Rain Barrel Compost/Worm Bin Sale
All items are $20. Cash Only. While supplies last. No pre or post event sales.
To encourage the use of recycled content material and more efficient use of water, the City is offering discounted recycled plastic rain barrels. In addition, start backyard composting with a compost bin to save resources and money
Composting is a natural process that turns yard waste into rich soil. Once the material decomposes, rich soil is all that it left. Worm bin composting is an efficient way to convert kitchen scraps into nutrient-rich compost for your garden. Simple to assemble, and can be stored inside or out.
