FNGLA Meeting with Veransa Compost

The utility of compost in the landscape is well known and UF IFAS is doing research to see if there are cost and quality benefits of substituting compost as a replacement for peat.

FNGLA Tampa Chapter would like to invite you to meet one of our local composting operations Veransa for a meet and greet lunch at their facility on May 9th from 11-2 pm with lunch at the UF/IFAS Extension Office in Seffner.  See what Veransa is doing in turning green waste into very high-quality compost.  Please register with the following link.
