Backyard Composting Workshop Comes to Wildomar

Backyard Composting Workshop Comes to Wildomar The Riverside County Waste Management Department Backyard Composting Program comes to Wildomar on Saturday (July 11). Attend this free ''how-to'' workshop where you will learn, how to recycle your organic resources, fruit and vegetable waste along with the yard trimmings, into a dark, crumbly, sweet-smelling soil conditioner that will enrich the soil for your garden, lawn and house plants. Instead of putting organic waste in the garbage to be hauled to the landfill, learn to compost! The free ''how-to'' backyard composting workshop begins at 10:00 a.m. at the Mission Trail Library, 34303 Mission Trail. Composting, nature's way of recycling, is a great way to divert waste from the landfill and turn it into a beneficial soil amendment. In composting, organic material is mixed together in a pile or bin, where literally millions of tiny microbes digest the material and turn it into a nutrient-rich soil amendment. Volunteer master composters will explain how to create compost easily and efficiently from organic wastes. Low-cost compost bins will also be available to Riverside County residents at the workshop. If you require reasonable accommodation, please call our main office at least one week before the event.
