COMPOSTING AT THE GARDEN

Compost helps to keep our garden organic by providing structural improvement of the soil and preventing the need for artificial fertilizers.

The garden composts its waste and accepts material from neighbors and from the Park Slope Food Coop. You must be a member to compost. Compost contributions are encouraged and appreciated and we ask contributors to follow a few simple guidelines. The compost deposits rotate between bins, and the bin that is currently in use will be written on the board outside the tool shed. Please only deposit compost in the bin designated for compost at that time.

Remember to:

• chop your compost material at home

• cover it with sawdust after you dump it in the bin

• close the bin securely (with bricks) when you are finished

If you want to learn more about compost, please contact us for a quick question, a tour or training. Compost contributions do not entitle members to harvest from the garden. Please do not pass the combination along to friends or roommates.
