Project snapshot

Grow Brooklyn Green is building a new compost system for Bear’s Community Garden, incorporating double wire and a rat-proof brick pad with protective layers. The project’s goal is to establish a community space for composting food scraps and supplying gardeners with top-notch composted soil. By addressing rat-related concerns through the design of the system, the initiative ensures a safe and effective process while seeking assistance from local businesses and community groups to obtain essential materials like cedar wood and critter wire.
