The second and final chance to get free compost for your gardens and landscaping is on the horizon.

Mark Saturday, June 1 on your calendar to load up the truck with containers to collect up to 30 kg of the nutrient-rich substance. The compost will be available in the upper parking lot of the Cochrane RancheHouse on RancheHouse Rd. Shovels will be available for use and information sheets containing handy tips will be available. It's scheduled to run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

About 20 tonnes of compost was given away at the May 11 event, says Bertolo. There were line-ups in the morning that eased to a steady pace in the afternoon.
