SUMMARY:'Turn Your Garbage to Gold\,' an Outdoor Workshop on Composting
DESCRIPTION:The next in our series of free outdoor workshops on composting will be held at the compost demonstration site in the Bread & Roses Gardens at Trinity Episcopal Church. We will showcase a range of techniques for turning household waste such as food scraps\, yard trimmings\, uncoated paper\, cardboard\, and sawdust into the ideal soil amendment for the yard and garden. We will also show how all households\, large and small\, can keep compostable waste out of landfills. When added to a landfill\, food scraps decompose anaerobically (without oxygen) and release methane\, a potent greenhouse gas that contributes to global climate change. When composted\, food scraps contribute to healthy soil and plants and to cleaner water and air. \nRegister below to reserve your place in the class. Registration closes at 5 p.m. November 7 or when the workshop is full.
