Turn your food scraps and yard debris into gold for your garden. When you compost, you encourage beneficial organisms to turn your waste into stable organic matter that feeds your plants and the soil. We'll help you make your best compost ever from start to finish in your own backyard.
At the workshop you'll learn:
the role of the FBI (fungi, bacteria, invertebrates) in your compost pile.
recipes for successful composting.
how compost piles go bad and what you can do about it.
using compost.
bokashi, what it is, and how it can help you compost if the pile isn't working for you. (You'll take some bokashi starter home with you, too!)
Free!
Kids are welcome at all of our workshops with their grown-ups.
This workshop is made possible by the U.S. Conference of Mayors Childhood Obesity Prevention and Environmental Sustainability Award, Tuskegee University's Urban Agriculture Innovation Center, and the City of Montgomery.
