Entrants can

spend the rest of the summer perfecting their composting mixes. Last year,

Carol Benjaminson of Tyrone submitted the winning entry. She swears that

horse manure was the ingredient that distinguished her entry from the

others.

Entries will

be displayed at the Fayette County Fair in September.

If you haven't

tried your hand at composting and wish to enter, phone the Fayette County

Extension Office at 770-460-5730 ext. 5412 and the Master Composters will

get you started.

"We hope

you visit the compost demonstration site in the Braelinn Shopping Center,

behind the Kentucky Fried Chicken," said Sondra Edwards of the extension

office. "This Peachtree City site explains how to compost and is

open everyday to anyone interested in composting."

The compost

contest is open to Fayette County residents and you must call the Fayette

County Extension Service to enter. Contest rules and requirements will

be mailed to those who enter.
