About the Event
Turning Scraps into Soil: All-Year Composting
Don't let your kitchen scraps go to waste while your garden sleeps—fall and winter are secretly ideal for building "black gold" for spring. Learn why cooler months offer unique advantages for successful composting and discover strategies that work even when temperatures drop. We'll cover what materials to stockpile now, how to maintain active decomposition through winter, and why making your own compost beats commercial products (hint: you control exactly what goes in). Stop buying bagged amendments that may contain contaminants from municipal waste facilities. Transform autumn leaves and winter scraps into perfect, safe compost ready the moment planting season arrives.
