Intro to Composting with Bokashi
July 30, 2016 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
Join us for a workshop at Common Good City Farm to learn about Bokashi composting at a urban farm level. Bokashi composting is an anaerobic fermentation composting method that is 100% critter proof, has no greenhouse gases emitted like hot bacterial composting, and holds onto to 100% of its fertility unlike hot bacterial composting. DC Parks and Rec has launched its pilot community Bokashi program at Common Good City Farm.

Teacher Bio:
Christian spent the last few years as Farm Manager at ECO City Farms, a few miles outside DC in Prince George’s County, MD. On this 1-acre urban farm (or “big garden”), the farm used organic methods, compost, and season extension tools to provide fresh vegetables, fruits, and sprouts to our 25-person CSA and farmers market. More importantly, as a non-profit educational organization, is the mission to help urban communities use agriculture to positively develop their communities.
