What to do with it all? ALL the money? No all the waste.
Creating waste could be seen as a liability but we like to think we've turned it into an asset. We strive to compost all our vegetation waste either through vermicomposting here on site or removal of the large stuff to our composts piles off site where waste is turned to compost and returned to the earth where it's needed.
We have regularly scheduled workshops on composting with worms led by our master composter Erik Kintzel.
Erik will take you through the process of starting your own worm composting project at home. We figure we are able to divert a couple of tons a year from landfills. Even our staff kitchen has a bucket.
Our goal is to recycle all we can at Greensgrow and promoting composting -from spring bulb die off all the way down to our Christmas trees.
