On behalf of gardeners across Southern California, we'd like to thank Billy and his LA Zoo cohorts for their contributions to our gardens. Their gift just keeps on giving...
We’ve got a dirty little secret. There's a new FREE compost giveaway site in LA, and its mix contains the creme de la creme of composting: "Zoo Doo" from the LA Zoo. Off-Ramp correspondent Jackson Musker gets the scoop (okay, several scoops) from LA Bureau of Sanitation’s Rosalia Rojo and Jim Kurz. (Read on for directions and operating hours of the new giveaway site...)
Jim Kurz of the Bureau of Sanitation informs us that the Mission Road Compost site is open on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9-5, except for a 1PM-2PM lunch hour. There is no limit on the amount of compost you can take home with you.

Just want to clarify that 10 yr old girls and women-girls have an equal opportunity interest in talking about and hearing about poop - evidence not only the equal opportunity enjoyment of bathroom humor in media like movies and TV, but also the number of voracious female composters... no need to apologize to the ladies in the car as far as I am concerned.
