I have been using a compost bin for years, and thought that I knew everything about composting. I attended the composting for beginners class with a friend, thinking that it would encourage her to get involved with her garden. But what a surprise it was! The class was so informative, and I found that there is so much more that I didn't know. I really recommend that people make the time to look into the courses available, The home composting for beginners class was time so very well spent. Thank you to the instructor and to Lenister farm for accommodating the class.
