To teach other interested farmers and nature lovers the ropes, Isensee offers a two-day seminar on alternative uses of compost. "Yesterday we got together with expert Heiner Cuhls who showed us the basic principles, today we built a compost heap on my lot," said Isensee. The grower plans to grow radishes, lettuce and kohlrabi in his three large nurseries, utilizing the heat from his compost heaps. Currently, there are still some 18 seminar participants engaged in the construction of a heap large enough to accommodate proper cultivation.
