CHS June Meeting: COMPOST

Learn how to ‘feed your soil’ with compost! Balanced soil and biology are the key to natural sustainability. Presenters Nicole Brouwer and John Montague will explain the basics on organic compost and why it’s so important, drawing from over 30 years of experience and the work done at The Glen Roads Organics. A leader in teaching and producing thermal compost, organic regenerative farming practices and in building healthy, resilient biologically diverse soils.

Nicole graduated from University of Toronto with Honours Bachelor of Science and a diploma from Durham College, and is currently involved in regenerative agriculture practices and organic food production at The Glen Roads Organics. John is a Holistic Soil Consultant and dedicated to teaching people how to heal their soil. John studied with Dr. Elaine Ingham of The Soil Foodweb Inc. at Rodale Institute, and the University of Guelph. As operations manager of The Glen Road Organics, John takes pride in producing bio-diverse compost and potting mixes as well as teaching organic farming and gardening practices.
