YOUR TURN: Get ready for Gaston County's mulch sale
The end of April is upon us. Hopefully you were able to make it to the last Household Hazardous Waste event of the spring, but if you missed it you can save up your materials to drop off next Sept. 21 or Nov. 16. We have started our very affordable mulch sales out at the Yard Waste Facility at the landfill. For $2 per scoop (bring exact change please, cash only) from April 27 and following Saturdays check the website for updates. This is very fresh mulch meaning you may want to cure it onsite at your property before applying it around plants you’d like to keep around. Our mulch may still be hot when you pick it up and may need more exposure to air to keep it from souring (anaerobic digestion). If you apply fresh mulch around young or tender plants, it will rob the surrounding soil of nitrogen in the effort to decompose more rapidly. Without that nitrogen, your plants will droop or wilt. But give it some time in a pile, turn it every now and then, and it will do wonders for your yard or garden.
