About the event
A Hands-On Workshop & Home-System Giveaway
Urban environments present unique challenges for composting, but they also offer our greatest opportunity for nutrient recovery. In this intensive, practical session, we bridge the gap between "throwing things away" and building a closed-loop food system right in your own backyard or balcony.
What We Will Cover:
The Logistics of Diversion: Practical strategies for collecting and storing food scraps in urban homes without the mess or the smell.
Nutrient Recovery Science: Understanding the decomposition process and how to maximize the quality of the compost you produce.
Collection to Creation: A step-by-step guide to urban composting techniques—from bokashi and vermicomposting to small-scale aerobic bins.
