Backyard Composting Basics

In this webinar, you'll learn how to compost successfully - whether you're starting for the first time, or are a compost veteran. We'll cover cold composting, as well as active and passive management techniques. You'll leave with strategies for jump-starting an old pile, keeping smells down and animals out, and how to compost safely during this time of COVID-19.

We'll also review Vermont's food scrap ban from the landfill, and other options for managing food scraps in addition to home composting.

This webinar was part of CAV’s 2020 ICAW Program.
