Did you know it takes 25 years for a lettuce head to decompose in a landfill but only a week or so to decompose in a thermal composting pile? Composting is a way for everyone to have a positive impact on the growing food waste problem in our city and country. At this Home Composting workshop we will go over how a compost pile breaks down food and converts it into nutrient rich material for gardens, lawns, and erosion areas; along with the materials needed for a successful compost mound, how to effectively care for a composting area in your backyard, and the uses for compost. Please join us for an evening of composting 101 for your backyard or small business.
