Anthony Longo, Vaughn Anglesey, Karen Lee and other members worked hard in the heat of late July and August to update and enlarge our compost area. We were very fortunate to have $250.00 of scaffolding lumber donated from Build It Green. So our compost area is also partially made of reused materials. The updated RIGC system now provides enough mass in the outdoor piles to bring the temperatures up to 140 degrees Fahrenheit and beyond. This is great news for killing weed seeds. Certain slats come out to make work much easier for moving the materials.
Bring your new materials (greens and browns) that overflow from composting in your own plots. Kitchen scraps (fruits and vegetables) go in the black tumblers.
Please do not add any plastic or plastic bags or use them anywhere. Recycle your grocery bags at Gristedes.
Anthony spends about 20 hours a month working with the Compost Area. Karen Lee also spends many hours helping out. All ages can help sift and prepare compost for plots. Read more at this link and join us actively next season!
