Practical Composting for Small Spaces Workshop

  • By Tamara J Majcherek

‘Practical Composting for Small Spaces'

Harvesting Worms
 Eager to learn how one might create ‘black gold', workshop participants gave their full attention learning how to create the perfect compost set-up for their landscape – big or small The workshop captured all of the basics: why compost, how to make a bin, what materials to use, bin maintenance, site placement, and the best uses for finished compost.

Hands-on activities included a tour of the South Coast REC Compost Demonstration Site, learning the proper techniques to turn a bin to maximize consistent temperatures and trying out various tools used for composting and vermiculture.

The highlight of the morning was learning how to make a DIY worm bin to take home - worms and all.

If you missed out on this workshop, we have another opportunity coming up on May 19, 2018.
