How can compost and soils play a powerful role in reversing global climate change? Join LA Compost + Elysian Valley Community Garden for a tour of our community composting system and a discussion about the principles of soil health for carbon sequestration. We will learn about the garden's recent asphalt removal project, and discuss methods for bioremediation that will help prepare the area to grow food and sequester carbon in the soil. Afterward, we will use the microscope to compare soil samples from different garden areas to see our microorganisms in action!
