Methods of Backyard Compost: Easy Composting Workshop #3

There is nothing more spectacular than the magic of COMPOST! In this class series, you will learn hands-on backyard composting skills and the science of turning "yard waste" into "black gold". You can attend a single class, or all three! Each will feature a different topic of composting.

Fee: $25/class or $60 for all three classes

Each class will be taught by trained and knowledgeable University of Idaho Extension - Master Composters. Anyone with an interest in compost can apply! Each class will cover a different facet of composting, from soil and compost biology, to composting equipment, to building and maintaining a beautiful (and odor free!) compost pile. You'll gain hands-on skills including how to turn and aerate a pile, what to look for in good and bad compost, and much more in our Compost Demonstration area.

Please Note: To become eligible for UI Master Composter Certification, you will need to attend all three classes and then complete 10 hours of additional hands-on practicum time the Compost Demonstration area with a Master Composter mentor.
