September is for Composting!

Curious about composting but not sure where to start? Tried composting in the past but gave up for various reasons? In this free class from the UC Cooperative Extension Stanislaus County Master Gardeners, you will learn how to turn kitchen and garden waste into "gold" that you can use in your garden. Adding compost to your houseplant pots, landscape, or garden is extremely beneficial. We will review common problems and their solutions. The main thing to remember that no matter what you do, "Compost happens!" One lucky person from each class will take home a free composter!
