Note: we only used a half an ounce of gas to power the chainsaw. Hee Hee had fun.

Thanks Alessia!
Earth Matter inaugurates its Bushwick Composting Station located in the Secret Garden at 9 Linden Street, in Bushwick, Brooklyn, NY 11221.
On Saturday, November 10th, 2009, we processed about 1382 lbs of food waste, 77% of which was from the Fort Greene Composting Project. There were lots of pumpkins in our mix, wonder if it will smell extra pumpkin fresh when we use the compost generated this spring to plant vegetables for the Bushwick Farmers’ Market.
Thanks to all of the volunteers for helping with the design and buildout of our first system here, a four bin 100% rodent proof 4.2 yard array. We are especially, thankful to Joe Chavez, Andrew Casner, Sean-Michael Fleming, Mr. Joseph, and the Linden-Bushwick Garden for making this four year dream a reality.
Adam J Schwartz, who ended his Central Bushwick walking tour at the Secret Garden, and then stayed to load our first bin. Great Job Adam.
This sight accepts food waste from members and the general public for a suggested donation ($1+) on Wednesdays, from 11AM-3PM and on Saturdays, from 1PM-3PM yearlong.
