Composting Class
When: Tuesday, May 21: 10:00 – 11:30am
Where: First Baptist Church of Maggie Valley (3634 Soco Road)
Composting is the process by which microbes convert organic materials, leaves, kitchen scraps, and garden waste into a valuable product which, when used on gardens, lawns, and houseplants, results in healthier plant growth. Composting also reduces waste, improves soil structure, adds nutrients to the soil, and suppresses plant diseases, weeds and pests.
Presented by Bonnie Refinski-Knight, an NC State Extension Master Gardener℠ volunteer. After the presentation, participants will see an example compost bin.
