Attend this informative presentation to learn tips and tricks about the science and art of composting. Yard trimmings, leaves and other landscape waste can be combined with kitchen waste in the composting process to create fertile, organic matter that can be added to soil, mulch and potting soil to help your plants flourish. Composting is nature's way of recycling...actively helped along by you! The Florida-Friendly Landscaping™ Program is here to help you learn how to have healthy and beautiful landscapes that protect Florida’s natural resources by following nine science-based principles:
• Right Plant, Right Place
• Water Efficiently
• Fertilize Appropriately
• Mulch
• Attract Wildlife
• Manage Yard Pests Responsibly
• Recycle Yard Waste
• Reduce Stormwater Runoff
• Protect the Waterfront
A Florida-friendly landscape can be designed to look the way you want, fit the aesthetics of your community, and suit your lifestyle, while being environmentally sustainable.
This lecture is presented by Kate Kaste, Program Manager, Florida-Friendly Landscaping Program, UF/IFAS Extension Pasco County.
