So you want to be a Master Composter/Soil Builder...

Master Composter/Soil Builder (MC/SB) Training

The Master Composter/Soil Builder training is a four week (8-session) in-depth educational experience. Through hands-on workshops, lecture and discussion, Master Composter/Soil Builders learn to:

• compost a variety of organic materials through a variety of approaches
• improve soil health and build soil life
• eliminate pesticide use and conserve water
  
• protect water quality and curb greenhouse gases
  

MC/SB Community Outreach

Following your MC/SB Training, you will become part of a select team of Seattle residents empowered to share what you have learned with friends, neighbors and the community at large. You will have the support you need to be successful at teaching others.  Community outreach is an essential component of the MC/SB program and a powerful form of environmental action!
