It is with great disappointment that we have found it necessary to
cancel the Annual Bring the Heat Chili Cook-Off, which we had hoped
could be held on Saturday, June 13th. But given the uncertainty of the current
climate and with the risk of having to cancel it at the last minute, we decided to
do it now. We want everyone to be safe and stay healthy.
That being said, the 50/50 Raffle that is drawn during the cook-off
will still be held. The winners will be drawn Saturday, June 13, 2020,
and notified by phone.
We appreciate and thank this wonderful community for your past
patronage to our event, as well as all of the area businesses that made
donations or sponsorships. We look forward to better times ahead and
to our 2021 Cook-off. – the North Hunterdon Newcomers Club and

Grow your garden bigger and better With a little "Kelp"
from your friends at MGC!
At Mendham Garden Center, we find that more and more people are
amending their garden soil with composted materials. Adding compost
provides many benefits. But, if over applied, compost has the potential to
cause an imbalance in soil nutrients. Composts are typically high in certain
nutrients which have the potential to limit availability of other nutrients.
Micronutrients, although utilized in relatively small quantities, are important in
garden production. These micronutrients are not typically supplied in adequate
amounts by seemingly "complete" traditional or organic fertilizer. After a few
years of adding compost, a reduction in garden production is many times
observed. Lack of micronutrient availability in an otherwise fertile situation
may be the cause. Application of any fertilizer that includes potassium and
phosphorous has the potential to further increase an imbalance in available
macro and micro nutrients.
Although soil testing is the only sure way of determining nutrient
availability, the application of Kelp Meal (derived from sea kelp) can be the
missing link in an effective organic or traditional fertility program. Tilling in
Kelp Meal at the start of the season, coupled with side dressing plants again mid-
season, supplies many of the micronutrients required by plants without causing
any significant impact on availability of other nutrients. We're conveniently
located on Route 31N, near the Old Allerton Road intersection. Find out more
