Please join the Master Gardeners of Nevada County for a free, outdoor workshop. The Master Gardeners of Nevada County are excited to present learning how & why to make your own compost – whether you are new to composting or have composted for years, we can help you get the most out of your green & brown waste. Learn about bins, mounds, vermiculture and compost tea. Nitrogen, Carbon, Water and Air make the magic happen. Bring your questions and we will help you improve your compost. There will be a quick tour of the MG compost garden area to help you with ideas for your own compost adventure. We will also share our favorite composting tools to help you make the process easier.
