Compost is a popular soil amendment that supports healthier crops, stronger soils, and more resilient growing systems. By transforming everyday organic materials into a nutrient-rich resource, composting reduces waste while closing the loop on the farm and in the home garden. This workshop introduces participants to the fundamentals of the composting process—from understanding the science behind decomposition to identifying the right mix of materials for successful composting. Attendees will explore practical methods for managing compost, troubleshooting common issues, and incorporating finished compost into soils for maximum agronomic benefit. This session is valuable for both commercial producers seeking to improve soil structure and yields, and home gardeners interested in sustainable practices.
Registration can be found on the York County Farmers’ Network Speaker Series webpage.
