Free compost in So Westchester?

| Can anyone recommend sources for free compost? I plan to start making my own but will need several cubic feet to start my garden come spring.
I'm new to the area - I would also be interested in recommendations for garden centers and nurseries in Southern Westchester or the Bronx - I've been to Nabell's in Mamaroneck and Sprainbrook. I'm interested in organic gardening and landscaping/lawn care, and plan to start a vegetable garden with the Square Foot Gardening method this Spring.
Thanks,
Mark |

| Free? You could check the local land fill, I've gotten composted leaves from one but you can't count on it being organic, it's just leaves and maybe grass clippings. I used to be able to get free mushroom compost (from the plant across the road which no long exists) and free horse manure by just cleaning out a stall or two. Lately, most places want to sell the stuff. Good luck with your search. |

| Mark, Any luck with the compost? I am in Tarrytown and I too am starting a Square Foot Garden. |

| Best to answer your own questions around here, apparently. On May 16 they will be giving away compost and selling compost bins at cost for $20 and $40. |

| If anyone had the answer, it would have been posted, obviously. As I am in Dutchess county, I don't keep track much of what goes on in southern Westchester or north Bronx. Thanks for providing the update. |

| Though this farm wants a weekly hauler, interested folks can inquire if they could obtain a haul, or go to farm themselves and pick up. I couldn't find the location of the farm, but I suppose members of the site have access to such information. |
