Compost Maintenance (bin-deconstruction, building, and dispersing)

Composting is one of the most important practices for learning how to create a closed-loop system, teaching us to rethink the term ‘waste.’ Learn how to manage and maintain a seasonal compost, including techniques and methods (windrows, bins, tumblers, worms), materials used (carbon, nitrogen), resourcefulness (sourcing materials), and how to identify when your compost needs some extra assistance (additions, temperature monitoring, aeration, turning). How insects, worms, microbes, and bacteria aid in this process will be covered as well. Lastly, we will be getting dirty, so please dress appropriately. All materials provided.
