Speaker: Master Gardener Jackie Rich

Jackie Rich has been a Maricopa County Cooperative Extension Service Master Gardener since 2001 and was composting even before that. She has been educating about compost for 15 years and is still learning. Her adventures in compost began because she wanted to feel less guilty about killing plants. She currently has 9 compost bins of various types, a worm bin, and several in-situ composts. In addition to composting her yard and kitchen waste, she takes yard waste from her neighbors and kitchen waste from 10 other households and has a goal of composting a ton of food waste in a year.
