Free leaf mold available for pickup on March 27 and 28 at the municipal yard
Residents of the municipality of Staphorst can pick up free leaf mold on Friday afternoon, March 27, and Saturday morning, March 28, at the municipal yard. Leaf mold can be used to enrich the soil in your (ornamental) garden.
The municipality of Staphorst collects the leaves that residents place in leaf bins each year. These are then left to decompose for one or two years at the municipal yard. The resulting leaf mold is a soil improver that makes the soil in (ornamental) gardens more airy and nutrient-rich.
The municipality of Staphorst is committed to circularity. This means we reuse raw materials as much as possible within our own municipality. This leaf mold initiative is a great example of that.”
