GREEN TIP OF THE WEEK (GTW)

Green Tip of the Week:  Now is the BEST time to start composting!

Why is it the best time?  Fall is back in season which means leaves are falling from the trees and summer flowers/seasonal gardens are beginning to die.  Fruits, vegetables, and other types of food also enriches soil produced from composting.  Using natural and organic materials enriches composted soil and reduces the need for water, fertilizer, and pesticides.  If you keep a small garden indoor or outdoor, those plants will love those extra nutrients.

Happy composting!
LIVE WELL.  LIVE PURE.
