Master Composter Sarah Everson and UW-Fond du Lac Assistant Professor of Biology David Demezas will teach a workshop on do-it-yourself composting from 9-11 a.m. Saturday.
Participants will build a bin on the campus of UW-Fond du Lac and learn how they can make compost in their backyards.
Composting is an easy way to reduce the quantity of yard waste and create a soil amendment that can be ready for your spring garden. In addition to providing nutrients, compost makes soil healthier.
Registration is not necessary. Participants can bring lawn clippings and shredded leaves they would like to contribute to the first round of compost started in the new bin.
The workshop will take place rain or shine at UW-Fond du Lac. Participants should dress for the weather.
The new compost bin will collect scraps from Linstrom's Catering and staff break rooms. The compost produced will be used on campus flower beds.
