Spill the Dirt: The Magic of Composting
Featuring Bob Dillemuth
Tuesday, July 23, 6:30-8pm  

Join us as Bob Dillemuth explores ways you can easily recycle yard and food waste into a beneficial product that can improve your garden. You’ll learn about options for home composting, no matter how much space you have, and leave ready to join other environmental stewards, who are helping to reduce personal waste while enriching their gardens. 

Bob Dillemuth, a composting local expert, retired from LSU Office of Facility Services and worked with the East Baton Rouge Parish Recycling Office where he promoted composting as a means of recycling and waste reduction. He is a member of the EBRP Louisiana Master Gardeners, a Master Naturalist of Greater Baton Rouge, and longtime Friends of Hilltop Arboretum volunteer.
