Free Compost from SF Rec and Park- every month

Urban Agriculture Resource Centers are a free monthly service of the SF Rec and Park Urban Agriculture Program. The resource centers will have materials for all levels of urban agriculture (backyard gardener, community gardener, or urban farmer) to pick up supplies, get educational opportunities, and build on the existing informal and formal networks of garden materials and programs. Materials on site are available to any gardener in the city of San Francisco to help green and beautify the city.
To best address as many gardeners citywide as possible, the location of the Resource Center changes every month.  Free compost, soil and mulch are always available for pick up.  Bring your own container to put materials in; drive up access will be available as well.  There are limited amounts available per person.  Thanks to Recology for the compost and Rec and Park for the mulch and soil.
