Composting is a little like baking a cake. There are some basic science principles required to successfully create compost in the shortest possible time but the rest is art, allowing you to create a composting setup that works for you. The WSU/Lewis County Master Recycler Composter volunteers invite you to attend a basic composting class. There will be an opportunity to ask questions about your own composting challenges as well. Participants who call (360)740-1216 and pre-register by 5 p.m. Sept. 9, will have a free compost bin reserved for them. (One bin per family please.)
