Throughout the Soil Builders program, we've been talking about the connections between compost, soil health, and water quality; different kinds of compost; and best management practices based on different applications. Now that we better understand the benefits, how do we get compost- and soil health-based projects off the ground? This VORS 2022 session was a facilitated discussion about making healthy soil a priority in your community.
