Home composting for beginners workshop Sunday 4 November 2018 10am – noon

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

Making compost is about disposing of the inputs (garden and kitchen waste) and using the valuable output (compost). Ideally both.

I continue to refine my compost making for home gardeners. The trick seems to be to have three compost heaps. I favour the round black compost bins for a number of reasons. If you want to know why I think this works you’ll need to come to the workshop.

Although these workshops are free thanks to sponsorship from Hastings District Council, please register via Eventfinda to secure your place, but only if you are definitely going to attend. Numbers are limited, no door sales.

Held at The Environment Centre Hawke’s Bay, 1004 Karamu Road, Hastings.

This workshop covers:

  • Why compost?
  • Siting your compost
  • What to compost and what to expect from your compost
  • Pest control (animal and plants)
  •  Why three bins?

Practical compost workshop – includes comprehensive notes to take away.
