Keeping it Hot Through the Cold Season: Fall & Winter Composting in the Garden
We will cover what is needed, including food waste, coffee grounds, fall leaves, water and air – to build a hot compost pile, and discuss how to keep it active through the cold season.
In this workshop we will discuss challenges and advantages of composting through the fall and winter months. We will cover what is needed, including food waste, coffee grounds, fall leaves, water and air – to build a hot compost pile, and discuss how to keep it active through the cold season. Attendees will receive information, handouts and instructions on composting and learn how to cook enough finished compost for spring plantings. Together we will turn and sift the piles in our newly-built, concrete-block compost bin and examine what is interacting, living, and decomposing in the bins and the composition of finished compost. In addition to discussing ways to keep the outdoor compost pile going through the cold, ice, and snow, we will also learn about incorporating indoor methods such as worm or vermi-composting and Bokashi food fermentation in the garden composting system.
Attendees of all physical abilities and hands-off observers are welcome. Please dress appropriately for the weather and work if you intend to get your hands dirty.
Bring your compostables!
