One of the good things about Lawrence. Pretty sad when the best a town has to offer is compost. What does that say about leadership?

Can't go wrong there. I was just tilling a lady's bed this morning. Good compost would have been welcome. Don't forget about the ” mulch ” drives. it's not free, but it's worth the drive and a little muscle. Bless the Green Things !!!!
