Home Composting. FREE Workshops in 2012. So easy, even Oscar The Grouch can do it...

The best way to amend poor soil is to start your very own garden compost! Toss nutrient rich kitchen scraps into the compost pile, instead of into the garbage can. Be kind to Mother Earth, and reduce waste. The Environmental Protection Agency has great composting information on their website.

There are many Bay Area Workshops on how easy home composting really is. Even if you live in an apartment, a small worm box can do the job! The Central Contra Costa Solid Waste Authority (CCCSWA) sponsors upcoming classes in several cities throughout the year. CLICK HERE for the complete 2012 schedule. All classes are FREE of charge!
