Hello fellow gardeners! CCE Onondaga Master Gardeners are preparing to offer a Master Composter training this November. This is a 5 hour training, split into 2 sessions, that will cover the basics of soil health, an introduction to soil decomposers, an overview of related Onondaga County Waste management issues (almost 30% of our county’s municipal solid waste is compostable paper products and food waste!), pros and cons of various composting systems, troubleshooting strategies for success, and vermi-composting. During the final session each participant will construct an indoor worm bin to take home. Details and registration information below. Please pass along to anyone you think might be interested.
