24.01.2022 Abracadabra! 18 days and a few turns. This batch of food waste and spoiled hay is destined for our lucky worms! Notice how the size stays very similar from start to finish! With the right combination of nitrogen and carbon materials and turning times.... The mass of the pile decreases very little meaning less material is wasted in the process ! Note this is not finished compost, Would require 2 weeks to cure before applying to your garden.

21.01.2022 We’ve not been too crash hot at social media lately, so we decided to hire the top dog to start making some noise!

19.01.2022 Putting our excess compost through a sieve (converted cement mixer) to hopefully sell! The bulky mulch and not fully degraded materials will be reused in the next compost batches and it’s hopefully into keen gardeners hands with the fine compost :)

14.01.2022 Plastic!! Here in the Philippines, according to the World Wildlife fund (WWF) only about 10% of waste is treated or disposed of in an environmentally sound manner. This so, the Philippines is the 3rd largest contributor to plastic in our oceans!! That’s a big problem. There is however a local movement creating a solution to this. ... Ecobricks. Ecobrick is a grassroots, people power and non-capital driven solution to the plastic waste. The method is simple; plastic is collected or saved from becoming a pollution (small or chopped up plastic), it is then stuffed tightly into plastic bottles the result is an Ecobrick. This is then used to make fences concrete blocks, seats and on low income housing projects as walls. To see how it all works we caught up with The Circle, who help local communities transition to zero waste in the Philippines along with educating and promoting their Ecobricks. Together, we helped clean up 500 meters of beach, mainly from plastic, which was then repurposed as Ecobricks I think for us back in Perth the practicality of something like this, would be for raised gardens beds, seats and beyond this is to actually see how much plastic you generate at home! Like most waste, the best way to reduce your footprint is to avoid purchasing plastic as much as possible. Check out Ecobricks website for more info!! https://www.ecobricks.org/movement/

12.01.2022 If it grows, then it goes! Composting is how we manage bulk of our recovered food waste. The process we apply is the Berkeley method. This method is the quickest scientific method of making compost within 14-18 days.... It gets up to 70 degrees (hot enough to compost bioplastic/kill pathogens and seeds). Can be hard for the average gardener as it requires at least 3 cubic meters of space, A cube of organic material in the right quantity And turning at calculated intervals! See more

07.01.2022 A note to all of our valued customers! Stay safe and look after yourselves!

06.01.2022 Thanks to the connections made with SEED Nation, we found ourselves bound for the mountains with bags full of our collected fruit seeds! Though the pictures of the mountains may seem beautiful they are unfortunately very degraded environments. The large scale harvest of these once forested lands for charcoal and livestock grazing has left the land degraded causing a downward spiral of environmental degradation and poverty. SEED Nation is however changing this with the gradu...al planting and educating of their food forest system. Degraded land is slowly being replaced with multistory productive tree species, supplying increased amount of biodiversity, food, income, timber (charcoal) and reforesting the landscape. Yangil nursery is run by the local indigenous tribe the Aeta, once hunter and gathers are turning into gardeners to help there culture and the environment. We managed to sow nearly 1000 fruit tree seeds and some local species whilst also planted some already established seedlings such as Leucaena, a fast growing pioneer species which can be sustainably harvested year after year for charcoal whilst fertilizing the plants around it with nitrogen it captures from the air! After planting and a 6km walk we then went to their village to share stories and songs and to see the future the Aeta are trying to make for themselves by utilising the newly created food forests, honey, nuts, fruits, timber and skillfully crafted environmental cutlery, straws, bowls and cups! Such a rewarding effort is being undertaken that it attracts repetitive volunteers year after year, such as Ashan and Kieran from India, seen helping along side us! Our environment and our economic health are directly connected whether we see the connection straight away or not until the not to distant future (cough, cough, climate change). Next up on the journey we’re tackling the colossal problem of plastic waste!!! Thanks for following

03.01.2022 We’re pretty pleased to be supporting Burns Beach Twilight Markets in collecting all organic waste! If it’s in your local area, come down and enjoy some delicious local food!

01.01.2022 These bays have been set up to pre compost food and market waste for our worms. The precomposting helps to pasteurize food waste and break down all the bioplastics. Mulch is evenly layered and then mixed for the next 30 days. Then we feed the pre compost to our worms .
