compost

Compost: It all starts with the soil! Join us during International Compost Week to learn how to make nutrient dense compost for your farm.  We will break down sourcing materials, composting methods, and how to build and manage a small-scale compost system.

All Workshops include:

  • Introduction
  • Demo
  • Hands-on Time
  • Handout
  • Free Tour Voucher
FAQs:
How can I get a reduced ticket?

We offer reduced-cost tickets in exchange for 3 hours of workshare. Use the coupon code WORKSHARE to check out. All workshare hours must be completed a week prior to the workshop. If they are not, the ticket holder will be charged the remaining $75 for a full-cost ticket.

What should I bring?

A water bottle filled with water; sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat if it’s sunny or rain gear if it’s stormy; & a snack. UGC will provide all the tools you’ll need to work, but if you have a pair of work gloves, please bring them. Bring any medical device (inhaler, epi-pen, etc) you may need.

What should I wear?

Please wear closed-toe shoes, clothes that you don’t mind getting really dirty (pants and long-sleeved shirts are recommended), and bring an extra layer and rain gear–just in case. Please refrain from wearing perfumes/fragrances to protect our bees.
