Workshop: Compost

April 21, 2016 @ 12:30 pm - 3:30 pm

We will explore the various Composting Systems in place at Stone Barns and discuss the science, experience and insight necessary to produce premium quality compost for a range of agricultural and horticultural applications. This class will be held outdoors and will be hands on, focusing on active windrow and static aerated composting methods for all organic materials.

Workshops are free and open to the public. To register, contact Laurie at laurief@stonebarnscenter.org.
