The RCD's second soil health event, the Vermicompost Facility Tour, will be on November 21, from 10am to 12pm at the Black Diamond Vermicompost Facility (5325 Broken Spur Place, Paso Robles). The RCD has received a grant from the California Department of Food and Agriculture to fund a 3-year study into the effects of vermicompost application on vineyards with respect to greenhouse gas sequestration and overall soil health characteristics. This project is in collaboration with Mesa Vineyard Management, Castoro Cellars, Cal Poly, and Black Diamond Vermicompost . This workshop will demonstrate the process of vermicompost production on site at the Black Diamond Vermicompost Facility. The tour is free, but please register in advance.
