Hello
family. My birthday is Feb 26. I would like to do a compost run to
celebrate with you. There are certain places that Los Angeles County
makes compost and mulch available to the public for free. One such
place is Griffith Park. Compost from Griffith Park is nicknamed Zoo
Poo. It's animal excrement and other decaying organic matter. The
mulch is the same except no animal poo poo.
Yards love this stuff. One of our resolutions is to get a bag a day for the year for our yard. My estimate is we've gotten about 31 bags so far, which keeps us on track.
I would like to rent a van or pick up from U-Haul on 2/14. We would fill it up with burlap sacks full of compost or mulch, whichever is available, but preferably compost.
The picture is from a previous compost run. You get the idea.
Would you join us? If you're up for it, make sure to wear comfortable clothes that protect your body. The stuff will go everywhere. If the thought grosses you out, you might want to bring a surgical mask as well because it will get in your teeth. It will be under your nails. Flies will follow you around for days.
You might not like it at first, but the experience will stay with you. It gets under your skin, so to speak. You'll ruminate about it, and feel strangely drawn to manure piles afterward. You'll dream of compost runs and start planning them. This is something I would like to share with my family.
