Composting Courses and Free Bins in Rockland

July

Want to learn how to turn your kitchen garbage into good garden soil?

The Rockland Cornell Cooperative Extension is again offering free composting classes and bins. (They got a similar grant two years ago – hey, why not Westchester and Putnam?)

Basically, you just attend one of the classes and get a free bin afterwards. (You have to prove you live in Rockland County).

According to Donna Cooke of Cornell, here’s the schedule:

“Our upcoming Composting Classes are:
At CCE Rockland Education Center:
Wed, July 25 at 7pm (tonight)
Sunday, July 29 at 2pm
Tuesday, Aug 7 @ 7pm
Saturday, Aug 11 at 10am
For more information, all 429-7085, ext 117, or visit our website:

Also, this weekend the Master Gardeners will be holding a tour of the Demonstration Gardens at the Cornell Cooperative Extension Education Center, 10 Patriot Hills Dr., Stony Point.

The tour begins at 1 pm. Immediately following the tour at 2pm, a free Composting Class will be held, behind the building (follow the Hort Lab signs).

Donna says that additional classes will be held through the summer and fall at local farmers’ markets, libraries and other venues.
