\u2022 Practice hands-on composting at the community scale, <\/span>
\n\u2022 Learn how to perform bulk density and porosity tests of compost piles,<\/span>
\n\u2022 Be exposed to different options for community composting site organizing and set up,<\/span>
\n\u2022 See and discuss tools and equipment,<\/span>
\n\u2022 Grasp and\/or review the basics of composting, and<\/span>

Select one among the following three groups for the morning activity:<\/span><\/p>\n

Compost Promenade<\/b>: Will practice using 15 micro composting devices (including backyard systems), learn composting 101, and community composting organizing and set ups. Focus will primarily be on mesophilic techniques and routines.<\/span><\/p>\n

Compostaje en la granja<\/b>: Will build a 2 cubic yard batch using inputs from animals, food and farm generated greens and browns. Will cover entry to thermophilic composting and techniques for incorporating tricky materials such as invasive plants, weed seeds, and animal manures to meet PFRP (process to further reduce pathogens).<\/span><\/p>\n

Aerated Static Piles<\/b>: Will create a batch using this mid-scale system that utilizes timers and blowers. ASPs do not need to be turned for 2 to 4 weeks.<\/span><\/p>\n
