The Soo Rocks

The Soo Rocks because we have the city compost at our disposal. Every Sat. and every Wed. those of us who live within the city  limits have access to the city compost. For those who have not yet visited nor taken advantage of this, it is located across from the World Car Dealership on Easterday. On Saturdays it's only open till 1 but on  Wednesday nights it's open till 7pm.

Many people come with pickups and trailers to take advantage of the free compost and free mulch available. But others such as myself come with 5 gallon buckets which are easier to pick up and work with. Either way, it makes for a great way to "green" your yard and it's easy on the pocketbook.

Believe it or not, I was skeptical about using this in my yard, but I was able to fill in all the holes created by skunks or racoons or whatever. And bucket by bucket my yard was filled in and it looks great. I was expecting it to become a dandelion haven - but it's not, instead, my yard has beautiful grass and no one would ever know that I used city compost rather than expensive dirt hauled in by a professional.

You can get information by contacting the city of Sault Ste Marie. They are also currently offering a limited number of vouchers for spring garbage hauls to Waste Management. I'd suggest getting down to city hall and picking up a voucher before they are gone.

           I love the Soo because the Soo Rocks!
