Nature’s bounty doesn’t end with summer. Our area is rich with wonderful oak leaves, garden cuttings, and grass clippings which seem to fill our green bins this time of year. Instead of trucking this waste away, consider turning it into “black gold”, a nutrient rich soil amendment. It’s easy and and probably the most sustainable activity for your garden.RSVP:In this two-hour seminar, learn:- Where the green bin waste goes after it leaves your house.- Why green clippings and brown leaves are BOTH essential for turning garden waste into soil.- What kitchen and garden waste can be used in the compost, and what should still be thrown away.- The tricks used by pros for quicker soil development.Presented by Lorraine Frey and Linda Gorman, trained graduates of the University of California Master Gardener program, with expertise in sustainable landscaping practices in Contra Costa County.
