We want to make sure you are growing in clean safe soil! The Clean Soil Bank (CSB) is a program established by the NYC Mayor’s Office of Environmental Remediation (OER) where they take verified *clean* sub-soils (sediments left by glaciers ~20,000 years ago / mostly sand) from construction sites and make them available for use. We have mixed these sands with compost produced by DSNY and the Lower East Side Ecology Center. These new “soil mixtures” will be available for pick up at:
