Compost Harvest, Saturday, 5/18
Aloha Compost Club Members and Guests,
What a rewarding way to spend an hour on a Saturday morning! The MAY COMPOST HARVEST will be held this Saturday, May 18 starting promptly at 10:30 am at Kainalu Elementary School in Kailua. As always, we’ll have a pile or two done in a flash and you’ll be on your way by 11:30.
We welcome new people, so come check it out, and feel free to invite family, friends, co-workers, and neighbors. First-timers, there is no obligation whatsoever. We just love to wow people with our extraordinary, artisanal, hand-crafted compost – nutrient-rich, microbially active – simply the best and the absolute pride of our Zero Waste School Hui.
Enter the back gate off Kainalu Drive – you’ll see a sign. We’ll open up at 10:00 am.
To become a Compost Club member, all you have to do is spend one hour volunteering at any 3rd-Saturday harvest plus purchase $20 worth of compost (two 5-gallon buckets), which you can carry away with you that day or pre-pay for a later pick-up. You’ll be included on the e-mail blast for future scheduled harvests and other events.
The primary benefit of Compost Club membership is being able to purchase compost at $10 per bucketful at any monthly harvest – rather than wait for the public sales in January and June – whether you volunteer that day or not. Master Gardener trainees: For this reason alone you should seriously consider becoming Compost Club members. Please join us at this Saturday’s harvest!
In addition, for every hour you volunteer at a harvest you earn a point, and three points get you a bucket of compost for FREE.
The third great benefit is the fun and camaraderie at every harvest – it’s easy and satisfying!
Suggested attire: gardening clothes. Closed-toe shoes are a must and do bring gloves if you have them. We have plenty of gloves in all sizes.
CLICK HERE TO RSVP IF YOU PLAN TO JOIN US THIS SATURDAY.
Mahalo!
