SUMMARY:Composting on Rangelands
DESCRIPTION:Have you wanted to start a composting system on your property but don’t know what ingredients you need to make it successful? Or maybe you’ve already given it a go but your compost is too wet and unusable? Join us at Badger Creek Ranch – high above the Arkansas River Valley near Salida, Colorado – to learn both how to produce compost and apply organic amendments for rangeland soil health.\nAt this workshop, participants will learn how to create a windrow composting system, a useful method for agriculture producers or rural residents who want to dispose of organic waste without taking it to the landfill. This is the system recommended for those who have some space and readily available feedstocks (ingredients) for the compost like manure, old hay, wood chips, yard waste, brush, and food scraps to transform into a beneficial soil amendment. The process uses the naturally occurring microbes in the feedstocks, and a process of mixing for aeration and moisture management to mature and age the organic waste into a valuable soil amendment. In addition, participants will learn about compost as a soil amendment and how to apply compost. \nThis event is free to attend, and lunch will be provided! Badger Creek Ranch offers accommodation options that you can arrange if you need to stay overnight:Glamping and Camping or Bunkhouse Rooms.\nThe workshop will be led by Rebecca Baldwin-Kordick of Quivira, with contributions from William Vogl of Vogl Homestead, Chrissy McFarren of Badger Creek Ranch, and Shumaisa Khan of Quivira.\nFunding for this workshop was cancelled by the termination of a USDA grant that we received. Many of our community members have come together to financially support the Soil to Supper program, helping us to continue this important work. If you would like to support the livestock producers enrolled, please consider donating when you register.\nQuestions? Please contact Rebecca at rebecca@quiviracoalition.org.\n
