Home composting class offered(Submitted by the Muskegon Conservation District) Learn how to successfully compost your grass clippings, leaves, and kitchen scraps at a new class offered by the Muskegon Conservation District. Composting organic wastes reduces the amount of garbage sent to landfills while providing a free source of valuable, nutrient-rich humus for your lawn and garden.

This class offers an in-depth look at composting in three sessions covering everything from the fundamentals (what can I compost, anyway?) to troubleshooting a problematic pile, and even composting indoors with worms (vermicomposting). The dates and topics covered are: March 17: Composting Fundamentals and the Decomposition Process. March 24: How to build and maintain a compost pile March 31: Vermicomposting and using finished compost. The classes will be held in the Whitehall City Hall (Garden Room) at 450 Colby Street from 6 to 8 p.m. The $40 registration fee includes all three sessions and a copy of the Michigan Composter Program manual.
