Composting is nature’s way of recycling organic matter such as leaves, grass clippings, prunings, barnyard manures, and food scraps. A backyard composting system can be set up to handle plant debris and food scraps, and the resulting compost can be used as a soil amendment in the garden.
Come and learn about the benefits and techniques of basic composting. Cedar Kehoe from the City of Elk Grove will be here to show you how simple composting is. Each attendee will receive a free starter composting bin at the workshop.
