Choosing the Right Home Composting System for You

Want to compost food and yard waste at home? Let the experts at Tilth help you get started.

Are you trying to live more sustainably?  Have you wanted to start composting your food or yard waste at home but didn’t know where to start?  Then this is the class for you!

You will learn the differences between food and yard waste composting and the do's and don't's of each method. We will show you some of the many compost bins available locally and help you decide which is best for your family.  Special attention will be paid to worm bins, food digesters, such as the Green Cone, compost tumblers, multiple-bin and single-bin compost systems.

Class participants will receive plans for building several compost systems as well as referrals to local organizations selling inexpensive bins.  You will leave armed with the knowledge and resources to implement your own home composting system.
