Home composting is a great way to manage food scraps like fruit and vegetable peels, coffee grounds, stale bread, and other scraps or spoiled foods so they don’t go to waste! This free workshop is designed for new/beginner composters looking to get started. The class will introduce the environmental and horticultural benefits of composting and the basic principles of how to do it correctly. Then, participants will learn about the various compost bin options and the pros and cons of each composting system. At the end of the seminar, participants will learn why compost is beneficial for soil health, and how to use their finished compost right in their own backyard.
This class will be offered in person at the Town of Rosendale Recreation Center, with hosts Angelina Brandt, Director of Sustainability and Tanesia White, Recycling Educator of the Ulster County Resource Recovery Agency. No registration is required. Rosendale residents are encouraged to attend, but the class is open to all residents of Ulster County. This class is part of the Looking Towards Spring speaker series sponsored by the Town of Rosendale Recreation Commission. Please visit http://www.townofrosendale.com/recreation/ to learn more.
