VillageSoup previews backyard composting workshop

Liz Stanley, UMaine Extension horticulture program coordinator, and Hildy Ellis, SWCD program manager, will demonstrate a variety of techniques for making compost at home — including aerobic and anaerobic methods — and provide tips on feeding the pile with the ideal proportion of waste, water and air, according to the article. Handouts will be available for building a variety of bins, and there will be order forms to purchase reduced-cost composters and accessories, the article states. The program is free for adults and students 12 years and older. The Lincoln County News also advanced the workshop.
