Instructor: Kaesha Neil
Starting with a look at what makes healthy soil, this class will give you a basic understanding of what happens when materials are composted, the different methods of composting, what can be composted, and the right method of composting for you, whether you want a worm farm (vermicomposting), a bin, or a way to compost all of your organic waste, including animal products, fats/oils, and animal manure. This class is for both beginning composters and those who want to advance their methods!
