RAIN BARRELS ~ VERMICOMPOSING BINS ~ PET WASTE DIGESTERS


RAIN BARRELS



Did you know? One inch of rain falling on a 1,000 square foot roof produces 600 gallons of runoff!

A single rain barrel captures 55 gallons of roof runoff that can be used to irrigate gardens, wash cars, or bathe your fur baby, helping to prevent soil erosion, reduce flooding, and protect aquatic ecosystems. Two or three barrels can be connected to capture overflow from first barrel.

WORM BINS


Vermicompost benefits the environment by reducing the need for chemical fertilizers and decreasing the amount of waste going to landfills.

Called "black gold" by gardeners, vermicompost enhances plant growth, suppresses disease in plants, increases porosity and microbial activity in soil, and improves water retention and aeration. 

PET WASTE DIGESTERS


America's 83 million pet dogs produce 10.6 million tons of poop every year! Pet waste digesters help reduce harmful pollutants such as nitrogen and the harmful bacteria, E. coli, from entering our waterways.
