Intro to Composting (cold composting, worm farms, bokashi)

Composting at Home, with Shani Shafrir

Have you thought about composting at home, but are not sure where to start? 

Composting our organic waste is a great way to reduce our footprint, and in turn, get a super nutritious feed for our plants. In this workshop, Shani will guide us through the most common home composting systems and how to keep them in balance.

You'll learn about:

• Different options for composting at home: cold composting, worm farms and bokashi bins
• The advantages and limitations of each composting system
• How to set up and maintain a cold compost or worm farm
• What foods and organic waste can go into each system
• How to balance you waste inputs to get healthy compost
