Can’t wait to roll up your sleeves and start digging in the garden?

Campus Dining and Shops is celebrating Earth Week by offering all members of the UB community nutrient-rich soil amendment, free of charge, for use in flower and vegetable gardens or as a compost supplement.

The soil amendment is a blend of pre- and post-consumer food waste from UB dining locations. The mixture contains scraps from fruits, vegetables, coffee grounds, breads and meats that have gone through an Eco-Smart® Food Dehydrator system.

Free containers of soil amendment — you can also bring your own containers — can be picked up from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. April 16-20 at the Statler Commissary, near the Center for Tomorrow on the North Campus.
