About this experience

We will cover how to generate significant amounts of compost in 3 months using as little as 3 square feet. We will also cover trouble shooting tips and tricks about why your compost may be taking longer, smelling, or attracting pests all of which dont need to occur for you to still produce nutrient dense soil.


In the second hour of our class we will delve into vermicomposting which you can use as a high quality homemade fertilizer. This low maintenance approach that is specially designed for Florida allows you to harvest several gallons of castings monthly, feed only once a month, and house them outdoors year round.


Class will be held Saturday 1/25 from 1:00-3:30pm


Important Notes:



  • Advance ticket purchase will be necessary to ensure small group sizes. Please do not show up the day of the event and expect to purchase a ticket.

We are offering this course on a sliding price scale so that everyone is able to access this resource regardless of their financial situation. The sliding scale represents the idea that monetary resources like income should not be the only determining factor in whether or not someone can access services/classes/etc. Take a look at the green bottles image in the product images to help determine where you fall on the sliding scale (image created & shared freely by Alexis J.

    • $35 is the Pay-It-Forward price. The extra money goes towards supporting scholarships as well as future free and low-cost classes. Essentially it's an opportunity to not only purchase the class but also support your fellow community members while you're at it.







    • $25 is the sacrifice price. It is for those who are able to meet their basic needs but have little-to-no expendable income. Paying for this class may qualify as a sacrifice but it would not create hardship. For those that need to purchase at this price, a payment plan is available. Conact me directly at elise.pickett@theurbanharvest.com to discuss details.







    • $15 is the hardship price. It is for those who struggle to meet basic needs and paying for this class would still be a significant hardship. This will be based on community support from the pay it forward price point. For those that need to purchase at this price, a payment plan is available. Contact me directly at elise.pickett@theurbanharvest.com to discuss details.
