Compost pod

The Compost Pod met for the first time on Saturday 28th April 2009 at the garden.

The Pod members discussed establishing the composting program taking a “precautionary” approach, deciding to make compost heaps at various point around the site to facilitate making garden beds in a couple of months time.

They have identified a “gathering point” and will be on site every Wednesday and Saturday from 12 – 1pm to collect donations of compost materials to be delivered ONLY ON THOSE DAYS AT THAT TIME.

They are accepting small to medium sized amounts of : grass clippings, food scraps, paper, cardboard, animal and chook manure.
