Planter boxes are a good way to go if you're low on yard space and it keeps underground rodents from gnawing away your vegetables or flowers. A blend of 50% organic compost and 50% soil substrate is ideal. It's not too late for a summer garden!

As a 30 year standing waste processing facility, we currently divert (from landfills) close to 90% of the waste that comes through our facility! We have developed specialized machinery and techniques to be able to capture and turn waste back into a resource.

Healthy soil grows healthy plants. Native California plants are also less prone to invasive pest invasion and don't generally need to be sprayed with pesticide! Photo taken at the Guadalupe Gardens water wise demonstration site.

These tiny Native CA seedlings will grow into big ecosystem supporters!
