Compost Happens class at the Dunwoody Nature Center on Sat Aug 27th


The problem with the soil in Dunwoody, ( not everything is perfect in Dunwoody ) is that we live either on a mound of Georgia red clay or on pieces of Stone Mountain. Clay and granite do not make for very fertile gardens, vegetable or ornamental.

The best way to enrich your gardens and yards is by adding organic materials to the soil. The best way to accomplish that is by adding compost. Go by Home Depot and price a bag of compost. Why spend that money if you can make it yourself by using the yard waste that you currently are putting in brown paper bags and leaving at the curb.

Head over to the Dunwoody Nature Center and learn all about this black gold, August 25th from 10:30 -11:30. Go to www.dunwoodynature.org to register
