ABOUT THIS WEBINAR
Keep America Beautiful and the US Composting Council are partnering to bring you a series of webinars. The first webinar will be about the beneficial use of compost. The second session will be about how to compost and the third webinar will be for those wanting to learn about vermicomposting.
In the first webinar, we’ll talk about “compost the noun,” as it’s been stated by the US Composting Council. You’ll learn the benefits of adding compost to soil. You’ll also review the variety of applications for compost in the landscape including topsoil manufacturing, turf topdressing, backfill mixes, erosion control, and more. The US Compost Council’s Seal of Testing Assurance Program will also be briefly explained along with common market segments.
