Backyard Composting Education Site Backyard Composting Education Site Come and visit the backyard composting education site in Highland Park. It is located adjacent to the picnic pavilion parking lot on Montreal Avenue, just east of Edgcumbe. If you are planning your own backyard bin, visiting the site may help you decide which kind of bin will work best in your yard. Backyard composting workshops are offered at the education site. Workshops are taught by Master Gardeners, and Saint Paul residents can buy a low-price wire mesh compost bin if they attend.
Compost is nature's way of recycling.
Organic materials, such as your yard waste, are broken down by bacteria and other organisms to provide nutrients and structure to the soil.
