Backyard and Worm Composting Workshops

Waimea Country School St. James Circle, Waimea

Please join us for a fun, interactive and informative 2-Part workshop on basic home composting. The first half of our workshop will focus on backyard composting. The second will discuss worm composting. A voucher for a free Earth Machine home composter will be given to each family participating. Help us keep Hawai?i green by composting home and yard green waste. Backyard composting doesn't have to be back-breaking or sweaty work. Learn how to do it the easy way and reap the benefit of improved soil! Composting with worms is an easy and fun way to save money and turn your kitchen scraps into garden "gold" or free fishing bait. Highlights include a "How To" demonstration on setting up your very own Worm Condo. We will also explore basic worm management, harvesting methods and more. Join us to learn about composting and worms in Hawai?i. Worms and some commercial units will be available. Call the instructor for more info. For more information, please e-mail Ann Hassler, the instructor:crazy4compost2@gmail.com or call 937-1100.
