To the Editor:

This letter is in reference to your editorial “Composting: A call to action” in the April 16 edition.

The Cornell Cooperative Extension Master Gardener Volunteers of Albany County maintain a Home Composting Demonstration Garden at 24 Martin Road in Voorheesville. They have a place where you can bring your compostable scraps from home.

Acceptable items include fruit and vegetable scraps, coffee grounds, crushed egg shells, and paper tea bags without stables. Unacceptable items include baked or cooked foods; grease and oil; animal waste; dairy products and eggs; and meat, fish, bones or corn cobs.

On Saturday, May 30, the Master Gardeners will be having our annual Garden Education Fair and Native Plant Sale from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. There will be tours of the Compost Demonstration Garden where nine different methods of composting will be demonstrated. There will be many other activities as well.
