ADVANCED CERTIFIED COMPOSTER TRAINING
This is a FULL DAY of training! Pre-requisite: Complete both the Backyard Composter and Vermi-Composter Classes
You’ll learn additional compost strategies, and how you can apply these to assist residents, businesses, schools, dog mushers, food services, farmers, stable managers, and organizations to develop scaled-up compost operations. Share your enthusiasm and help get others started composting.
We’ll review basics and then discover how to:
- Blend and compost a wider variety of feedstocks for proper Carbon & Nitrogen ratios
- Manage and trouble-shoot piles for moisture, temperature, aeration, & odor
- Process larger volumes of compost with static & thermal pile methods.
Successful students will receive an Advanced Certificate and be eligible to teach compost classes next summer.
