A composting workshop will be held Saturday in Torrance to encourage reuse of green waste.
Sponsored by Los Angeles County and the city of Torrance, the workshop will be held from 9:30-11 a.m. at the Home Garden Learning Center at Columbia Park, 190th Street and Prairie Avenue.
Composting reduces waste, saves money, conserves water and restores nutrients to the soil for a healthier garden.
Attendees will learn about ways to reduce and recycle their yard and kitchen waste by:
Composting – The natural way to replenish the soil using decomposed yard waste and kitchen scraps.
Grasscycling – Leave clippings on the lawn to add nutrients to the soil and save water.
Worm composting – Create great compost by letting worms recycle kitchen scraps.
Water-wise gardening – Reduce water use and yard trimmings by planting drought-tolerant and low-maintenance plants.
Compost bins, worms and worm bins provided by L.A. County will be available for purchase after the workshop.
