Dr. Lynne Carpenter-Boggs, soil scientist and professor in the Department of Crop and Soil Sciences at WSU, will discuss ideal composting process and materials, as well as common limitations, realistic expectations, and appropriate uses for different composts.

 

Attendees are eligible to win a compost tumbler.
