In-Person Workshops
Hands-on sessions in community spaces where participants see materials, ask questions, and apply methods in real time.
Education
Grow knowledge
The cycle only works if people can run it themselves. We teach the whole loop in plain language: what to collect, how bio digestion works, how to use frass, compost, and biochar, and how to tell whether any of it is helping your soil.
Online Classes
Accessible virtual learning options that help participants across regions build practical soil management skills.
School Engagement
Interactive programming with schools and education organizations to teach children and students about soil regeneration.
Written Guides
Short, step-by-step instructions for using amendments and for setting up and running a small bio digestion system.
Bio Digestion Basics
What black soldier fly larvae eat, how dried larvae are used as an animal feed supplement, and how to handle what they leave behind before it goes into a garden bed.
Community Learning Events
Collaborative sessions that connect local gardeners, families, and organizations to shared knowledge and success stories.
What a session covers
We teach practical use cases for the materials that come out of the cycle, so people know what to do and why they are doing it.
- Bio digestion: how black soldier fly larvae turn food scraps into usable material
- Dried larvae as animal feed: using them as a supplement reduces reliance on fishmeal from wild fisheries and supports gut health and immune function in chickens, fish, and dogs
- Insect frass: what it is, when to use it, and where it may support plant vigor
- Biochar: potential benefits for nutrient retention and soil structure
- Compost types: regular compost, mushroom compost, and localized compost streams
- Application methods: blending, layering, timing, and ongoing care
- Outcome tracking: simple signs to monitor plant performance and soil changes
No soil science background needed
Sessions are built for people who have never read a soil test. We keep the vocabulary small, work with real material, and leave time for questions.
