Curious about composting? Just like us, gardens need food to thrive, and the best nutrition feeds both plants and the soil.  This class explores how to best use compost, amendments, and so-called garden “waste” to meet the nutritional needs of your soil and your plants. We’ll cover tips for building better compost, recycling organic resources in your own backyard, and natural solutions to maximize garden nourishment.
