In this show-and-tell workshop, participants will learn about the superpowers of soil and compost. Led by SCCG’s very own soil and compost guru’s, James Hyde and Michael Land, this workshop will cover topics including soil testing, water source, living soil, and compost. Plan for a hands-on composting session, followed by discussion on carbon, greens, moisture, and air to generate the heat towards a beautiful finished compost you can do at home.
