Are you wanting to start a compost bin but don't know where to begin?  Do you have one but find yourself wondering what can and can't go in it?  

This is a hands-on class for those interested in learning the basics of successful composting.  The class includes information that will help students understand what can and can't be composted, what is needed to make composting work, how much moisture and stirring is needed, what lifeforms you should welcome and which you should discourage in your compost, and what compost actually is.

The class will be held outdoors in the Wilson Street Community Garden.  Bring water and dress appropriately for the weather and walking on dirt/uneven surfaces. Bathroom facilities are not available.
