1. In-person Composting Workshops - in the event normal social gatherings and interactions will return to normal and will be permitted by local, state and federal authorities. These workshops will follow recommended and/or mandated local, state and federal authorities best practices for social gatherings and interactions. These will be 3 hour workshops at different community garden locations in Carlsbad. They will also be streamed live online.
2. Online Live Webinars - in the event normal social gatherings and interactions will not be permitted in-person, the workshops' experience will be recreated via online live webinars.

WHY COMPOST?
Composting yard and kitchen organic waste saves money, saves resources and reduces negative impacts on the environment. Using compost improves soil health, fertility and water retention capacity.
Composting Saves Money & Resources
Composting yard and kitchen organic waste saves money, saves resources and reduces negative impacts on the environment. Using compost improves soil health, fertility and water retention capacity.
Composting Saves Money & Resources
- Homemade compost reduces the need to buy chemical or other fertilizers for gardening needs
- In the garden, compost improves the capacity of the soil to retain moisture longer, so less irrigation is required and less water is wasted
- In the long term, less waste in curbside bins means less utility costs and taxpayers money needed for landfill operations and expansions
- Composting at home keeps a valuable resource out of the landfill (40% of residential waste is compostable organic material)
- Less waste transported to landfills means less carbon dioxide emissions from the associated vehicles being used
- Less organic material in the landfills means less methane gas produced by improper anaerobic decomposition at these sites
- More homemade organic compost produced means less use of chemical fertilizers that runoff into our rivers, lakes, streams and oceans
- Less waste buried at landfills means less groundwater pollution
- Composting returns valuable organic matter back into the soil to support further plants and food growth
