Free Compost in DeKalbd county: DeKalb County Public Works collects landscape debris and composts it. The compost is piled at four sites in the county. The biggest pile is near the Central Transfer Station, across the street from the county jail complex at Memorial Drive and I-285. for more info: How to Get Free Compost | Walter Reeves: The Georgia Gardener Do a google search for "Organic Farms (your county, GA)". Call them and ask for a recommendation on a place to buy good organic amendments for your garden. edit: Farmer D Organics (they have amazing organic compost) \t2154 Briarcliff Road Northeast Atlanta, GA 30329 (404) 325-0128 Also, go to the farmer's market and ask around. You'll get some good tips on where the best spot for organic products is. edit 2: Herron Farms \t83 Hickory Trail Dawsonville (706) 531-4789 They've got worms and bunnies, and look like a great source of vermicompost and rabbit manure. Great website, seem very helpful. I'd definitely call this guy and asking him for a good organic supply store in your area, I'm sure he'd give you a good recommendation. Back to the Garden Inc. \t140 Hancock Road Athens (706) 353-7645 Back to The Garden Inc. www.backtothegarden.us/ Looks like they are producing good organic compost. If you call any of these smaller places and ask, I'm sure they can help you find what you need.
The biggest pile is near the Central Transfer Station, across the street from the county jail complex LMAO!! This has irony written all through it! M!zzNikki, please get your compost from this pile...LOL
ITG i was hoping i wouldn't be bothering you any more today. you've already given me so much invaluable information. i'm actually on my way to one of them while on my way to vote. lmao sam, thats where im going
I think I remember Fun Time Gro Hap was somewhere down that end of The States and used to use Farmer D's products very successfully. Look around for that brand, too, Nikki. J
Farmer D's compost is the bee's knees. It's impressive stuff, and not manure-based, which I like a lot. You should be able to find it easily, and you can always get it at their store in Atlanta. They collect the green waste from Whole Foods and compost it, along with peanut shells, cotton gin waste, granite dust, chicken litter, peat humus, and a biodynamic preparation that's full of accumulator plants like dandelion, yarrow, and stinging nettles. After trying forever to find a way to get Coast of Maine compost shipped here without spending an arm and a leg, I was so excited to find this Farmer D's. They also sell dry organic fertilizer and other stuff along those lines. How's that free compost? Does it seem to be good quality stuff? I wonder what's in it.
Lol it's the recycle type (certain container on trash day) compost. Sounds like good stuff, looked like good stuff. Never knew it was there HA thx, still hunting for a store. Will call the stores u listed tomorrow. Thx again.
Welcome to the organics help center of love and wonderful info Nah but really. Glad to see another Georgia grower. Welcome nikki. Im not far from you at all
I'm sorry to have jacked your thread........at one point in time, the poster that Jerry referenced had used a quote from a post that Jerry made as his sig and it was my feeble attempt at some inside humor. Again, sorry..... http://forum.grasscity.com/organic-growing/1048340-humanure-coming-nicely-3.html#post14792860
I was in the middle of researching ur suggestions ITG and Jerry when I got poked with a branch lol, thnx for the explanation Chunk. i dont usually respond that way, but i was like "what the what?!?!" lol..its all good.... but Farmer D's seems to be the spot. thnx so much...think I may turn this into my organic thread.
O....M....G...do you know i was googling FUN TIME HAP LMAO! I thought that was the store...sad thing is...I have not even lit up yet. Let me get Thnx for the link Chunk lol
Yeah, Hap is good dude and we got a little mileage outta the quote......especially with the topic of the thread I linked. Haven't seen him in a while Glad ITG got you hooked up down in your part of the country. You're in good hands here for sure, Sometimes I've got a dry sense of humor but by and large I'm harmless Chunk
