Composting for Beginners with Waste Is My Resource

Robyn has worked as a secondary teacher for over 20 years, then as a Waste Education Officer for a Regional Council, delivering a message of waste minimisation to local communities and school children, She now runs her own business, Waste Is My Resource.Robyn's concern for waste has been a lifetime passion that started in her childhood in the country where very little was wasted due to isolation and lack of money. Her parents showed her how to re use and build using recycled materials, along with how to grow organic food, which she continues on her property at Serpentine.Robyn has a wonderful knack of making things simple, using what you have at hand, and great tips for troubleshooting on our journeys to become waste savvy.

Waste Is My Resource

A look at common methods of home composting and how to get started

Did you know that approximately 50 percent of your general waste bin is organic waste and it could be composted on site, avoiding energy loss from transport and emission of dangerous greenhouse gases at landfill facilities?

Did you also know that plants and the microbes, that live and breed in compost, have a symbiotic relationship? The plants provide sugars to the microbes through their roots and the microbes provide mineral nutrients in a soluble form that plant roots can absorb. It is fascinating what is happening under our feet.

All that food waste and other organics is far too valuable for our soil to waste it by throwing it away.

You can ditch the fertilsers, save your pocket and do your garden a favour by making compost.

Join Robyn Brown for a Webinar to learn about composting. She will will show you various forms of composting available for home gardeners with examples from her own garden.. There will also will be a video demonstration with explanations of how to use a compost bin, rotating composter, worm tubes. worm farms, pet composting and bokashi composting (ideal for small units).

Time will be allowed for questions at the end of the presentation.
