Master Compost Course

The Sustainability Academy’s Fall 2018 Master Compost Course is a no-cost, 6-week, in-class course that will provide you with an in-depth knowledge of backyard and vermi (worm) composting, including skills needed to build and maintain your own piles; an understanding of soil biodiversity and the benefits of adding compost to your soil; an overview of commercial composting via in-class lecture and a commercial composting facility tour; and communication, leadership, and instruction skills you can use to educate others on how to compost.

The course is a mixture of lecture and hands-on learning, with an emphasis on interactivity to teach concrete composting skills. The courses will take place on Tuesday evenings at the San Carlos Community Center in the Parkview Room (601 Chestnut Street, San Carlos, CA 94070) on the following dates: November 6, November 13, November 27, December 4, December 11, and December 18.
