My name is David, I'm working with Durham's Dept of Solid Waste for the
summer. In a nutshell what I'm doing is helping with the creation of a
compost demonstration site at the Solid Waste Center in Durham. Part of
my job is designing informative signs to educate people who visit the
site about composting. I'm wondering what types of things I should be
putting on the signs.

What I have for signs now:
*What compost is
*What to use compost for
*Common myths (if you think of any, please pass them on)
*Common problems and solutions (again, please pass along any problems
you've had and how you solved them)
*Descriptions of various bins (including pros and cons of each)

When finished, the layout of the site will include the following:
*A plastic bin
*A tumbler
*A concrete block 3-compartment bin
*A chicken wire pile
*A pallet bin
*A worm bin

Also on the site will be an outdoor "classroom" setup. Creating lesson
plans based on age and level of experience. Eventually we hope to be
able to accomodate everyone from children to folks who are curious
about starting their first pile to master gardeners. Any ideas for
things to include in these lesson plans would be great.

I myself am fairly new to composting, but I'm quite enthusiastic about
learning more. Thanks in advanced for anything you contribute to making
this project happen.
