Typically, it takes approximately 1 year to turn kitchen scraps to "black gold". Interested in creating garden-ready compost in just 2-3 weeks?! Thought so …
In this workshop, Julia Mitchell and Jason Baranec of Southern Alberta Permaculture, will introduce you to a rapid composting method developed by Robert D. Raabe, Professor of Plant Pathology, Berkeley appropriately called (you guessed it!) the “Berkeley Method" of composting.
WARNING: This workshop will be hands-on as we will show you step-by-step how to create your own Berkeley Compost pile. Please come dressed to get a little dirty! It is recommended you bring work gloves.

Based in Lethbridge, Alberta, Southern Alberta Permaculture (SAP) designs sustainable human habitat that is founded on working with nature. A sustainable system is one that maintains itself or produces a surplus. SAP incorporates ecological design solutions that seek to produce more than they consume. SAP encourages individuals and families to spend more time in their garden and less in their grocery. A renewed focus on improving our surrounding ecologies and benefiting from natural resources could have a very positive impact on present and future generations.
