Bagged green waste sent to the landfill will not turn into compost. Let leaves, branches, kitchen waste (fruits, veggies, coffee grounds, coffee filters, tea bags, etc.) and junk mail decompose naturally, which will save landfill space and produce a great growth stimulant for your garden.

Worms will be in attendance at a composting workshop, according to Composting and Vermicomposting Instructor Wilma Nakamura. Worms will eat your food waste and junk mail and create a great soil amendment.

Learn how easy composting really is at a workshop scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 9, from 9:30 to 11 a.m. at the MOA center, 164 Kamehameha Ave. in Kahului.
