Compost Site Update- Opening for Season Delayed

Compost Site Update: Due to the amount of snow and quick melt, the Area Compost Site is currently a mud pit. Public Works needs to be able to get in there with equipment to prep the site before we can open for the season. This weekend's forecast is not looking good for helping this situation. We are in a holding pattern until further notice, and will 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.
