This is similar to the bin I received in my Home Composting Class

I did get a few of my questions answered and really enjoyed seeing the different types of composters that they had on site. It was also very impressive to see the amount of nutrient-rich humus (created from compost) that they had generated at their small office.  In the kitchen, they kept a compost bucket that employees used for coffee grounds and fruit and veggie scraps. I don’t know how big their outdoor space actually is, but their gardeners contribute lawn and garden waste. As a result, they have six or eight very large compost bins filled with humus. They also have several compost bins that are “in progress”.

If you haven’t started composting yet, this is a great way to get started. They even provided the compost bin included in the $15 price of the class. They say that the price is only to cover the compost bin, so if you don’t need one, it might be worth asking if you can come to class for free.

Even if you’ve already been composting for awhile, you will probably learn something and it is nice to meet others who share your interest in composting.

I’ll continue to share specific things that I learned in class in upcoming posts.

I signed up for a Home Composting class put on by the University of Florida’s Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences through our county’s Extension Service. So far I have mainly researched composting and interacted with other home composters on the Internet, so I’m looking forward to meeting others in my area who are also interested in home composting and also to learning in person from an expert. It’s $15 for the 2 hour workshop and includes a compost bin to take home.  I wonder if I’ll have room for it. It would be fun to try another method of composting.
