Be part of the Compost Revolution

Did you know that 4.45 million tonnes of food is thrown out across Australia per year making food the most wasted commodity in Australian households?

Much of this food waste is eadible and could be avoided, spend a few minutes to watch this informative video to illustrate the point.

But what of the unavoidable food waste such as vegetable peelings and egg shells? Composting and worm farming will transform these vauable items to soil. The humble worm farm and compost bin will not only add soil to the garden but

  • supply nutrients
  • increase moisture retention,
  • add helpful bacteria
  • improve soil structure allowing pathways for air and water.
  • redcue erosion as the humus helps soil particles to hold tightly together
  • supress soil bourne diseases by microorganismas commonly associated with compost
  • Castings from worms placed in pot plants or compost on the garden will not generate excess methane gas (a green house gas) as nature based systems are oxygenated.

These are some of the wonderful natural services provided just through the simple art of composting and worm farming.

Mosman Council has become part of the Compost Revolution, an online service to assist our residents with composting and worm farming activities.

You may be eligible for a free compost mixer or box of worm blankets so be quick while stocks last.
