Join Solana Center for this 2-hour workshop where you will learn the basics of traditional backyard composting. Using trial-tested advice and demonstrations, our experienced educators will teach you all you need to know to get started with a bin that fits your needs and lifestyle.

In this workshop, we will cover:

• Various types of compost bin options and how to pick which one works best for your needs

• What tools and materials you’ll need

• Which items are compostable and which to avoid
