With a little effort we can harness the benefits of compost to create healthy food and abundant communities. However, with all of the different methods and details, composting can seem confusing or overwhelming. The purpose of Urban Anchors is to provide support to residents who wish to be more involved with their food story. We seek to empower our neighbors with the confidence to be successful with growing and composting food. Accessibility to anyone who seeks support is fundamental. This is why we meet residents where they are at financially and provide alternatives to composting on-site. We seek to activate “Anchors” throughout our greater community who wish to serve as hosts for decentralized compost hubs. Anchoring valuable resources in our neighborhoods. During the pandemic we observed more of our neighbors looking to grow food at home. The fluctuations from the supply chain became less impactful and they could control the quality and taste of our foods. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d676ef1a52ec4669abc93e/1625103599167-6YUY6NVZZROYNV2ZS3GO/scaled.Bennett+Rock.jpg About https://www.urbananchors.org/food-forests-gardens daily 0.75 2021-07-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d676ef1a52ec4669abc93e/1626970189466-B1VIIMR0PG05WURX7J1B/Bennet6.jpg Food Forests & Gardens - Urban Home Gardens Whether you are looking to streamline raised beds or every inch of your yard, using living soils, companion planting and “beyond organic” principals will mean healthier and happier food for you. Our yards can be spaces of beautiful, productive and thriving ecosystems. Promoting diversity of life through living soils and creating abundance with natural systems.. Plants and trees all draw down C02 from the air and anchor the carbon in soil. As a Santa Barbara resident, we can anchor C02, feed our soils and reap the harvest. https://www.urbananchors.org/residential-composting daily 0.75 2021-08-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d676ef1a52ec4669abc93e/1625104067711-9X7IPBHRO15EGQ2GLVOP/Compost+Bucket.jpg Residential Composting - Compost At Home Converting food scraps into nutrient rich compost is one of the best things you can do for your wallet, environment and home garden.

Whether you are just starting out or looking to refine your current system, the goal is to create a loop of continued success. We help you do this by working with your specific home environments and provide a path to success that simplifies the science. Composting food scraps can seem overwhelming.
