Backyard Composting Basics with Doreen Pollack

Most people hear compost and think yuk! But your plants and garden thrive on it. Compost not only provides a source of slow-release organic fertilizer, it also boosts the community of microorganisms that helps keep plants healthy and improves water retention. And compost is good for the earth too! By tossing some of what you would normally throw away into your compost bin, you can reduce what you send to the landfill up to 40 percent! Learn composting basics for any type of urban backyard setting.

Does anyone want to carpool? I'm at Thunderbird Road & Scottsdale Rd. Since I'm a volunteer I need to be there early (6 pm).
