You plant them. The city of Roseville offers a similar program in spring and fall through the efforts of Roseville Electric and the Roseville Urban Forest Foundation. The next community meeting is Sept. 4. The classes run two hours and cover such topics as drip irrigation systems, low-voltage lawn lighting and ceramic tile. Topics and schedules are posted at the stores.

You must pre-register in person. Instead of depositing lawn clippings, trimmings and leaves curbside or in the trash, they can be transformed into a nutrient-rich soil amendment that acts as both fertilizer and soil conditioner. The bins hold a cubic yard of compost. Mike Root, City of Sacramento waste reduction coordinator, says diligent composting practices will yield about four batches per year, although most people can figure on two to three. If people aren't generating it, we're not collecting it, which saves the city money.
