Aerated Static Pile Composter at Long's Iris Gardens

A detailed tour of Long's Iris Gardens' new aerated static pile composter, designed and funded with help from Eco-Cycle. Farm manager Randy Pistacchio covers construction, operation, loading, monitoring, odors, and recommendations for the composter.

If you are interested in partnering with Eco-Cycle to put an aerated static pile system on your Boulder County farm (like the one at Long’s or bigger), contact Dan Matsch, Compost Director, at Eco-Cycle. An on-farm compost feedstock such as animal manure/bedding is required. Eco-Cycle is especially looking for CSAs or direct marketers interested in offering a kitchen scrap drop-off for their customers.
