A visit to Texas Pure
March 8, 2011
Texas Pure takes leaf bags, clippings, fallen trees and shrubs... and turns them into a variety of compost and mulch products.

Funded by grants initially, it is now one of the largest operations in Texas and it is only two years away from seeing significant profits.
