REASONS BACKYARD COMPOSTING SHOULD BE ON YOUR LIST: Making your home garden flourish should be a priority, especially if you are concerned about the cost of food prices. Take a little time out and tune into the combined presentation on June 21, 2022 at 7pm by The Windsor Conservation Commission and the Garden Club online presentation featuring Dr. Yonghao Li Title: Backyard Composting Simply put, compost is actually what you get when organic material (like food scraps, leaves, and (if you choose to include animal products) decomposes properly. It's a nutrient rich, dirt-like material and natural fertilizer that can be used to enrich soil and nourish growth. Many people have realized the merits of having a backyard composting bin to make their gardens flourish and thrive. Adding compost to gardens each planting season can protect soil structure, feed the soil with nutrients, and promote soil microbes. This talk will discuss how to make compost with kitchen wastes, fallen leaves, and lawn clippings in backyards. Speaker: Dr. Yonghao Li is a plant pathologist running the Plant Disease Information Office at the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station in New Haven. He has more than 30 years of experience in gardening, disease diagnostics, and pest management.    | ||||
