The Civic Garden Center of Greater Cincinnati and the Hamilton County Solid Waste Management District join forces to provide you with three weeks of intensive training that teaches every aspect of composting.  Learn about a wide array of topics including: where to locate a compost pile, which type of compost bin is best for you and how to build it, how and when to turn your compost, the fascinating biology of a compost pile, and how to incorporate compost into your existing garden.  Students will each build and take home a wire compost bin, and have the option to make a vermi-composting system for a nominal fee.  

 

Fifteen hours of volunteer service is required to complete the course.  Students have one year from the last class to complete their hours.  There are a number of volunteer options to suit your needs and aspirations!
