Backyard Composting

In partnership with UF/IFAS, this program has provided residents with the knowledge and the tools to kick start composting in their very own backyards!

What is Composting?

Composting is the natural process of breaking down organic materials like food scraps and yard waste, into nutrient-rich soil amendment used to fertilize and improve the health of soil.

Educational Classes

This past summer we held educational classes at our county libraries. Our expert horticulturist taught us key lessons about the composting process and any attending county residents received a thermometer, food waste collection bin, and a geo-bin!

Participants during the Backyard Composting presentation at Hart Memorial Library learning all about how to compost at home.
