Port Angeles Main Library

Raymond Carver Room

Start composting in your own yard.

Learn how to turn your yard and kitchen waste into a rich soil amendment at this 3-hour workshop.

Composting is a natural process in which organic materials decompose to recycle various organic minerals that would have otherwise gone to waste. By balancing carbon-rich browns with nitrogen-rich greens, you can turn your yard and kitchen waste into a rich soil amendment. Not only is it beneficial to your soil, but composting is the single best thing you can do to reduce the impact of the organic waste you produce.
