Kek Lapis Compost Workshop

​This is a workshop where what we compost is gathered lovingly as ingredients to prepare a nourishing meal for beneficial soil microbes.

​The experience starts 1 week before we meet: You will receive by email, some instructions on how to prepare kitchen scraps for aerobic composting.

​When we meet, we will be exploring the connections between compost, soil, plants, and food — and reflect on what we appreciate about a planet where diverse life thrives.

​You will also make a container compost to bring home. You will learn how to tend to it so that the finished compost smells earthy, is rich with beneficial life, and has a soil-like texture. Throughout the process, there should be no foul smell. We will explore why composting is often associated with unpleasant odours and unwanted pests - and what you can do to avoid these.

​The session will include common challenges and practical tips for composting in limited apartment spaces, as well as options for giving away well-made compost if you don't have a need for it.

​The composting approach we share emphasises on having ensuring good airflow. We will also mention the use of fermentation or freezing of kitchen scraps as part of the ingredient-collection process before addition to container compost systems.
