It has allowed us to make compost more efficiently without the hassle the old one used to. We used to have to roll a metal bin around on the ground to mix the compost, but now, thanks to you, we don't have to do that anymore! The club even had a great time assembling the bin together, so in the end we even got a lesson in teamwork out of it. Compost is so important to our gardening process and the balance we have with other classes like culinary is how we keep our school community connected and close. \r\n\r\nWe thank you once again, we are more than grateful for your kindness.
