The benefits of using compost in your garden are numerous. It builds good soil structure; enables soil to retain nutrients, water, and air; protects against drought; helps maintain a neutral pH, and protects plants from many diseases commonly found in the garden.
First come, first served. Two (2) buckets per household please.

COMPOST FAQ
Compost is a great way to provide natural, organic nutrients to your lawns, flower beds/pots and trees. Here are some common questions we get all the time that may help you when using compost for your yard.
How do I spread compost?
There are various ways to use your finished compost. You can sprinkle compost on top or mix it into your flower and vegetable beds, gently rake compost into tree beds, blend it with potting soil to revitalize indoor plants, or spread it on top of the soil on your lawn as a soil amendment.
Before planting seeds or seedlings, spread 2 inches of compost over the garden area, then till the compost into the soil at a depth of 6 to 8 inches. For large gardens, conserve limited amounts of compost by adding one trowel’s worth of finished compost into each planting hole.
Can you use compost instead of potting soil?
Growing plants in pure compost can cause problems with water retention and stability as well. When mixed with topsoil, compost works wonders with water, as it allows good drainage through heavy soil while it retains water in sandy soil. … So, while it may be tempting, planting in pure compost is not a good idea
When should you put compost on your garden?
Some people recommend late fall as a good time to spread compost over a garden bed, and cover it with a winter mulch, such as chopped leaves. By spring, soil organisms will have worked the compost into the soil. Others recommend spreading compost two weeks before planting time in the spring.
Does compost help plants grow?
In loose, sandy soil compost helps to bind these particles together and increase the soil’s ability to retain moisture and nutrients. … Compost also adds nutrients to your soil. Compost contains a variety of the basic nutrients that plants require for healthy growth.
Can I use compost for my lawn?
You can use compost to top-dress both new and existing lawns. On a seeded lawn: After sowing lawn grass seeds, apply a thin layer — about 1/4-inch — of compost as top-dressing to help maintain consistent soil moisture while seeds germinate and tender grass seedlings get established.
Is compost good for trees?
Organic mulch, such as that derived from compost, has all the usual benefits in addition to supplying nutrients to the soil as it decomposes. On beds of permanent plants, trees, hedges, and fruit, an annual mulch of compost will keep your soil in good health and your plants in top condition.
Hopefully these answers will help with your beautiful yard this growing season. Have fun!

224 Sandstone Valley Scouts No Contact Bottle Drive
2022-01-08 10:00 - 13:00 | Alberta
SATURDAY JANUARY 8th, 2022
Activities and programming for the 224 Sandstone Scout Group comes from fundraising activities. We support a program for Beavers (5-7), Cubs (8-10), Scouts (11-14) and Venturers (15-17). Our program is co-ed. It is all run by volunteers at the group level. We also help the community association where we can and other volunteer opportunities. Our program lets them learn about helping others, respecting nature, being outdoors, learning new skills and leadership. It gets the youth away from their screens and lets them socialize safely.

Please leave bottles in bags on your doorstep if you receive a door hanger (with the door hanger taped to it to show it is for the Scouts) on January 8, 2022 and our Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and Vent will pick up. For those areas not on our routes we will have drop off locations at Sandstone Park and between the two schools. Also there will be a location at MacEwan Glen Park near the tennis courts. Please consider supporting the 224 Sandstone Scout Group.

Bike to School Day
2019-06-04 08:00 - 17:00 | Alberta
Bike to School Day on Tuesday, June 4th is an ongoing, growing campaign that was initiated a number of years ago and with the coming of 2019’s Bike to School day, has spread to most Calgary area schools and is expected to have thousands of kids riding their bikes to school!
At Bike to School Day, getting kids active and engaged with the outdoors, their bikes, and each other is a huge goal of ours. With the digital world becoming more and more interlaced with our world, it is important to remember the small initiatives that can keep you healthy and grounded. Bike to school day is a project that encourages students and their parents to take part in and build a healthy lifestyle while also showing them that it is fun and beneficial to do so.

BIKE TO SCHOOL DAY – Sven Stuwe
In 2013, I started bike riding again after a 21 year hiatus. My motivation was for myself but also to be in good shape to keep up with our four year old growing son. In September of that year, with the help and encouragement from another parent and her daughter, my son got onto a trail-a-bike connected to my bike and we started biking to and from his school. Doing that was terri?c, but I noticed that not very many school kids were riding their bikes to school when weather permitted. It left me wondering why.
In the spring of 2014, I stumbled upon a Twitter post that talked about Bike to School Day being put together by a junior high school teacher by the name of Kyle Stewart because he noticed that kids weren’t active enough in their lives. That ?rst Bike to School Day, instead of only a dozen or so kids biking, there were 70 kids that rode to school. I was thrilled!The next year we hit 200 kids biking to school. The third year with the community association involved, it bumped up to 250+ kids biking. This year the goal is to have more than half of the 700 students ride their bikes to school.
The after e?ects of Bike to School Day over the years has seen a natural increase of kids biking to school. Some kids ride in small groups, others with their parents on their bikes. Seeing that brings back memories of my childhood bike riding days but, even more so, it reminds me of the sense of freedom it gave me.
Over the last six years, my son and I have ridden to and from his school together. It was, and still is, wonderful time together to talk, see neighbors, discover our community and nature, and get some exercise. We’ve enjoyed ourselves immensely and we have some incredible memories together. On any busy work day, it has been these moments of cycling with my son that I have cherished immensely.
So, I’d like to encourage all of you, with school aged children this Bike to School Day on June 4th, to step away from your cars for a moment, climb onto a bike and ride with your kids to school. Besides the health bene?ts & the reduced vehicle tra?c that will improve our kids safety, it makes getting to school fun. It’s a moment of family time, adventure, discovery, connecting the community and the world around us. Let’s make riding a bike a wonderful option for our kids, and for those parents that can, an enjoyable moment of family time.
