The Mulch Store, A specialized Environmental Technologies company (SET) took care of all the trash, compostable trash and recycling from May Day last year and this year! They sold compost this Saturday at Powderhorn Park, near the dumpsters in the parking lot. They have some left over and left it there for us to bring to the garden!! Please, bring the wheel barrow down their and fill it up for plot. If you want to bring up more for others in the community garden please do.
We are getting compost from SET https://www.mulchstoremn.com/ soon! I will be putting an order in tomorrow, Monday May 13th! Stay tuned for when it will be delivered. We will need your help bringing it into the garden form the street or alley roads.
