The Richland Soil and Water Conservation District partnered with the Environmental Education Association of South Carolina on a compost education booth at the Palmetto Tasty Tomato Festival July 23.
Composting is a great way to reduce food waste and landfill trash while creating a soil amendment for home and community gardens.
This year’s festival, held in the Cottontown area, included live music, a tomato-tasting, kids’ activities, sustainability talks, and vendors representing the arts, agriculture and sustainability.
