Avon Library Hosting Forum On Backyard Composting

Avon Free Public Library

AVON, CT — Sometimes the best fertilizer comes from the backyard for home gardeners.

And on Tuesday, April 30, the Avon Free Public Library is hosting a virtual program on just that ... backyard composting.

The program starts at 2 p.m. via the Zoom platform.

"Adding compost to gardens each planting season can protect the soil structure, feed the soil with nutrients, and promote soil microbes," wrote the library in a release.

"This talk will discuss how to make compost with kitchen wastes, fallen leaves, and lawn clippings in backyards."

Hosting the program is Dr. Yonghao Li, a plant pathologist running the Plant Disease Information Office at the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station in New Haven.

He has more than 30 years of experience in gardening, disease diagnostics, and pest management.
