Rachael Roussin is our workshop host and has been a lazy but passionate backyard composter for over 15 years in Rossland. Every year she turns her compost pile to add the black gold to her vegetable garden to help grow delicious vegetables. Rachael's goal is to make her backyard garden into a sponge that can soak up water and feed soil microbes to provide nutrients to her vegetables!
