D.C. Gardeners: Learn to Compost Like a Pro
March 21st, 2010 · 1 Comment · Posted in garden
Time to start thinking about compost
From our own Department of Parks and Recreation:
Intro to Urban Composting
April 14th through May 12th
Wednesdays 6:30pm – 8:30pm
Columbia Heights Recreation Center
Master Composter Kaitlin Rienzo- Stack will lead a five week course on the wonders of “black gold,” with a special focus on urban composting issues. Learn how to turn kitchen scraps and other wastes (leaves, yard clippings, etc.) into compost — saving money, reducing waste, and providing a valuable soil amendment for indoor and garden plants alike. Upon completion of the 10-hour course, class participants will have the opportunity to flex their newfound composting skills while giving back to the community, by volunteering at least 10 hours with a community garden / composting site in DC.
To enrol in the class please contact Kelly Anne Melsted at kelly.melsted@dc.gov.
Hey Ed, we are busy composting out humble allotment, ready to go now after sorting it from a council tip of last year!
Cheers
