III. Grounds Update – Victor Garcia – Head of Grounds
Currently using organic fertilizers on part of campus – mainly the quad
Goal is to increase the area until they are using organic fertilizers over entire campus within 2 years
Initial cost is higher, but by the time you have used it for 3 year, you need less fertilizer so the cost is less
Benefit is a decreased dependence on fossil fuels, healthier plants
