Composting 101

Recap: 

UC Master Gardener Glenda LaCroix led a one hour workshop on composting. She touched on how to start composting at home, what belongs in your compost, reviewed the recipe for composting, and addressed common composting problems. Countertop compost bins were given away for free on a first come, first serve basis. Free geobins were given away to select participants as well.
