On-farm composting workshop: April 10, 1 to 5pm, Southwest Michigan Research and Extension Center, Benton Harbor. Participants learn how to recycle plant waste and make compost on their farm. Registration deadline Friday, April 5.
Have you been looking for solutions to manage the cull piles and vegetable waste that accumulate at your farm every year? Would you like to find a method other than burning to dispose of brush generated by pruning operations? Learn how to recycle plant waste and use it to create your own “black gold,” a soil amendment that will increase soil organic matter, provide micronutrients and increase retention of soil moisture.
Led by Michigan State University Extension’s Beth Clawson and MSUE vegetable expert Ron Goldy, this workshop will cover biology and core principles of composting, site design, management and operations, precautions when making and using compost, the economics of composting and troubleshooting.
Handouts and light refreshments are included in the $30 registration cost. Reserve your space in this workshop and register today. The Southwest Michigan Research and Extension Center is located at 1791 Hillandale Rd., Benton Harbor, Mich. (view map and directions). For questions, contact Diane Brown at the Berrien County MSUE office at 269-944-4126.
