Do You Want to Be a “Master Composter” ?

From the San Diego Union-Tribune:


San Diegans could reduce trash by up to a third by composting yard trimmings, leaves and fruit and vegetable matter, according to the Encinitas-based Solana Center, which is offering workshops.

The center has teamed up with the cities of Carlsbad, Encinitas and San Diego to teach composting techniques at community centers and schools, and to offer discounted compost bins for participants.

The workshops explore backyard composting and vermicomposting, which uses worms to break down food and yard waste.

The center offers discounted compost bins for $40. 

It also offers a five-week “master composter” class from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturdays from Feb. 23 to March 16 at the Water Conservation Garden, 12122 Cuyamaca College Drive West, El Cajon. Participants in the class, which covers in-depth training in composting techniques, are asked to complete 30 hours of community service....



Thank you to Bernie for the info!
