Composting Workshop

Composting harnesses the natural process of decomposition, turning organic materials like food and yard waste into a soil amendment. Our yard, garden and food waste account for nearly 20% of the total trash thrown away each year. Instead of tossing these valuable resources, turn them into compost!
Join Meggan Uecker, Waste Reduction Coordinator for Clallam County, and other Master Composters for a home composting workshop on Tuesday, July 28. The class will take place from 5:30pm- 7:30pm at the Master Gardener’s Woodcock Demonstration Garden located at 2711 Woodcock Road in Sequim.

The workshop will begin with a presentation on the basics of home composting. Other activities include hands on compost pile building, and a guided tour of various composting systems to help you evaluate methods for your home decomposition of yard debris and food scraps, including a vermicomposting system. The workshop will conclude with experienced composters providing helpful tips for trouble-shooting your compost system and making sure it is an effective tool for providing nutritious organic material for your garden beds.

The cost of the workshop is $10 per person and includes a copy of the popular composting booklet, Home Composting Made Easy. Please contact the WSU Extension office at (360) 565-2679 to register. Class size is limited so please call soon to reserve your spot.
