PLEASE NOTE: In the autumn of 1995, we hatched the idea for a free, local gardening publication. The following spring, we published the first issue of Michigan Gardener magazine. Advertisers, readers, and distribution sites embraced our vision. Thus began an exciting journey of helping our local gardening community grow and prosper.
After 27 years, nearly 200 issues published, and millions of copies printed, we have decided it is time to end the publication of our Print Magazine and E-Newsletter.
The Detroit News:
In the age of urban farming, organic compost made from manure is a valuable commodity.
That’s why two Detroit start-ups say they have hit compost gold after striking deals with the Detroit Zoo and Detroit Police Department’s Mounted Patrol to be their major suppliers. In two different parts of Detroit, two outfits are cultivating the big heaping piles of this product.

Some suburban communities give free compost to its residents annually. I was wondering if the city of Detroit did the same? If so, where can I get some.

Norval-We checked into this and, unfortunately, the city does not provide free compost. There is an organization that is called DIRT http://detroitdirt.org/ that do composting and other programs. Thanks for reading! -Jonathon
