Upcoming event: Master Composting class
| April 25, 2009 8:00 pm | to | April 26, 2009 8:00 pm |
‘Compost bin’ by Daryl Mitchell
A master composting class is being offered next weekend, 25-26 April. This class will cover everything you ever wanted to know about composting, including what to compost, how to compost, how to build a composting system in your yard or garden, and will also deal with other topics related to gardening. Part of the class will include a a field trip to the City of Saskatoon’s compost depot on McOrmand Drive.
Participants in the class will receive a manual, reference book, DVD, and the master composter certificate. Tuition is free, but in return you will be expected to share your newfound knowledge in your community or through community events (generally, you’re asked to volunteer for the Saskatchewan Waste Reducation Council). This class is a great opportunity to expand your knowledge, obtain a valuable qualification, and then pass on your knowledge to others. Don’t miss it!
Master Composting class
When: Saturday 25 April - Sunday 26 April

Hi Dana,
I’m not able to make it to the workshop on Saturday but I’m very interested in learning more about composting. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Hi, Caitlyn; Dana actually works for CHEP; I was just posting the information for her. I am just about to do a post about a couple of mini-composting classes that will be happening at the beginning of May, so check back in a bit.
You can also take a look at the Saskatchewan Waste Reduction Council’s composting section; they have a lot of information about different kinds of composting there.
