Description:
Did you know that approximately 1/6 of what the average household throws away is yard clippings and food?
With a little diligence and skill, you can turn this waste into a free source of nutrients your plants and garden will love!
Get a head start on this growing season as Permaculturist Reed Aubin of the Wilder Institute breaks it down for you.
The workshop includes:
- A demonstration of each step of the composting process
- An overview of materials you’ll need to begin composting
- Designs for pre-made and do-it-yourself compost bins
- Problem-solving tips and resources
- Information on composting during the winter
- An introduction to vermiculture and worm bins
- “Starter” inoculant to launch your own compost or add to an existing pile
All the food scraps that have been accumulating in a frozen lump in the backyard, all the food scraps that have been shuttled out with the trash this winter -- it's time to reclaim this waste-stream as a source of nutrients for your flower or vegetable garden.
