Learn About the "Benefits of Composting" and How to Buy it "Dirt Cheap"!

As always, Bobbi Waters did an outstanding job teaching local residents about the “Benefits of Composting” at Pinecone Perennials.

Bobbi is the Planner and Community Outreach Coordinator for the Coastal Environmental Partnership (CEP) for Carteret, Craven, and Pamlico Counties.

Last year, Bobbi gave me the grand tour of CEP’s Tuscarora Landfill and I learned all about composting and wrote about it here. Buy it "Dirt Cheap" at $30 per ton or a minimum of $1! Where else can you get high quality compost for that amount of money...the best part - it's all recycled yard clippings!

I also had the opportunity to meet Wendy Graveman, co-owner of Pinecone Perennials, and learn more about this beautiful nursery. Wendy and Bob Graveman work year round in their greenhouses and farm in Ft. Barnwell to produce local plants, flowers, trees, and more.
