Compost Demo Garden

23 May 2015
27 Jun 2015

Where: WNC Farmer's Market, at Jesse Israel Garden Center, 570 Brevard Road, Asheville, NC.

Time: 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Buncombe County Master Gardener volunteers maintain a compost demonstration garden to teach visitors composting techniques and answer their questions. There are four different composting methods on display—a single bin unit, a tumbling composter, a three-bin method, and vermiculture. The volunteers tend the site from spring to late fall using green and brown materials gleaned from vendors at the WNC Farmers Market. Literature on why and how to compost is available. Master Gardeners educate the public as to good gardening practices using research-based information provided by the North Carolina State University Extension Service.
