A brief description of the composting or mulching program:
HSU gardeners compost and mulch most greenwaste that cannot regenerate itself via tubers, rhizomes, catkins, etc. (i.e. - ivy, willow, etc.). Grass clippings are spread over sloped areas and are used to assist with areas that are potential erosion control problems in non-landscaped areas of campus. Grass clippings are also used for creating berms around new shrub plantings to assist in establishment. Mulching is an on-going and necessary practice on the HSU campus for weed control, since the use of chemical controls is kept at an absolute minimum.
