You’ve heard you should compost…now it’s time to learn how!
Composting is just as essential to our lives as recycling and waste removal. With the potential to build healthy soils and reduce landfill area, this simple action has the power to reduce the negative effects of environmental degradation and soil loss.
Whether you're eager to green your lifestyle, reduce your household waste, or increase soil health, there are several options for small-scale composting that can be done at home, in your garden, or even in an apartment. Whatever your circumstances, there's a method for you!
This beginner-friendly class will cover the basics of outdoor composting, vermicompost, and bokashi. You'll learn what a healthy compost pile requires to be productive and how to troubleshoot common issues. Weather permitting, we'll take a tour of the CGC's compost systems and discuss the pros and cons of several types.
