Garden Basics: Backyard Composting for Healthy Soil and a Healthier Planet
June 22, 2024 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Free
Composting makes sustainable and beneficial use of food and yard waste, reduces chemical fertilizer and insecticide use, and keeps organic wastes out of landfills. This workshop will cover:
- soil and plant nutrient basics,
- the benefits of natural soil building by creating compost from organic matter, and
- composting techniques appropriate for home gardeners.
We will also examine samples of compost batches in various stages of decomposition. Garden Basics is a partnership with the Bread and Roses ministry at Trinity Episcopal Church.
