I wanted to inform the residentially-green-minded folk on this forum ::
There is a composting seminar taking place this coming Monday, March 8th [6-8pm] at Great Sage Restaurant [located in Clarksville, MD].  The pioneer of organic farming in MD, Rick Hood, will be presenting and will cover the basics of composting, how it's made and the best ways to utilize it.  There is a fee of $20, and with it, attendees get the talk, refreshments from the awesome vegan/organic restaurant and a gardening goodie bag!
Call 301-774-1344, and ask for Kate, to register.

It's notable that an evening should be made out of this, especially if Clarksville is a trek. Roots, the organic grocery market, is right next store. Also adjacent to Bark!, the natural pet food/accessory store, and Nest, the amazing eco-friendly clothing/gift shop is next to the restaurant, where the talk is held, has an awesome array of bamboo/hemp/organic cotton/et al clothing and shoes, baby gear [including the newer modern-cloth diapers, in 2 brands], stainless steel bottles, a great and comprehensive book/card selection etc etc etc. [www.nestnaturalhome.com]
ALL worth a stop!
even if not for the talk.

Also notable, especially on this forum, is the wide expanse of knowledge, and not to mention sincere passion, that all of the staff has.

All located in their "Conscious Corner" at 5809 Clarksville Square Dr. Clarksville, MD 21029
