Learn to Rot Right with the Sierra Club!
The average suburban homeowner can divert more garbage from the incinerator by composting than recycling! Yard-waste and grass clippings make a huge portion of your garbage. And the stinkiest get-rid-of-this stuff in your garbage can is that food waste.
Put these together and you conveniently create the best fertilizer and soil amendment for gardens, landscaping—even lawns and houseplants. Gardeners call it “black gold.” Compost even helps fight plant disease. No yard? Try a worm bin or bokashi...or all three!
“Compost Happens” in nature everywhere, but done wrong it can be frustrating. Done right, it’s fun.
Barb Conover, a Missouri “Master Composter,” will bring her “I Rot Right” composting demo from Montclair’s “Compost Give-Back” events and local ecofairs to this Tuesday night. Bring questions and/or share your knowledge.
