Hands-on Composting Workshops for Beginners & Communities
Stop viewing your kitchen waste as trash. Our interactive workshops in Bengaluru and across India teach you to turn your daily 'kachra' into rich black gold for your garden.
Here is one of our trainers explaining the core principles of aerobic composting during an interactive outdoor session. We make sure everyone understands the 'why' before we get to the 'how'.
Getting your hands dirty is the best part. In our workshops, we encourage participants to feel the texture of the compost and learn to identify the different stages of decomposition.

An open and interactive Q&A session in progress. We create a comfortable space for participants to ask all their questions, from dealing with pests to using the finished compost.
We believe in small, focused groups for our workshops. This ensures that every participant gets personal attention and can have their specific queries about home composting addressed.

About this collection
We don't just talk theory. In our 2.5-hour sessions at our Indiranagar Experience Centre or our 90-minute online calls, we get our hands into the mix. You will learn exactly how to balance your 'greens' and 'browns' so that your home composting setup stays odor-free, fly-free, and mess-free. Whether you are living in a compact apartment or managing a large community, we help you fix the common mistakes that usually cause people to quit in the first month.
Why Join Our Workshop?
Most people give up on composting because they start with the wrong information, or worse, they get discouraged by a bad smell. We have seen this happen for years. Our workshops are designed to help you unlearn those bad habits and give you the confidence to manage waste at the source.
What We Cover
- The Science of Waste: We break down the difference between aerobic and anaerobic decomposition. You will understand why your compost needs air and how to maintain the perfect moisture level.
- Segregation Rules: Before you compost, you must segregate. We teach you the simple habits of keeping wet waste separate from the dry, which is the single most important step for any household.
- Troubleshooting: Worried about fruit flies or maggots? We address these fears head-on. You will learn the protocols for managing pests and controlling odors effectively.
- Hands-on Demos: In our offline sessions, you get to see, touch, and feel the compost at different stages of maturation. We demonstrate layering techniques for our terracotta Khamba and other units.
For Everyone
Whether you are an individual wanting to start in your balcony, a group of residents in an apartment complex looking for community solutions, or a school teacher wanting to educate children, we have a module for you.
We provide tailored training, from our 'Junior Eco-Camp' for kids aged 9-12 to complex audit and consultation services for large RWAs. By the end of our time together, you won't just know how to compost; you will be part of a movement that treats waste as a resource rather than a nuisance.
