These free workshops are open to anyone interested in learning how to successfully start and manage a backyard compost pile in Colorado. Backyard composting is an effective way to reduce a household’s carbon footprint and provide quality compost for use in gardens. Learn how to start and maintain a highly efficient backyard compost system by knowing what to feed your compost pile, appropriate bins and methods for our geographical region, tips and troubleshooting, and more. These workshops are hosted by RCD and taught by Melanie Nehls Burow, a Colorado Master Composter. Learn more about the workshops and register by visiting www.BoCo.org/CompostWorkshops
