 Hello everyone, I'm Alicia Woodruff and welcome to the Fort Worth Report. So today I am here at the Fort Worth Botanic Garden in the compost outpost with Debbie Branch to talk about composting. So tell us what is new and what is it that you need to tell us about composting. All right, great. We have three great things that help Fort Worth residents learn more about composting, especially falls a great time to think about it because the leaves are falling. So we have the first thing is we have this compost bin. This compost bin is as you can see it folds up so it'll fit inside any passenger car and when you open it up it looks like the one right behind us. You can reserve this compost bin online on our website and then it's for Fort Worth residents and it'll be charged $44 and some change to your water bill the following month and then they pick it up on November 10th. So that's your first opportunity to bring composting to your backyard. The second opportunity is you think well I've wanted to do that but I don't know how. Well here at the outpost we have master composters that will teach anybody how to compost on the second Saturday of the month and that third opportunity is we have a master composter class. We have a great instructor that's November 1st, 2nd and 3rd and with that class with the cost of that class you get one of these compost bins. So there's three great opportunities to bring composting to your own backyard which improves your soil and it just has a whole host of benefits to to your gardening endeavors. The City of Fort Worth is again offering the very popular green 50 gallon recycled plastic ivy rain barrels through rainwater solutions at the same low price of $58. Order and prepay for rain barrels online. Print the receipt and pick up your rain barrel from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. November 10th at America Recycles Day to be held at LaGrade Field Parking Lot. For more information about rain barrels or the compost bin just visit the city's website.
