Compost Harvest, Saturday, 4/20

Aloha Compost Club Members and Guests,

The APRIL COMPOST HARVEST will be held this Saturday, April 20th, starting promptly at 10:30 am at Kainalu Elementary School in Kailua.  As always, we’ll have it done in an hour and you’ll be on your way by 11:30. We’ll be harvesting two beautifully-finished piles.  It takes plenty hands – please invite friends and neighbors to join us!

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 gets 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 small-sized gloves.

CLICK HERE TO RSVP IF YOU PLAN TO JOIN US THIS SATURDAY.

Mahalo!
