Short Description:
Composting is a great way to add nutrients to a garden while recycling table scraps and yard waste. Alaska’s short, relatively cool summers can make proper composting a challenge, but one can take steps to hasten the process and ensure a healthy soil mixture is added to the garden. This publication covers the most efficient ways to achieve effective composting in Alaska.
