King County’s clean-water utility is hosting a booth at the Northwest Flower and Garden Show, Feb. 23-27 at the Washington State Convention Center, to share information about the benefits of biosolids products for landscaping and vegetable gardens.
Employees will be giving out free samples of GroCo, a high-quality, nitrogen-rich compost made with biosolids produced by King County’s treatment plants in Seattle and Renton. Unlike many other composts and manure products, GroCo doesn’t have an offensive odor and texture. It’s easy to use, extensively tested for health and safety, and offers a slow release source of nutrients to nourish both plants and soils.
People who stop by King County’s booth will also be able to talk to soil scientists and urban farmers from the University of Washington, Seattle University, Alleycat Acres, Goat Hill Giving Garden, Tacoma’s TAGRO program, and Grow Local Tacoma-Pierce County to learn why biosolids compost is rapidly becoming their product of choice to promote lush plant growth and increased yields.
Additional information is available on our website or by calling 206-684-1280 or 711 TTY Relay.
