Composting for a Bumper Crop (Tāhuna/Queenstown)

Dreaming of a lush and bountiful vegetable garden? All you need is healthy soil. And how you get that is by starting your own compost! Not as glamorous as growing veggies, but so essential! Plus, it’s a solution to your kitchen scraps, therefore playing your part in the race to zero waste. Find out how to reduce waste and feed your soil at Dr Compost’s free composting workshop.

Dr Compost's top tips come from 20+ years of growing and composting in our harsh climate. In this free workshop he’ll share his knowledge about three easy composting methods - traditional backyard composting (hot and cold), Bokashi bins and worm farms. 

You’ll discover which method will suit you best and get all the know-how to turn your food and garden waste into nutrients to feed your plants and soil. 

The Dr Compost home-composting project is funded by Queenstown Lakes District Council and delivered by Wastebusters to reduce organic waste in landfill.
