Ryan Vasseur shared his expertise on thermal composting, teaching us about the roles of micro organisms for plant nutrients and growth. We were thrilled to be spending all morning outside in brilliant sunshine.
Ryan led us through the process of building a thermal compost. Wood chips, beer mash, coffee grounds, and horse manure were thoroughly mixed and placed in a large composting container. The activity of the growing micro organisms in the coming weeks will create intense heat, breaking down the wood chips and other materials. This compost will be used to feed the trees and plants at the Orchard Garden later this spring.
