Aerated Static Pile (ASP) composting is a no-turn process that uses the naturally occurring microbial population in the feedstocks along with the appropriate oxygen supply and moisture to rapidly mature and age the organic waste into a valuable soil amendment. ASP is a useful method for agriculture producers or rural area residents who want to dispose of organic waste without taking it to the landfill. Participants will learn general principles of composting, uses of compost in agricultural systems, and will learn how to set up an ASP on site from expert composters from Reunity Resources.
