About this Event

The city of Amsterdam burns all of its organic waste. But why add to the emissions when instead you could return the nutrients from your food waste to the soil?


Composting is not without its challenges, but it’s an excellent feeling to turn your organic waste into something productive instead of throwing it out. Plus, it's a very useful skill to have. Composting is something of an art, science, magic, and climate action all at the same time. It can even save you money!


In this skill-sharing meetup, we will introduce you to Bokashi composting, which ferments food waste before returning it to the soil.


We will cover how you can use Bokashi while living in an apartment, and what you can do with the fermented food waste. We will also give some tips on how to deal with the second stage after the fermentation.


This meetup is for anyone who would like to find a way to compost kitchen scraps - either to produce compost for your own garden or purely for climate reasons. We will focus on the urban composter!


In this ‘learning by doing’ meetup, you will also have the opportunity to discuss knowledge, skills, and strategies with people that are also compost beginners and want to learn together.


What to bring:

Your kitchen scraps in a box or bucket, appropriate clothing. We have gloves.


What to Expect:

Hands-on activity

Working with new people

Activity is outside - so be prepared for the weather


Agenda

Meeting at Kaskantine and Introduction

Theory behind Bokashi Composting

Making Bokashi Compost

The Kaskantine is still under construction, so we don't have an inside space that we can use yet!

The meetup will be in the garden. Check the weather at the day of the meetup

If the weather does not permit outdoor meetings and if we can't find an alternative venue, we will need to postpone the meetup.
