An introduction to home composting webinar will be held from 5:30-7 p.m. Tuesday, March 11, via Zoom through the University of Maine Cooperative Extension. Edwin Remsberg
In this workshop participants can learn the science behind compost formation, how to “feed” their compost pile, and how to use finished compost in the garden. Participants will also consider different styles of home composting, from traditional wooden bins to nimble tumblers.
This workshop will help interested home composters find a system that’s right for them, whether they have a yard or a small back porch.
Nick Rowley, UMaine Extension sustainable agriculture and horticulture professional, will lead the workshop along with Carrick Gambell, Extension urban agriculture professional.
The cost of the workshop is on a sliding scale from $0-$15. Visit the program website umaine-extension.formtitan.com to register by Monday, March 10.

We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
For those stories that we do enable discussion, our system may hold up comments pending the approval of a moderator for several reasons, including possible violation of our guidelines. As the Maine Trust’s digital team reviews these comments, we ask for patience.
Comments are managed by our staff during regular business hours Monday through Friday and limited hours on Saturday and Sunday. Comments held for moderation outside of those hours may take longer to approve.
