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.
Norval A. Wilson says
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
