Creating Our Compost

Composting doesn't look pretty in the beginning, but the end result is golden!

How would our community garden benefit from a compost? Composting fruit and vegetable kitchen scraps and brown lawn litter like leaves is a cheap, if not free, way to create a nutrient rich amendment for our gardens. It's the organic alternative to store bought fertilizer. 
We're going to use the knowledge we gained from workshops and site visits to create a composting area in the community garden. Not only do we need your help with the lifting and building aspect. We also want to share with everyone how our compost system works, and what we need to do keep the compost working. We really hope everyone can make it this Friday.
