Gorge Green Drinks August: Worms and Castings and Compost Tea oh my!
Date: August 12, 2010 5:30 PMLocation: Gorge Grown Farmers' Market, HR Middle School
This month, we're keeping it wholesome with non-alcoholic drinks at the Gorge Grown Farmers Market. It's summertime, which is also growing season, which results in lots of yard and garden waste that could be converted to valuable compost for next summer's garden if you had the tools and resources to do so. August Green Drinks looks at some of the Gorge's coolest compost businesses. We'll hear from Dirt Hugger, a new company working to get a commercial composting facility up and running in The Dalles. We'll also learn about Parkdale-based Alpaca Garden's compost tea. And Fresh From the Farm, based in Carson, will show off their compost kits so you can get started composting at home or work. We'll convene at 5:30 p.m. (a little earlier than normal). We hope you'll join us to get your hands dirty in what's bound to be one of the most educational and practical Green Drinks to date.
