This is a lively introduction to residential composting given by Brian Hicks, a Master Gardener from San Francisco and San Mateo Counties. Much of what is hauled away from your curbside green bin can instead be kept and converted into compost, by you. Whether you have a small yard, or just a tiny, cool spot to place a worm bin, this presentation will help you get started on composting. We'll describe ways you can turn kitchen scraps and/or a variety of yard debris into valuable compost, so that you may use this free, high-quality soil amendment to enhance your landscape, garden, or container plants.
Brian is a retired computer scientist & geophysicist who joined the UC Master Gardener program in 2024. He has been composting in his backyard for over 15 years, encouraging the use of Earth’s existing natural processes to improve soil and garden spaces. He is also interested in macro photography, particularly when capturing intersections within the natural world, such as between bugs and plant-life.
