Guest Speaker Tom Matulewicz, Master Gardener from the Rutgers Master Gardener Program spoke about composting. Composting is a controlled , aerobic process that converts organic materials into a nutrient-rich soil amendment or mulch through natural decomposition. The end result is compost which can be used in vegetable gardens, lawns, around trees, shrubs, and flowers.
This recycling of food waste takes it out of the waste stream keeping it out of the landfill.
An Earth Machine composter was donated by Tom Arnone, Monmouth County Commissioner for the club to raffle.
