Join us for a series on sustainability with Sandy Gunderson from the Becker County Environmental Services. This month we will be focusing on composting.

Are you interested in learning more about composting? If you have a yard that generates almost any kind of green waste, you probably have the right ingredients and enough room to set up your own compost bin. We will look at different styles of composting to help you better understand which style works for you. Backyard composting, worm-composting, pocket composting, and more! Composting is easy, and with it you can cut down your garbage, as well as create a mixture that can be used to improve the soil. Discussion will include containers, location, worms, food, and more. You will leave with a better understanding of nature’s recycling process. 

This is part of our Sustainability 101 series that will feature a different topic on the first Tuesday of the month at 7:00 p.m. through December.
