We’re eager to invite you to two insightful webinars that dig deep into the science and strategy behind compost use. Whether you're a composter, landscaper, engineer, or soil health advocate, these sessions offer valuable knowledge you can put to work right away.
Soil Growth & Water Impacts from Compost & Biochar
Wednesday, August 6, 1:00-2:30 pm ET
Join Dr. Sai Thejaswini Pamuru as she presents her doctoral research on how compost and biochar interact to affect soil growth, water retention, and nutrient runoff. Supported by a 2023 CREF University Research Scholarship, her large-scale greenhouse experiments simulated roadside embankments using various compost-biochar mixes. The results? Compost boosts plant growth but can increase nutrient runoff, while biochar helps retain moisture and reduce pollution. Together, they offer a promising path toward sustainable soil management.
Compost Specifications & How to Meet Them
Wednesday, Sep. 10, 3:00-4:15 pm ET
Ron Alexander and Howard Stenn will help composters and landscape professionals understand how to meet—and shape—compost specifications for successful project bids. Learn how STA Program participation, compost testing data, and simplified spec writing can help you win more contracts and troubleshoot issues effectively. You'll also gain insight into the real causes of landscape soil failures—and how to protect your product’s reputation.
