Learn why to compost — and how — with a Master Composter
Let’s help get food and yard debris out of the waste stream and into the earth — where it belongs. Connecticut Master Composter Caroleen Frey will give us all the details: how to get started, how to maintain a healthy compost, what setups are available; and will encourage all of us to do our part to recycle and reuse our food and yard waste.
