Free Composting Class

Join expert composter Lorraine Walters on Saturday, September 4 and learn about composting, vermicompost and mulch to improve the health of your soil.  Healthy soil can increase production, reduce the likelihood of insects and disease, reduce water needs and more.

This class will be held at Community Roots Garden. Scheduled topics include:

• How to make compost from common materials such as food scraps, grass clippings, and leaves.
• Faster composting methods that take more attention as well as the slower, easier methods.
• How to make extra high-grade compost using redworms (called vermicomposting).
• How to use compost to build your soil.
• How to use mulch to build your soil, and the difference between compost and mulch.
