Hope you can join Transition Monmouth for a workshop on bokashi composting this Sunday, August 4, from 11- 3 pm (drop-in format) at the Eatontown farmers' market- presented by Debbie Lee, of Green Quest.

The farmers' market is in Wampum Park, Rt. 35 and West Street (block north of Rt 71). Workshop takes place under the gazebo in the park.

...

Lee says, "Bokashi is a Japanese agricultural term meaning fermented organic matter.This system makes composting quick and effective first by creating black gold for your soil, then contributing to a healthy environment from decreased methane gas emissions and it greatly reduces the impact on landfills.

As our community becomes more aware of the food cycle and its impact on our health, common sense solutions are availed to help us stop "the use and toss mentality" that has turned something as important as food into garbage.

Farmers, Foodies and Gardeners all know that Food is too good to waste!"

Upcoming Reskilling Events- all taking place at Wampum Park, Rt. 35 and West Street.
