Backyard Composting Workshop- In-person

presented by the Dept. Of Environmental Protection

Learn about the process and how to use your backyard composting bin. Transform your grass clippings, leaves, and garden prunings into sweet-smelling material that naturally enriches the soil.

When you compost, you create an environment for organisms to break down carbon-rich "brown" material, such as dried leaves and wood chips; and nitrogen-rich "green" material, including grass clippings and flowers. The Wheaton Library is a distribution site for the free backyard trimming composting Geobin, provided by the County.
