Compost Courses and TeleClasses for Composters


What is a Teleclass?
A teleclass is a way of taking a seminar without ever leaving home.

It's a lot like a conference call where everyone dials into a phone number at the same time using a regular phone. You pay for the long-distance call, but no conferencing fees. The phone number, along with some guidelines for getting the most out of your teleclass, will be emailed to you after you register for your teleclass. You'll have the opportunity to ask questions or engage in discussion with other composters.

What is an Online Course with Teleconference?
The Online Course will consist of materials you either read (text/photos) or watch (video) online. The teleconference is a conference call where all those taking the class can call in to ask questions, discuss the material, and exchange ideas. The teleconference differs from the teleclass in that there is no formal presentation on the call before discussion and Q&A begin, so the calls are usually planned for 30 minutes.

"Which compost bin should I buy?" is a common question that presumes there are a few good bins on the market that are better than the rest. The truth is that there are many great bins. No single bin suits everyone. The bin that will be optimal for you depends on your individual needs. New composters (and some that have been around a while) may have difficulty identifying "what they need".

The way to build or buy the bin that has the highest value for you is to match your needs (which are based on your individual habits and environment) with bin features. This course will help you to define your needs so that you may choose the bin that is right for you. Register Today!
