ABOUT THE EVENT
Homeowners and community gardeners are invited to learn about sustainable composting practices in the next program in the “Community Gardening around the Village” series, hosted by Phoenixville Public Library. On Thursday, November 12 at 7:00 PM, Tom DiMauro, a trained Master Composter and middle and high school science teacher, will present, “Backyard Composting 101: Purpose, Process and Problem Solving”.
During his talk, he will: describe yard waste and food scraps you can and cannot compost in a backyard; help you understand some of the basic science of how a compost pile works; compare pros and cons of different compost set-ups (like tumblers, closed bins, 3-bin systems made of wooden pallets, open piles, etc.); lay out the correct steps for maintaining a healthy and productive compost pile; identify different ways we can use compost; provide solutions to common problems with compost piles; and help you appreciate the importance of different bacteria and fungi in our compost.
