Bucket Composting with Bokashi Class!

WHEN: Saturday Oct 4 10:00am-12:00pm

WHERE: | Open Space Visitor Center, 6500 Coors Blvd NW, Albuquerque, NM 87120, USA

INSTRUCTOR: Master Composter Rye Bailey

The Bokashi method is a two-step approach to composting. The first step is anaerobic, involving the fermentation of food waste. The fermented food waste is then incorporated into the soil during the second stage. There are several advantages to the method including the ability to incorporate meat and dairy products.
