Speaking & Workshops
Soil, Compost, Microscopy and Regenerative Agriculture Education
I regularly give talks, workshops, and live demonstrations on soil biology, composting systems, and regenerative agriculture practices. My presentations are designed to translate soil science into practical knowledge that farmers, gardeners, and land stewards can apply in the real world.
My goal is to make soil ecology approachable and practical so more people can participate in rebuilding healthy soil systems.
Events & Demonstrations
My speaking work has included:
• Composting workshops (home to farm scale)
• Soil microscopy demonstrations
• Compost tea brewing demonstrations
• Indigenous microorganism (IMO) workshops
• Soil health and climate resilience talks
• Judging compost competitions
Speaking Topics
Composting — From Backyard to Farm Scale
Practical composting strategies for building high-quality compost in both small-scale and agricultural systems. Topics include compost biology, troubleshooting piles, and producing biologically active compost.
Soil Biology & Microscopy Demonstrations
Live demonstrations showing the organisms that make up the soil food web using direct microscopy. Participants learn how microbes influence nutrient cycling, soil structure, and plant health.
Compost Tea Systems
Hands-on demonstrations of fungal-dominant compost tea brewing systems and how biologically active teas can be used to support soil ecosystems.
Indigenous Microorganisms (IMO)
Workshops on collecting and cultivating indigenous microorganisms and applying them in regenerative soil management systems.
Soil Organic Matter & Climate Resilience
Talks focused on how soil biology and organic matter formation contribute to long-term soil health and climate resilience in agricultural systems.
Compost Education for Youth
Interactive composting workshops designed for children and school groups that introduce the basics of soil life and organic recycling.
Camp Compost
I am the co-founder and organizer of Camp Compost, a regenerative agriculture festival focused on composting, soil biology, and land stewardship.
Camp Compost brings together farmers, researchers, educators, and soil enthusiasts to share knowledge and build community around regenerative practices.
