| Interested in attending a composting workshop?
Landscape refuse, such as leaves, grass clippings and trimmings, accounts for up to 20 percent of the waste being put into landfills (Source: UGA). The good news is that soils can often be improved and made more productive or conditioned by simply adding compost derived from organic matter like grass clippings, vegetable scraps and leaves.
