Composting is nature's way of recycling. Use our resources to learn how to turn your yard waste and kitchen scraps into nutrient-rich soil amendments for your garden and mulch for landscaped areas.

Learn to Compost at Home

To help Woodland Residents learn how to compost, we have the Backyard Composting & Vermicomposting Guide which will take you step-by-step through building your pile, what to and not to add, and even troubleshooting any issues! 

Free backyard compost classes are offered intermittently through the Yolo County Master Gardners. Visit the Yolo County Master Gardeners website for information about classes,  composting, water-wise gardening, native plants, and other gardening tips and tools!
