En Nuestras Manos / In Our Hands

EPISODE 3: Composting

Goal: Maximize compost quality, quantity and microbial diversity

Fleeing from wide-spread violence in Kenya, Samuel Nderitu and Peris Wanjiru arrived in an abandoned field and founded G-BIACK (GROW BIOINTENSIVE® Agricultural Center of Kenya). Determined to tackle hunger and poverty, they began teaching others in the Biointensive method with barely any resources. Now, several years later they have directly and indirectly trained thousands, improved social conditions in the surrounding area and proven that this method works regardless of what you start with. Join Samuel, Peris and Agustin Macîa (of El Mesquite Farm) in learning to build your own compost and experience the magic of improving the fertility of your land.
