Urban Compost Systems for Temperate to Cold Climates and Beyond

Composting is one of the best ways to turn kitchen and yard “waste” into resources with hardly any work at all! Compost is also one of the best ways to maintain soil health and natural nutrient cycles for FREE, if you know how to do it 😉

Enjoy this clip where Carmen Lamoureux talks about her home-scale composting systems and some of ways she uses active vs. passive composting piles at her urban property in Calgary.
Carmen is a master gardener of 30+ years, one of the main instructors for our annual Online Permaculture Design Courses, and the owner and founder of Urban Farm School in Calgary, Alberta. She is an absolute wealth of information and you should absolutely check her out if you’re interested in what you see.
