Interested in turning your food scraps and waste into nourishment for your plants? Join us and learn the basics of composting! In this workshop we’ll discuss the advantages of different compost feedstocks, best practices to build and maintain a healthy compost pile, and horticultural uses of finished compost. Participants will also learn about different small-scale composting set-ups, from bins to lobster traps to tumblers. We hope participants will leave the workshop empowered to compost wherever they live, whether it’s a farm, apartment, or community garden.
This workshop will take place at the UMaine Gardens at Tidewater Farm, 200 Presumpscot Point Rd, Falmouth, ME 04105.
Registration is required and the program fee is offered on a sliding scale, $5-$15.
