In the “Caramelisation Process” module, you will learn the temperature ranges that compost must pass through and how to influence these. The module covers the entire process of aerating, watering, and turning. You will also learn how to assess the quality of compost. Additionally, the module provides tips on minimizing odour nuisance. This knowledge is crucial for optimizing the composting process and reducing environmental impact.
E-Learning
The e-learning is based on the book “Mushroom Signals.” In this module, you will answer questions and work through practical cases.
