With just a small bin and some hardworking worms, you can compost food waste year-round—no backyard required! In this class, you'll learn everything you need to get started, and you'll even take home your own worms to kick-start your composting journey.

Meet the Instructor!

Steve Libbey started composting in earnest in the early 1990s turning over, literally, tons of waste as the Coordinator of the Seattle Zoo's composting/recycling program. Subsequently achieving neither fame nor fortune, Steve continues to garden and compost in hot piles and with worms.
