The Berkeley Community Gardening Collaborative will be giving away compost on Saturday July 21 at the Berkeley Farmer’s Market as part of “Sustainable Agriculture” Day. Berkeley residents can bring a bag or bucket to Center Street and Milvia to be filled with compost from their own yard debris that is collected by the city every other week. 

The compost is made in Modesto by Grover Compost Company. Most is sold, but by request of the city, 15 percent is returned to Berkeley. In past years the compost has been delivered to school and community gardens but will be offered to individuals for the second time this year.
