Composting on your farm, ranch, or large property is an ideal way to manage crop residues, manure, and other organic waste while creating a stellar soil amendment. Join us at the beautiful International Equestrian Center in Ramona for this three-week course.

Saturday, January 27, 9:30 A.M. – 12 P.M. Saturday, February 3, 9:30 A.M. – 12 P.M. In this course, we’ll cover the following topics: - Neighbor-friendly composting best management practices, scaled to farms - Compost basics, e.g. recipe considerations, feedstocks, and bulk density - Compost management, e.g. site considerations, odor, dust, and rodent/vector control - What is permissible on farms without permits - Composting/water saving benefits
