A growing interest in recycling and preserving resources, along with the desire to store more carbon in the soil, makes it interesting to look at composting as a method of preserving what we have considered waste products from farms. In this episode of Mærepodden we hear from Nat Mead from Sogn jord og hagebruksskole, a nestor in composting in Norway, and Rita Backer Natvig, who is responsible for the composting initiative at Mære landbruksskole. You will get tips on how to make a compost, what kind of materials are good to use and what to look for during the process itself.
Listen to the episode from Mærepodden about composting here:

In the film below you can see a short summary from the workshop on composting. At the end of the film we see the turning of compost four weeks after it was laid out. It is smoking well, which indicates that the compost is well underway with the transformation.
