Spokane Master Composters will host their Spring Compost Fair at the John A. Finch Arboretum on Saturday, April 26th from 11AM – 2 PM. Just in time for spring yard clean-up, participants will learn how to turn yard and garden debris into valuable soil amendments and reduce garbage disposal costs. The Fair is being held in conjunction with the Arboretum's Arbor Day festivities.
A variety of hands-on demonstrations will be highlighted --- including a "hot" compost pile and worm bin. Participants will learn about the materials to use in composting, how to build and turn a compost pile and how to choose the appropriate bin. Participants must arrive by 1:30 PM to complete all of the activities by the 2 PM closing time.
This event is free and open to the public. Spokane County attendees (with identification verifying residency), can receive a free compost bin (one per household) after completing the various activities.The John A. Finch Arboretum is located at the intersection of Sunset Highway and "F" Street. For more information, call the Recycling Hotline at 625-6800 or visit http://www.solidwaste.org
