Composter Help

We are in the process of bettering the compost system in Butler. It is a little up-in-the-air as to how this is going to be accomplished as it takes a lot of community cooperation to make this successful. Because we, as gardeners, are directly affected by the compost situation, we ask that you do what you can to get the word out and encourage your neighbors to use the composters, but most importantly, to USE THEM PROPERLY. Misuse of the composters is the biggest problem and communicating to all Butler residents the proper way to compost is not easy. We ask that you follow the new guidelines (posted on the signs at the patio and near the garden) to better our compost and continue to replenish the garden with the nutrients it needs.

We will try to reach out to new residents as well as current residents to make sure everyone is aware the composters exist. Composting is an important part of our organic garden since we do not allow synthetic fertilizers to be used. GOOD compost is essential for high yields and the necessary nutrients plants need to grow.

Please take the time to help individuals you may see at the composters. Pass along the knowledge and express the importance of Butler-wide participation.

Thanks. For more information, please visit the Butler website, 'Garden & Compost' http://www.princeton.edu/~butlerap/gardening.shtml for further information.
