Compost This!

Taught by Lucy Dinsmore, Rosarian, Morris Arboretum
This class will demonstrate the how’s and why’s of making compost and compost tea for your home garden. We will start by exploring the variety of materials available to compost and the methods used for building bins and storing these materials at home. We will build a compost pile together, so that you can easily replicate it at home. We will also demystify the idea of “compost tea” by exploring the equipment used at the Morris Arboretum and demonstrating the brewing process. Participation in handling the compost materials is optional, so dress accordingly if you plan to get messy. This course meets at the Horticulture Center at Bloomfield Farm. Enter the Arboretum on the road opposite from the public garden entrance. Park in the parking lot and follow the signs to the Horticulture Center.
