Sustainable and Low Waste Gardening Series
Workshop 2 - Boosting your Compost with Microbes
Come along to this workshop to discover how you can improve your compost and help your garden thrive!
This workshop features a discussion of sampling results over the life of a compost, including live viewing of soil microbes from samples from two different sorts of compost.
The workshop covers the following topics:
- Exploring composts – who makes them and how, and why they are used.
- Some different types of composts
- Microbes in composts.
- Viewing bacteria, fungi, protozoa and nematodes
- How populations vary over the life of the compost.
- How microbes enrich the value of compost.
- Microbes in composts, compost teas, and extracts
- How to change populations of microbes in composts to be fungal dominant or bacterially dominant.
- Questions and answers
By the end of this session, participants will have a better understanding of how microbes affect composting and be able to make more informed decisions as to what type of compost and method of application to use.
This workshop is proudly presented by the Town of Cambridge in partnership with Switch Your Thinking.
