Local Living Venture gardening workshop series to give tips on composting system Sept. 24

Posted

The upcoming workshop will be held Saturday, Sept. 24, from 3 to 5 p.m.

Lomastro's system involves no turning of the pile, the downfall of most would-be composters. Participants will leave with a very clear understanding of how to run the simplest, yet high-performing, compost pile with the least amount of effort involved.

The group will be versed in the "makin', bakin' and takin'" of yard waste and food scraps. The group assembled will create a working pile that can also be visited later to see how it's heating up.

A tour of the home's riverside landscape garden, that has utilized so much of the rich compost soil, is included. This workshop continues to be a perennial favorite, in terms of attendee evaluations, and was the first workshop ever put on by the LLV in 2010.

Attendance is limited to 12 persons, so an RSVP is necessary due to limited session size.

There fee of $22 general, $40 couple, $10 student benefits Local Living Venture workshop creations, with scholarships available by arrangement.

To register, email LocalLivingVenture@gmail.com and include phone number(s) and the number in the party to receive the location and directions.
