Sunday Sifting Party!
Sunday, October 9, 1:00 to 5:00 pm, in the C4B garden at Newkirk Ave and East 8th St.
Food scraps go into a bin, and a few weeks later, a rich organic fertilizer called compost comes out, right? Wait–we missed a step: Sifting! Come join other volunteers to help bring the “black gold” through this last step of the process. No experience necessary, and we provide gloves! Questions? compostforbrooklyn [at] gmail.com
