SF Urban Agriculture Resources

Hello Presidio Community Gardeners-
I wanted to pass along more valuable resources available to you. If you can't meet me when we have compost give-aways, here are more opportunities. I'm pretty sure you need to bring a way to transport the material (i.e. buckets, bins). -jean
