Compost Demonstration May 4 at WGC Meeting

Did you know backyard composting can be as easy as following a recipe? Kaleena Miller, extension agent for Jefferson and Madison counties will demonstrate the recipe for a successful compost pile at the Whitehall Garden Club’s May meeting on Wednesday, May 4. That is next week! As it will be May, our weather will be heating up which is crucial for composting. This is a very timely program.

The program will include an actual DEMONSTRATION. That’s right, Kaleena Miller of MSU Extension is going to lay down a tarp, measure out the essential ingredients, add the correct amount of liquid, and mix. You will have the opportunity to see and touch as well as hear what goes into building a successful backyard compost pile. There will also be time for a robust question and answer period.

All are welcome and encouraged to join us in the Borden Conference room Wednesday, May 4th. Hosted by Janet Chapman and John Carlson, food and fellowship begin at 9:30 AM. The club’s business meeting commences at 10:00 followed by Kaleena's Backyard Composting program at 11:00 AM. I am very optimistic that I will finally create a successful compost pile after attending Kaleena’s presentation. You can too!
