Culver City Observer -

Culver City Public Works along with American Organics is holding a free of charge compost giveaway event in the parking lot adjacent to the Bone Yard dog park in Bill Botts Baseball Field and Playground located at 9710 Jefferson Blvd,

The event is being held this Saturday, November 8 from 9 am to 4 pm or until the compost is gone.

This is a self-haul event so bring a shovel. Residents are responsible for shoveling and bagging their own compost.

Compost is ready to go, but recommended to be mixed together with topsoil or another gardening fill. For best growing results, a 60/40 split (60% topsoil and 40% compost) is recommended.

The compost material is OMRI Listed (Organic Materials Review Institute) and licensed by the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA); it is approved to be used in agricultural operations that are certified organic under the USDA National Organic Program. For more information call (310) 253 6400.

Access to the area is at the Jefferson Blvd and Duquesne Street cross light. Drive up the hill entrance before the dog park to the parking lot.
