Spent Sunday afternoon, June 6, at the Guiterrez-Hubbell House for the Food Festival. Master Composters had a demonstration table at the permanent compost area on the grounds. We had over 100 people stop by and visit. The weather was over 100 degrees so my cute little wigglies had to stay at home as they cannot tolerate temperatures in excess of 80 degrees very well.
Many of the questions we got were related to how to set up a compost system. Those of us maning the table agreed that there seems to be a lot more interest in composting than we have ever experienced before. I would be interested in hearing what my readers have to say about this. My next post will give some pointers on how to begin composting at home.
My next demonstration will be at the Los Poblanos Organics South Farm on this Saturday, June 19 from 10:00 a.m. One of my fellow Master Composters and I will be conducting a two hour class on composting basics. It is free but registration is required. For a syllabus and to register go on their website. Hopefully, I will be able to bring my worms to this class as the weather has moderated some.
