Not sure how to set up a composting bin in your yard? You may have questions:  How much dirt? How much green matter?  How often do I water it? Will it smell and attract critters to my yard? What’s allowed? What’s not allowed?

We have the answers to your questions! Two composting experts from the Illinois Extension will present a talk on Wednesday, May 8 at 7 pm. Come join us and bring your composting questions!
