Spring is in the Air...Get Composting!
Wednesday, February 18th from 6:00 to 8:00 PM.
Don't throw out that banana peel or your lawn clippings -- use them to
make compost instead! Start now, and have compost ready to give your spring
garden a boost.
The February 18th composting workshop will cover items such as: what can be
composted, the various methods of composting, and how to use the finished
product. We will also discuss worm composting, or vermicomposting, and help
you choose which methods works best for you. The workshop, co-sponsored by
the Santa Clara County Home Composting Education Program and the Friends of
Guadalupe River Park & Gardens, is free to everyone but space is limited, so
sign up early!
