#DYK that adding compost after a long, hot summer enriches the soil and keeps it healthy? It can also save you precious time in case of a prolonged winter.
Here's a step-by-step guide to putting your garden to bed each fall:
* Start by removing any dead plants 🍂 or annuals (plants that don't come back yearly).
* Pollinator/native gardens can be left alone and cleared out the following season if your space permits. These overwintering plants provide a lot of habitat for little critters!
* Add a 2" top dressing of compost to your growing space
* You can additionally cover with straw, leaf mulch, 🍁 🍃or plant a cover crop

DYK cigarette butts are mainly composed of microplastics and are the most significant contributors to plastic waste? According to the WHO, every year, 4.5 trillion cigarette butts pollute our oceans, rivers, city sidewalks, parks, soil, and beaches.
One neighborhood in Philadelphia is doing something to tackle these little menaces. The @fishtownneigbours association installed a receptacle from @terracycle that can hold hundreds of cigarette butts before being shipped to a Terracycle facility to process and recycle. Find the container outside @cedarpointphl.
Where have you spotted cigarette collectors? Should cigarette companies be held accountable for their waste? Sound off below ⬇️

Power to the pebble!🪨✌️ We LOVE to see the community come together for a cause, continue reading for the story of Fishtown's favorite roundabout.
Rouge Fishtown neighbors planted a pollinator-friendly garden and decorated it with rocks at the roundabout where York Street, Frankford Ave, and Trenton Ave meet. The stunt did not go down well with Philadelphia Streets Dept, and they planned to remove the rocks, citing safety concerns. After some back and forth with the community members and neighbors in Fishtown and many emails to the streets dept, the roundabout garden has been granted the city's permission to live.
How are your neighbors caring for the community? Tell us ⬇️
