Compost Harvest, Saturday, 8/17
Aloha Compost Club Members and Guests,
The AUGUST COMPOST HARVEST will be held this Saturday, August 17th starting promptly at 10:30 am at Kainalu Elementary School in Kailua. We have two small piles in perfect condition to screen. As always, we’ll have both piles done in an hour 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.
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!
