Welcome to Karuna Compost! We’re exploring the various ways in which backyard composting and the study of microbes can lead to better health, stronger communities, and a greater appreciation of living systems.
A FREE outdoor community meetup where people can get their hands in the soil! Learn about composting and ask questions in a relaxed and welcoming space.
Meetups are happening every Tuesday 6-8pm
A properly managed, handmade compost is so much more rewarding than anything you can find in the garden centre. Let us help you make high-quality compost at home, at your community centre or at your place of work.
Everything you need start a successful vermi-compost. Red wiggler composting worms, bedding, worm health supplements, indoor/outdoor bins and other accessories. Available for pickup in Calgary AB!
Microscopic assessments are available by video recording or in-person meeting. Get an in-depth look at the organisms in your soil or compost and identify areas for improvement.
Plants rely on a dynamic community of microorganisms, including bacteria, fungus, protozoa and nematodes. All of which help the plant get nutrients from the soil, and protect against disease.
Some plants require more bacteria in the soil, while others prefer more fungus. Most of our cereal crops, for example, like a F:B ratio of 1:1
Like humans, biological organisms need food, water, and shelter. Good company and nice weather help too!
Microscopy allows us to monitor the changing populations of biology in the soil, and make adjustments to promote a healthy growing environment.
Add biological diversity and trace nutrients to your indoor/outdoor growing mediums. Each batch is made with carefully selected inputs and is regularly tested to ensure optimal counts of beneficial organisms.
