Join us at Daisy Hill Farm in Acton, MA to see a backyard garden compost system in action! We’ll demonstrate how to build and turn the pile, sift “finished” compost, and apply it to your garden and yard. Learn to identify different stages of compost, handle challenges, and understand what should and should not be composted. Discover how to manage food scraps in the kitchen and compost through the winter.
Not only will you learn how to turn your food scraps, fall leaves, and yard waste into “black gold,” but you will also gain insights into the science behind decomposition and the ecological impact of making and using your own compost. Discover how “black gold” can improve both plant and soil health. We’ll discuss various compost bin options, including DIY and commercial systems, and how to choose the best one for you. You’ll leave with an informational composting packet and excitement to start your composting journey!
The course fee is $39. You can register online at the CCACE website.
