- Green Brooklyn & What's the Dirt on Compost Givebacks in Brooklyn?
- Mar 5, 2008 6:48pm (1 review) environment, nyc, brooklyn, green, compost http://greenbrooklyn.com/journal/whats-t...
- It's getting to be that time of year. Breaking out of Winter hibernation, starting to think about Spring. To some Brooklynites that means it 's time to start thinking about the community garden, landscaping the yard, and other green thumb activities. Reader SG poses the question, "Where I can get some good compost and topsoil for my co-op"? So we dish the dirt at GBK. Hope you dig it. Spread the word. That's it, I'm all out of compost puns. Enjoy.

Over 15,000 organically-grown plants; each one planted, pruned, and harvested by hand. Soaps, lotions, oils, lip balm, candles, etc, available online or at 3R Living in Park Slope, Brooklyn.

- NYC to use oysters to treat water downstream from a wastewater treatment plant. Each oyster can filter 5 - 50 gallons of water per day.
