About this Event
Yard trimmings, leaves and other landscape waste can be combined with kitchen waste in the composting process to create fertile, organic matter that can be added to soil, mulch and potting soil to help your plants flourish. Composting is nature's way of recycling...actively helped along by you! Join in this informative in-person presentation to learn tips and tricks about the science and art of composting from UF/IFAS Extension Pasco County.
