Workshop Details
Tired of sending those old kitchen scraps to the landfill? Interested in improving your soil and garden with the power of compost?
Geek out with two soil lovers, and take a deep-dive into the art and science of composting!
This workshop will cover the basics of making compost and tips on managing your piles. It will equip you with the knowledge to determine when your compost is done, how much to use in your garden and when, and share anecdotes about the mistakes we've made along the way!
