A comprehensive 2 day course on composting. We go over the basics of composting for micro, mini, medium, large, and commercial-scale composting. We talk about the materials, tools, space, time, and effort necessary for making a compost pile. Together as a class, we build a hot compost pile, and 4 months later, anyone is welcome to come get a couple buckets of the finished compost to use in their finished garden.
We make our own compost on site and it has 100% ground contact with our native soil, so it’s automatically inoculated with local spores and other forms of native microbial life.
The bulk ingredients may include municipal leaf mold, alpaca manure, horse manure, grass clippings from mowing, Bocking 14 comfrey grown onsite, biochar, and organic kelp meal.
We explain the benefits and disadvantages of warm and hot composting and why someone would want to use one over the other.
