Back at the Kahnawà꞉ke community compost facility again to end Day 2 of our in-person composting training. Learning how to prepare compost samples for testing, using both the Solvita test as well as preparing the first CQA test for shipping and lab testing.

Today’s training took us to Kahnawà’s Food Forest, where compost nourishes pear, plum, apple, service berry & black walnut trees. Nearby, a wetland and Bank Swallows support wildlife. Student artwork celebrates local critters. Compost, nature and inspiring comebacks give us hope!
