Spreading The Green

The new grass at McEuen Park continues to grow greener with lots of TLC from the city’s parks department. Crews this week spread 100 yards (the equivalent to about six dump truck loads) of fertilizer onto the popular park. Specifically, the parks department used “Coeur d’Green,” a by-product of the city’s wastewater utility. The compost is made from de-watered biosolids from the treatment plant that are mixed with wood chips. “Kudos to the wastewater department for their support in helping to beautify our parks,” Parks Department Superintendent Bill Greenwood said.

Question: Have you ever used Coeur d’Alene-produced Coeur d’Green compost?
