May 4-10 is International Compost Awareness Week, hosted by the US Composting Council ( www.compostingcouncil.org) and others in Canada and the UK. For local resources, including fact sheets on home composting topics, visit the Compost Education Program online at: http://counties.cce.cornell.edu/tompkins/compost/index.html
Beginning in June and running through October, free monthly classes to help you "Compost with Confidence" will be offered from 12-1 pm on the last Saturday of the month at the Compost Demonstration Site at Ithaca Community Gardens (near the Farmers' Market). Master Composter volunteers from Cooperative Extension will provide information and give hands-on demonstrations to help you set up and manage a composting system in any setting. Each class will cover the basics of composting to teach you how to manage a successful system with minimal effort. Registration is not required - just show up!
