systems like the 3-bin composting system, humanure composting, vermicomposting (composting with worms), windrow composting, and brewing compost teas. Learn which system is best for you, plus tools and resources for how to build and maintain it.…
