An increasing interest in recycling and taking care of resources, together with the desire to store more carbon in the soil, makes it interesting to look at composting as a method to take care of what we have considered as waste products from farming. In Mærepodden this time we hear Nat Mead from Sogn jord og hagebrukskole, a pioneer in composting in Norway, and Rita Backer Natvig, who is responsible for the composting initiative at Mære landbrukskole. You will get tips on laying down a compost, what kind of materials it is advisable to use and what to look for during the process itself.
Listen to the episode from Mærepodden about composting here:
I oktober 2021 arrangerte Mære landbruksskole en fagsamling om kompostering. Vi samlet 15 kompostinteresserte til en fagdag, der vi la opp kompost. og vendte den. I filmen nedenfor ser du et kort sammendrag fra fagdagen om kompostering. I slutten av filmen ser vi vending av kompost fire uker etter at den ble lagt opp. Det ryker godt, noe som tyder på at komposten er godt i gang med omdanningen.
