From SF Urban Ag: free compost, IPM class

The Urban Ag Resource Center opening for October will be this Saturday from 9am to 12pm at the Golden Gate Park CommUNITY Garden, 780 Frederick St. Come get Recology compost, soil and mulch from the Recreation and Park Department for your fall gardens.  There will also be a class on Integrated Pest Management from 10am to 11am.  

10/4 – Integrated Pest Management for your Garden

Integrated pest management, or IPM, is a process you can use to solve pest problems in your garden while minimizing the impact on people and the environment.  Learn more about how to control weeds, pests, disease and other gardening troubles in a sustainable manner from the head of Recreation and Park Department’s Integrated Pest Management team.

This class will be taught by Kevin M. Woolen, the San Francisco Recreation and Parks Integrated Pest Management Coordinator.  He has been in the IPM business for over 25 years.  Kevin is a Bay Friendly Landscape Designer and avid urban farmer.
