Compost Ambassadors Wanted!
Bentley, do you want to become a compost ambassador? I just came across an article over at News Wales, and Pembrokeshire is looking for enthusiastic residents to become Master Composters. The Master Composters would encourage their local communities to participate in home composting. I wonder if the Waterloo Region has a similar program. I would nominate Bentley in a second.
The Master Composter programme has been developed by Garden Organic (www.gardenorganic.org.uk), one of the UK’s oldest standing environmental charities. Previously known as HDRA (Henry Doubleday Research Association), Garden Organic is involved in scientific research and development work, the provision of advice and information and the promotion of organic food, farming and gardening. All Master Composters will become members of Garden Organic, which has Prince Charles as its patron and more than 32,000 members.
I hope Pembrokeshire has great success with the program. I wonder if our community has a similar program. Perhaps I will do a bit of research this morning and see what I can find out about similar programs around Ontario.

Funny guy! Yeah - maybe I should move to Wales!
Seriously though, thanks for the kudos. I have not heard of a Master Composters program in our area, but it’s definitely an interesting idea!
Just the fact that I’d be able to add “Compost Ambassador” to my resume would make it completely worth it!! LoL
