Making Compost: The Soil Foodweb Method!

The difference between dirt and soil is that soil is alive with microbes! In this hands-on skill share, Dan & Mike will teach us how to assemble a new compost pile with enough microbes to bring dirt back to life!

Dan Waters has been a student of the Soil Foodweb school since Jan of 2023 and has made a dozen or more compost piles using this method.

Mike Shaw spent the last 19 years applying a chemical approach to professional lawn care, and after starting the Soil Foodweb school, he now thinks it is time to let biology have a try!

This is a hands-on learning and work day! Wear weather appropriate clothing, work shoes, and work gloves. Be prepared to get dirty! We always encourage ride sharing, but there is room for about 10-15 cars to park. If this is your first event, please DM Co-Organizer Hillary Miles to introduce yourself :)
