She’ll also touch on composting: slow and fast composting, vermicompost, common composting problems and how to troubleshoot them.

This free demonstration is not a workshop, and no registration is required. Bring a camp or folding chair to this outdoor class.

We don’t plan to change that model. Support from our readers will help us maintain and strengthen the editorial independence that is crucial to our mission to help make Western North Carolina a better place to call home. If you are able, please support The Smoky Mountain News.
