Composting organic materials offers numerous benefits for both the environment and your garden. DUG’s composting series focuses on how compost, when used as a soil amendment, improves soil structure, enhances nutrient availability, and supports healthy plant growth. By recycling organic waste, you reduce landfill contributions, cut down on methane emissions, and create rich, fertile soil that retains moisture and supports diverse plant life in a healthy soil environment. Come learn how to build sustainable, thriving soils right at home through methods like backyard composting, vermicomposting with worms, and using compost tea.
Cost: DUG’s Pay What You Can policy ensures our workshops are accessible to all. A $5 minimum fee secures your spot, while the suggested price covers the true cost of the workshop. Participants are welcome to pay more or less based on their means to support DUG programs.
