- click to enlarge. Our compost learning center was built through
the combined efforts of Girl
Scout Troop #7551, the Eagle Scout project of Ryan
Dees and a grant from the Hamilton
County Solid Waste Management District. The compost center is
the site of our "hot" compost pile. This is where we compost a combination
of garden waste, leaves and some  leftovers from the cafeteria. There
are supplies in the green barn (i.e.clipboards, Frisbees (to hold compost)
magnifying glasses and compost thermometers) that can be used with composting
lessons.
