Great question, Laura!
Looping in the folks from the Education Fund (if they don’t already receive this email) who I know do composting in their “banana circles”-a good fit for a warmer climate than yours but I wonder if they can share their best practices.
All the best,
Tristana

Hi all,
Chicago Public Schools chiming in. I would be very interested to hear from School Districts that have widespread composting programs in how you minimize pathogens in your piles. We have piloted zero-waste schools here, but minimizing risk of food borne illnesses from improperly maintained compost piles are a concern of ours. I'd love to be more active in this space.
Best regards,

Hi Laura,
Thank you for asking those questions. Our school has been trying to get a cafeteria waste system in place. We already compost our garden materials but would LOVE to compost and recycle as much as possible from the cafeteria.
Thanks
Derby Stevens

Hi all,
I am not in this group but would like to be! Thank you Tristana for bringing us into the conversation.
One of the foundations for all of our Food Forests is a banana circle. Please see this link for the basic idea https://treeyopermacultureedu.com/chapter-10-the-humid-tropics/banana-circle/ .
While bananas work fantastic in our climate, we have substituted other trees at some of our schools, such as papaya, due to location or other issues.
The “circles” work best with greedy trees or plants that traditionally need a lot of nutrients, hence the composting in the middle, and why bananas work so well for us. But any tree could be substituted, so up north maybe an apple circle would work better, or a tomato circle. Please let me know if you have any other questions!

Subject: Cafeteria to Garden Programs? Who is doing a great job with cafeteria food "waste"
Hi All - Common Threads (Bellingham, WA) is thinking hard about how to better turn cafeteria food "waste" into garden treasure.
I'm wondering what you can gell me about:
1) The coolest compost systems you're aware of (either DIY or on the market)
2) Any school or district that you've seen doing a really nice job of "cafeteria to garden" composting
3) Any funding sources that you're aware of supporting this work
Thanks a million! Laura
