Come learn how to start composting at home. This workshop will teach how to set up a compost area to turn your kitchen and garden waste into healthy soil. Composted food scraps and yard waste, when composted, keeps valuable resources out of landfills where they contribute to greenhouse gasses. Instead they are captured and can be applied to home gardens and farms where they help build and maintain healthy soil, reducing the need for climate-damaging chemical fertilizers that find their way into streams and rivers. The workshop will cover different composting methods, from a simple on-the-ground compost area to a rotating drum device. It will include what material to compost and what to avoid. This is targeted to families (children and adults), beginners and experienced gardeners. It will be held indoors and outdoors on the grounds of the UU church, which has several acres of forested land and natural plantings. We will be starting a composting area on the grounds of the church and participants will assist in setting this up and starting the composting process on the site.
