COMPOSTING WORKSHOPS

What does composting have to do with birds?

Well, if you want to have a lot of birds in your garden, then sustainable gardening practices– less chemicals and more natural methods–are key to building a healthy habitat for birds and other wildlife.

Compost is a wonderful way to add nutrients to your garden safely, without chemicals that may harm birds.

We have TWO kinds of composting classes:

HOT BATCH Composting, using debris from your garden or yard to make a large pile of compost and VERMICOMPOSTING, using red wiggler worms in a container to turn your kitchen scraps into a safe and effective fertilizer in your garden.

$10 for the class.  Attendees will receive $10 off wire fencing for Hot Batch or $10 off Can-o-Worms for the Vermicomposting class.
