Soil Builders Education in Action: Next Steps

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 know there are different composts for different "jobs" - where do we source the compost and engineered soils needed? Are they available locally? Regionally?

Joined by Mike Carignan or Agresource, Andrew Carpenter of Northern Tilth, Chuck Duprey of Naturcycle and Heather Voisin on VTrans, we

  • Recapped of Soil Builders program,

  • Provided an overview of what types of compost & compost-based products are available and how to test material, from the source & in the field, and

  • Began to identify the missing piece when it comes to increasing use of compost & compost-based products.
