Continuing with composting

5/31/2013

0 Comments

 
One of the major projects we have going on at the site these days is creating a massive heap of compost  that will provide gardeners with fertile soil to grow their produce. We started our "compost plan" almost immediately after the land use agreement was finalized (April 5th) in order to get going on this timely project. Compost generally will take about six months to reach its full potential... so working on preparing the compost before the garden is open to the public is a must! Earlier this month the HdV crew and many volunteers built a compost structure on the site and have since been "working" the compost heap almost daily to ensure that it is mixed and rotated properly while given ample time to bake in the sun. 

At HdV we have been extremely fortunate in receiving support from local grocery markets and other businesses with our composting efforts. Keeping our compost organic is a must for HdV so we pack our compost with tons of fruit, vegetables, woodchips, and spent grains that businesses such as Brog Produce, Carniceria del Valle 909- 984-5056, Claremont Craft Ales, Inland Empire Regional Compost Authority, La Verne Brewing Co., and California Arbor Care have generously donated for our cause. As we continue our composting efforts we are reminded that compost is essentially the base of all things that will grow in the garden and therefore would like to send HUGE THANKS to all the businesses and volunteers who have helped with this mega project
