Learn all about composting - whether you want to use a worm bin inside, or a larger bin outdoors - from Master Composter Sandra Blain-Snow, with the Ocean County Department of Solid Waste Management. Composting not only creates a rich, natural fertilizer for your garden, it saves critically important space in the landfill. 
Blain-Snow talks about the best ingredients to add to your compost bin - fruit and vegetable scraps, newspaper, coffee grounds, leaves, and more - and what to leave out - including meat and dairy products. She also discusses the many joyful benefits of spending time in the garden.
The New Jersey Shore is known for its sandy soil, and adding compost greatly improves it. With support from the Board of Commissioners, the Ocean County Department of Solid Waste Management holds multiple composting workshops every year, where each participant receives a free composting bin. Also offered is a free, 15-hour Master Composter Training Program, that goes into greater detail about the process: https://www.co.ocean.nj.us/oc/solidwaste/frmMCP.aspx
