Verge-The Big Sequester and Biochar
Date: August 27, 2017
Time: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM
Event Description
Verge continues as a part of the Wormfarm's Test Plot Series. "The Big Sequester" 9 AM- 1PM and "Biochar" 1-5 PM.
This Sunday morning artists Amber Ginsburg and Sara Black will stoke up eight anaerobic charcoal kilns, transforming the remaining material of the original Verge benches into charcoal and then on to biochar for the enrichment of local growing systems. Join them in the morning to tend the roaring kilns while chatting about carbon from the molecular to the atmospheric level. The afternoon will be spent working together to turn charcoal into biochar. Either as a follow-up to Tony Saladino's workshop the day before or as a first introduction to biochar, we will all be learning together. You may take away biochar for your own use at the end of this weekend. All remaining biochar will go to local partner farms. This event is free.
