All participants will need to sign a waiver upon entering the event. About the Miramar Greenery: At the Miramar Greenery, compost is made from yard trimmings and food scraps that have been ground, placed in windrows, turned and watered for 70 days. During this time, microorganisms digest the carbon and nitrogen rich mixture, causing the windrow to sustain temperatures of 140-165 F. This process eliminates most weed seeds and pathogens while breaking down the organic material into beneficial soil nutrients. Finished compost is screened to a particle size of one-half inch or less which also removes film plastic from the final product.

In San Diego, where soil lacks many essential plant nutrients, mixing compost in with the soil is one of the best things you can do for your yard and garden. Note: This event will occur rain or shine, however if severe weather occurs the days leading up to the event, the event will be rescheduled or canceled. If needed, registrants will receive electronic communication as soon as possible before the event. This event is made possible by the City of San Diego Environmental Services Department and facilitated by I Love A Clean San Diego. I Love A Clean San Diego on Facebook / Instagram
