Master Gardeners are masters with compost!

 The Good Cheer Garden is a WSU Compost demonstration site showing different ways to create nutritious compost from yard, garden and food waste. Each year we are fortunate to host the Master Gardeners trainees for their compost class.A big thank you to WICEC (Whidbey Island Community Education Center) for providing warm indoor classroom space for instruction before going out to the garden to see the Good Cheer Garden's cold compost bins of varying shapes and sizes, and the in-ground, above-ground and garbage can-style worm bins in action. Then, to get hands-on experience, the Master Gardener trainees helped turn the compost, and separate the finished compost from the compost that still needs a little more time.Thank you future Master Gardeners!
