Spreading the word
Composting isn’t rocket science and it’s simple, fun, and accessible to everyone. However, if you’re worried about bad smells, rats discovering your composting hub, or just struggling with knowing where to start, Soil Squad is here to help. Our hands-on workshops cover everything from Bokashi composting to wormeries, cold composting, and even building a community-scale Johnson-Su bioreactor. Plus, we bring in guest speakers to share the latest soil science from around the world. We’d love you to join us and turn your waste into rich, woodland-scented compost! Take a look at our upcoming events below.

Soil Squad on the road
Are you looking for something unique and interesting for your event? Then book us for a Soil Squad talk or demonstration – or a hands-on workshop. You’ll get an inside look at the process behind our work, learn our philosophy, take a microscopic dive into the world of the soil beneath our feet and much more. It’s perfect for schools, community groups, and eco-conscious events.
