Composting for Beginners Class

Did you know that food is the most common material sent to landfills in the United States? Composting is a great way to recycle food scraps and return their nutrients to the soil, instead of throwing them away. Whether you are a gardener or just someone trying to live more sustainably, this program will help you understand the science behind composting and choose a method that will work for your household!
