For most, the gardening bug only hits in spring. That means gardens have been given minimal attention during fall and winter

The impact of converting 6 million tons of organic materials is equivalent to reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (carbon dioxide) by 737,731 metric tons or consuming almost 83 million less gallons of gasoline.

There is no reason why your flower garden can't look beautiful in fall and winter.

There's nothing like fresh herbs from the garden. Enjoy them in fall and winter by planting now. Add already sprouting chives, cilantro, dill, fennel, lavender, parsley and rosemary.

While July is typically too hot to add most vegetables and flowers to the garden, some plants do surprisingly well when planted in the southern California summer.

Longer daylight hours and typically mild weather makes June the ideal month to plant, prune and make changes in the yard.

Temperatures in the 70s are the norm for May in southern California so being outdoors in the garden for extended periods is a pleasant experience--before the heat of summer kicks in.

After a rainy winter, now is the time to take steps to make sure garden and landscape soil is ready for spring planting.

Spring officially begins March 20 but there is no need to wait to start planning and planting your spring garden and landscape projects.

Agromin has now converted 5 million tons of green waste into compost since it began operation in 1993.
