FREE: Winter composting
Gardening General
2-hour online class. Composting outdoors works great during the spring, summer, and fall. But what can we do when the winter hits? Lisa Howse with the Saskatoon Compost Coaches will share tips and tricks to get the most out of an outdoor compost in winter, as well as alternative indoor methods.
Free 2 hour, live-streamed class provided through our Healthy Yards Partnership and funded by the City of Saskatoon. Any one from anywhere is welcome to attend, however you must register to get your log-in information.

Format
This class is offered in an online, live-stream format that you can access from your computer, phone or tablet. Your distance class will include your instructor and their presentation live on-screen and the ability for you to ask questions through the course chat. You will not receive a recording nor handouts for this class, but we're confident you will get good educational value.
We've tested the technology in recent classes and our students report that it is quite simple to use both on computers and on personal devices like tablets and phones. We will send you instructions one hour before the class along with a contact help you in case there are any issues connecting. It's been remarkably stable for everyone with a strong internet connection. If you have a weak internet connection you might have audio problems, though we've only had this issue with people in isolated areas. Since there is a call-in option for sound, you will still be able to hear but you may not be able to see the instructor and slides if you have a poor internet connection.
