Sebastopol giving out compost March 12

The Sebastopol Climate Action Committee is hosting an organic compost giveaway on Saturday March 12. This free event is open to the public, compliments of the City of Sebastopol, Sebastopol Climate Action Committee, Zero Waste Sonoma and Napa Recycling & Waste Services. 

Compost applied to garden beds and around trees will boost plants with nutrients as well as replenish the soil microorganisms and organic matter which in turn improves soil health and carbon sequestration. This is very important during droughts. 

 

“After applying the compost from the Sebastopol fall give away I went from watering my garden every other day to watering once a week,” said Terri Moon, a home gardener.

Home and school gardeners are invited to come to the compost pick up site with COVID-safe masks, shovels, gloves, a tarp and a car with containers or a pick-up truck prepared to load their own compost. Volunteers will be on hand to assist with parking at the compost site. People in need of loading assistance should email the hosts prior to the event at
