The Farmers Market composting demonstration site, located next to Jesse Israel & Sons Garden Center, opens for demonstrations on May 3, 2025.
The site is staffed by Extension Master Gardener volunteers and provides demonstrations and answers questions from visitors from 10:00am to 1:00pm on five Saturdays, during the growing season, May through September, 2025. The dates for the demos in 2025 are: May 3, June 21, July 12, August 9, and September 13.
There are five different composting methods on display at the site. There is a single bin unit, a tumbling composter, a wood pallet bin and a classic 3-bin system — we also usually bring an example of vermiculture (composting with worms) on most demo day. The site is stocked with informational pamphlets on the how-to and why of composting.
