Introduction to Composting

Join us for an introductory presentation on backyard composting in South Florida. We’ll cover how to start your pile, what to add to your pile, and how to turn it into a finished soil amendment. Along the way we’ll learn a bit about where food scraps go when we throw them away and how they’re managed.

To help prepare, you can start collecting and freezing your food scraps today. Please bring in pictures of your frozen food scraps and where you plan to start your compost pile.
