"Making dirt look good: Compost as a natural soil amendment" Maureen "Mo" Fitzgerlald. The meeting on February 14, 2012 starting at 6:30 PM at the Bastrop Public Library, 1100 Church Street, Bastrop. The program is: "2011 took the life out of your lawns and landscapes. Come and learn how to refuel your gardens with compost. Webster's defines compost as " a mixture that consists largely of decayed organic matter and is used for fertilizing and conditioning land". The organic matter can come from leaves. grass clippings, branches, cardboard, paper, food and manure. Organics by Gosh has 4 varieties of compost available. Each one is made from a blend of natural materials collected from Central Texas. We have a large commercial composting operation that accelerates the natural process of what you would find on the forest floor. We will discuss uses for compost for your lawns and gardens. Topdressing is a finer compost mixed with sand specially designed for lawn recovery. We will have samples of compost and topdressing at the Lost Pines Garden Club meeting. Bring your questions and soil samples. Now is the time to help Mother Nature mend from the devastation in 2011! Come, enjoy, and bring a friend. | Club Support of "Bastrop Family Crisis Center
