Pierce County On-Farm Composting Short Course

This two-day short course for farmers will focus on increasing your knowledge and skills around on-farm composting. The course will include hands-on exercises in compost recipe formulation, feedstock assessment, and construction of aerobic and properly wetted compost piles, including offal composting. End use of compost products to improve production and soil health on-farm, best practices to protect water quality, and regulations and certification considerations will also be covered. Refreshments and a tasty lunch will be provided both days!
