The composting workshop held on Saturday the 17th got off to a bit chilly start, but the sun was out and everyone warmed up at the end. John Avery told us how much and what makes good compost. One of the Tri-County Master Gardener group, Duane Gabriel, had lots of experience of composting in different ways and let us in on his secrets. We ended up by selecting “volunteers” so that Marylin Odneal could do a hands-on demonstration of how to operate compost tumblers as well as leaf shredders.
