Home composting is a great way to recycle kitchen and garden waste. Compost (also referred to as humus) is the dark, earthy, soil-like material resulting from the natural decomposition of organic matter. It is nutrient rich and great for conditioning the soil for houseplants, container gardens and the landscape, not to mention a fantastic substitute for commercial fertilizers. Composting at home is not only a rewarding landscape asset it is vital to reducing the large amount of waste sent to landfills.

| What's in bloom? |
 Russian Sage - Perovskia atriplicifolia: A late summer blooming perennial with violet flowers and grayish-green foliage. This large perennial is 3 to 4 feet tall and makes a great backdrop for lower perennials and groundcover. This drought tolerant plant makes a great addition to a large sunny planting bed and pairs well with black-eyed susan, coneflowers, ornamental grasses and sedum.
