Composting
Composting is a simple way to recycle everyday household waste products. Common composting materials include waste such as grass clippings, leaves and small sticks, eggshells, fruit and vegetable scraps, and coffee grounds (including the paper filter).
Finished compost is most commonly used as a soil conditioner. The addition of compost to your soil will improve its properties physically, chemically, and biologically. All of these factors will result in more vigorous plant growth.
HOT Master Composters teach others that starting a home compost project is simple and inexpensive. With mininal effort you can reduce the amount of material sent to our landfills and waste-water treatment facilities (through the garbage disposal) and your plants, trees and yard will thank you for the benefits.
Master Composters volunteer for many organizations including area
schools, Keep McLennan County Beautiful, the City of Waco, World Hunger Relief,
Inc. and more. Through volunteer hours members teach composting methods and share the
benefits of recycling waste into compost.
At meetings, members trade ideas, success stories, resources, and information. Field trips also expand our knowldege of waste mananement, recycling, and composting in our region. HOT Master Composters meet the second Saturday of the month at the World Hunger Relief Farm in Elm Mott. Join us today and get in on the fun!
