How to Build a Johnson- Su Composting Bioreactor

Join us in the garden with special guest Mary Bruce from UF/IFAS and our team of garden volunteers as we become one of the first community gardens in the Tampa Bay Area to build a Johnson-Su Bioreactor.

Dr. David C. Johnson, molecular biologist and research scientist at the University of New Mexico, has developed a system that brings lifeless soils back to life by reintroducing beneficial microorganisms to the soil with biologically enhanced compost.

In just 9 months, the Johnson-Su composting method creates compost teeming with microorganisms that improve soil health and plant growth and increase the soil's potential to sequester carbon. This simple composting method produces a biologically enhanced compost by creating an environment where beneficial soil microorganisms thrive and multiply. When this biologically alive compost is applied to the soil, the microorganisms inoculate the soil and work in harmony with growing plants to improve soil health and increase the amount of carbon drawn out of the atmosphere and into the soil.
