Compost has many positive benefits when used in our gardens and landscapes. Most people try what they think is composting but often end up with trash piles. This training is meant to help explain the correct way to home compost as well as the added benefits of its usage in the garden. It will include practical applications of composting for the home gardener with the science behind it all, which in turn, benefits us all and the environment in which we all live.

To be eligible for this training an individual must possess an up-to-date Extension Master Gardener certification or be an employee of the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service. The application must be approved by their local County Extension Agent/Program Coordinator. This Extension Master Gardener Volunteer Advanced Training is designed to train and certify Master Gardeners to become part of a state corps of Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service Compost educators. To become a Master Gardener with Advanced Training in Compost, you are required to attend the training, fulfill the training requirements, and subsequently meet the service requirements described below. Training activities during the course will empower Extension Master Gardeners to complete these service requirements.
