Composting presentation will include instruction and discussion on yard waste & worm composting. We will discuss: identification of proper organics, bin types, composting process and benefits of compost. Worm composting discussion can also include hands on bin activity with real worms! This is a great opportunity to do an experiment- organic vs. manmade decomposition.
