Description:
Virginia Cooperative Extension presents a free workshop titled "Backyard Composting" on Wednesday, May 13, 2026 inside the Multipurpose Room 1 located within the Montgomery County Government Center in Christiansburg, VA with a registration deadline on Monday, May 11, 2026.

Would you like to learn how to turn food scraps and yard waste into a valuable resource for your garden or plants?

Composting can be a confusing process, until you break it down into layers. The benefits of composting include improving soil health, water retention, and less reusable waste going to the landfills and creating methane gas. By using a ‘layering effect’, compost can be created in a reasonable amount of time, with minimal effort. Even the homeowner can use the very beneficial soil amendment for house plants. A variety of ways to create and use compost will be discussed.

The workshop is free though registration is required.

The registration deadline is Monday, May 11th.

Virginia Cooperative Extension is a partnership of Virginia Tech, Virginia State University, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and local governments.

The Montgomery County Government Center is located at 755 Roanoke Street in Christiansburg, VA.
