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.
