Composting Reference Materials
 RCM's
own experience confirms the findings of a 1993 survey of Winnipeg
residents by Prairie Research Associates -- access to practical
how-to information is one of the most important elements in increasing
participation in backyard composting. Consequently, RCM has developed
a series of reference materials found below.
The factsheets are in PDF for easy printing and distribution.
You can also call the Compost Infoline for a FREE copy. We will
be happy to mail, fax or email one to you.
