Composting is a great way to reduce waste and improve your fields and gardens. 

Doug Gucker, Small Farms Educator with the University of Illinois Extension explains that they will host a compositing webinar series beginning April 2nd. He says it's for the person who wants to learn all there is about composting. 

Although throwing things in the trash is more convenient than composting, Gucker notes if we don't begin composting more the landfills will grow taller and taller with waste that could be utilized. 

Gucker points out that much of our organic food waste goes into the landfills and produces methane gas which is harmful to the ozone. Instead, people should be using their apple cores, banana peels, and other waste to improve their green thumb. 

Register for this composting webinar series by visiting go.illinois.edu/compostleader and be sure to do so before the end of this month.
