23rd Annual Roadside Clean-Up Day Report
Plant Exchange Day, May 22, 2010
Thank you David Kyle and Shirley Bershad for all your hard work. In your own words, "There were hundreds of plants exchanged, there was much discussion of plants, friendships may have been forged. The new location under the trees worked very well. The Environnmental (Commission) people had a display of invasive species which seemed to generate interest; they seem to be all around us."

COMPOSTING
A compost bin can be purchased at your local garden supply store or you can make your own. Compost is most commonly made from household garbage, yard and kitchen waste. Making compost reduces landfills while improving your plants and trees without causing polluting run-off from fertilizer. If you have quantities of manure from horses or livestock, composting your manure is an important farm management practice.
