Composting workshop

The Warren County Conservation District will host a composting workshop from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Thursday, May 17.

“Learn about the amazing world of food scraps and yard waste,” a WCCD release said. “And not just any food scraps and yard waste, but your food scraps and yard waste, and what it can do for you.”

“Learn about how to turn this potential waste into a useful product for your yard and/or garden,” the release said. “Learn about the basics of composting and how to build your own compost bin.”

There is no cost to attend the workshop but registration, by calling 726-1441 ext. 1 or by email at smoore@wcconservation.net, is appreciated.
