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.

Space is limited. Please register below to reserve your place in the class.  Registration closes at 5 p.m. June 21, 2024, or when the class is full.
