Introduction to Composting

November 15, 2016 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Course Description:
A constant supply of fresh compost is ideal for many community garden sites and residents who want to grow flowers or fresh produce. Composting helps to turn food scrap and yard waste into healthy and nutritious soil that can be used to garden. However, the garden site should meet a few basic requirements, in order to host a composting system.

1. Is there enough space to work with?

2. Are there gardeners willing to contribute to the compost pile and to help maintain it?

3. Are there enough materials on site (both brown and green) to have a balanced compost pile?

4. Are there gardeners who will use the finished product?

5. What are the steps to compost?

During this course, we will discuss these questions and ensure that you are ready to start a small composting project.
