About the Workshops
Backyard composting is an effective way to reduce household carbon footprints and provide quality compost for use in gardens. Come learn how to start and maintain a highly efficient backyard compost system by learning what to feed your compost pile, appropriate bins and methods for our geographic region, tips and troubleshooting, and much more. The workshop will cover each of the following topics:
• Cleaning up the vegetable garden
• Getting perennials ready for winter
• Winterizing your backyard compost pile
• Preparing for spring composting
This workshop is taught by Master Composter, Melanie Nehls Burow, along with Boulder County Master Gardener instructors. Workshops sponsored and hosted by the Boulder County Resource Conservation Division. *Soil saver compost bins are available for purchase at cost ($60); arrangements can be made with Michal (they/them) at mduffy@bouldercounty.org.
