Composting Essential Skills

Introduction to Compost Microbes with Ben Beamer

Join local grower and fermenter Ben Beamer for an introduction to composting and the living microbial organisms that help turn kitchen scraps and yard waste into healthy soil. Drawing on his experience with Korean Natural Farming (including fundamental and advanced courses with James, owner of The Barn), Ben will share practical ways to build healthy compost and support the microbial life in your soil.

In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to build a compost bin, what to compost, and how to keep the process simple, pleasant, and pest-free. Whether you’re new to composting or looking to improve your existing setup, Ben will share practical knowledge to help you get started. Participants will leave with an informational pamphlet and a bag of seed compost to put their new knowledge into practice at home.
