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

If you’ve been having problems with your compost this workshop is for you. Learn how to dispose of your kitchen and garden waste more quickly and produce compost more efficiently. Trouble shoot common problems and watch a compost heap being made. Bring sun hat / rainwear / warm clothing for the conditions as we’ll be outside some of the time. Wear flat, covered shoes. Please arrive at the centre 15 minutes before the start to allow yourself time to park and get settled in.

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. For more information, contact Rachel Knight at rachel@thekitchengarden.co.nz. This event is part of Sustainable Backyards ‘bite-size’ programme.

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?

Meet Rachel

I'm an enthusiastic gardener who loves eating things I've grown. Initally I grew and sold boxes of homegrown produce. When I couldn't satisfy the demand, I started teaching my customers how to grow their own. I teach, write, sew and cook. I'm also catching up on learning to play piano. More...
