Louisville Zoo’s fall mulch and compost sale: Sept. 22 and 29

You can purchase rich compost and quality hardwood bark mulch in bulk quantities at the Louisville Zoo from 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on Saturdays Sept. 22 and 29.

Sales will take place in the lot by the Oasis Tent located at the Zoo’s second maintenance gate (from the Watterson Expressway, take Poplar Level Road then turn right on Trevilian Way; make a right on Illinois Ave. and enter the Zoo’s second maintenance gate on the left). Please note this is a new location for the sale. Upon entering, you will pay the cashier then collect your mulch or compost.

Mulch:       $22.50 per load for small pick-up truck  
                         $35.00 per load for medium to full size pick-up truck

Compost  $30 per bobcat scoop 

Compost improves the aeration of the soil, increases root penetration and water retention, which reduces crusting of the soil surface. Whereas mulch helps reduce weeds and retains moisture. Proof of the effectiveness of these two products is evident from the healthy plants around the Zoo.
