Compost Site Update- Opening Date Delay Extended

Compost Site Update: Our Public Works went out to the Area Compost Site this morning to assess the situation, and unfortunately it is still a mud pit. Public Works is hoping to be able to get equipment out there next week to prep the site, which needs to be completed before we can open for the season. The weather continues to thwart our progress.

We are in a holding pattern until further notice, and will continue post updates on Facebook and our website.

Following are some tips for early spring lawn care: what you can do, and, most importantly, what you should wait to do. Remember, with all things gardening, patience is a virtue! Don’t rush onto your lawn. Wet soil and newly emerging grass plants do not mix well with foot traffic and lawn rakes! Resist the temptation to clean up your lawn too soon.  Trodding on wet lawns can compact the soil and damage plants just breaking dormancy.  Raking when the ground is muddy can uproot plants and create bare spots, allowing weeds to take root and thrive. Rake when the soil dries out and “mud season” has passed.
