After spending more than $7 on a 2-cubic-feet bag of organic compost at Home Depot last week and failed attempt to do traditional compost, I decided to check out this Cupertino compost site last week. I videotaped the entire experience. If you live in Cupertino, by all means, check out the place and bring home some compost for your garden. I have even gone back a second time to grab more this week! For those who don&#8217;t live in Cupertino, be sure to check if you city offers a similar service, perhaps not free but at a less expensive price tag than you can get from Home Depot.<\/p>\n<p>This compost site is located in the Steven Creek Quarry Factory or 12100 Quarry Road, Cupertino. You would need to bring your ID to show you&#8217;re a Cupertino resident and bring lots of buckets and a shovel to start digging!<\/p>\n<p> <iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XX47_dU0fAc\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When it comes to organic gardening, nothing beats the good old compost, considered by many gardener to be the &#8220;black gold.&#8221; After reading the book, &#8220;Teaming with Microbes,&#8221; I have come to appreciate how critical compost is to growing organic vegetables.
