Composting Practice

Turn kitchen scraps, yard waste and manure into rich soil in weeks, not years.

Turn kitchen scraps, yard waste and manure into rich soil in weeks, not years. We build hot compost piles together, check temperatures, turn and troubleshoot, and compare methods: hot piles, worm bins, bokashi and black soldier fly. You’ll leave with a simple routine that fits a tropical homestead and keeps pests and smells away.

What to bring

  • Work gloves, closed-toe boots and long pants
  • Sun hat, sunscreen, insect repellent and a refillable water bottle
  • A notebook β€” and questions about your own land
