Soil Food Web Compost Workshop with Alter Eco Farms

Investing in compost will pay dividends!

Soil life makes soil nutrients plant available - thereby making microbially complete compost is the key to reducing-off site inputs on your farm and market garden. Your gardens' crops and farms' meats are more nutrutitious; Compost teas from microbially complete compost create biofilms which protect crops from disease; Increased photosynthetic capacity as a result of soil biology creates plants that are so healthy they are undigestibale to pest; AND best of all you dont need a HAZMAT suit at any point to apply compost or compost teas.

Join us for a three-hour workshop to learn about all things compost. We will discuss the different types of compost and how they work, helping you decide what option is best for you. Then, we will get our hands VERY dirty with a demonstration of thermophilic composting to create biologically rich compost. If you’ve been dying to learn how to make that magical microorganism packed compost, this workshop is for you!

This workshop will be held outside and generally requires physical labor. If your physical mobility is limited, please just let us know ahead of time and we can modify your experience to fit your needs.

You will get DIRTY. Wear closed toed shoes. Bring your own gloves.

**Space is limited to 15
