Compost Alive! Workshop

Past event
Apr 4, 2019, 6:30 to 8:30 PM

Colchester Parks & Recreation is pleased to welcome Master Composter Laurie DiCesare back to the Bayside Activity Center for another composting workshop! This is a great opportunity to learn more about the process of composting, whether you are planning to use your compost in your own garden, or preparing as more and more communities introduce composting to their normal refuse options.

Come help Laurie mix up a batch of sweet-smelling compost. We'll talk about several methods (piles, bins, tumblers, worms...); what to include / exclude; mixing "Greens and Browns"; natural compost accelerators; cures for "compost gone wrong"; and what you can do with the "Black Gold" you produce. Your banana peels, coffee grounds, dried eggshells and other compostable donations would be appreciated...or just come watch. Participants will receive a Basic Composting hand-out...and maybe an eco-friendly door prize. Teens under 18 are welcome to attend with an adult who is also registered.

WHEN: Thursday, April 4, 6:30 – 8:30pm
FEE: $15 (Colchester residents) / $25 (non-residents)
LOCATION: Bayside Activity Center
Registration #: 351001-A
REGISTRATION DEADLINE: Monday, April 1, 2019
