In TWO WEEKS on Wednesday, October 21, we are hosting an On-Farm Composting Ag Skills workshop with Catalyst BioAmendments at Bluebird Farm.

In this workshop, we will use food waste as a primary input and learn the nitrogen-to-carbon ratios that create an efficient compost pile. We will also cover spray and injection compost applications with examples and hands-on activities during the workshop. Ag Skills tickets can be purchased for $5 at the link below.

A big THANK YOU to Laura and the Smith family of Quincy for their generous donation of assorted hand tools, stakes, and t-posts. Dawn Institute is still recovering inventory and infrastructure following the losses in the Dixie Fire. These tools will allow more work to be done on the Dawn grounds and allow opportunities for volunteer workdays in the near future. The t-posts will be used to develop the new composting bays!
