Is your home composting not working as expected? Are you considering setting up a composting system? Margot Wise will set you up for success. Margot will start by introducing her current community composting projects in Holyoke and Florence, and then give a brief crash course on how to compost at a home or neighborhood scale, including options for different types of systems.

The second half of the workshop will be dedicated to answering your specific composting questions and troubleshooting issues. Whether you’ve been composting for decades or have yet to start, the Compost Clinic will give you the tools to compost with confidence.
