Our third weekly harvest of broad beans and these plants are still going strong. We planted out 3 #biofilta foodwall tubs and they are super productive!

Busy day yesterday at our monthly Wildlife Gardening Working Bee - mulching and planting and coffee in the Spring sunshine.

We have put out a variety of indigenous habitat plants: grasses, ground covers, and climbing plants along the fence line. Great work and massive thanks to our community volunteers for working to make a difference, and to create habitat for biodiversity in our urban environment!

A lovely mild Winter’s morning to enjoy #CoffeeAndCompost. Nice change after the cold rain and gusty wind… thankfully nothing appears to have blown away yesterday! We have finished #compost batches to screen, and new batches to turn.

Watching the piles of wood mulch quietly steaming at dawn. What a beautiful day to conserve some local nutrients and make a stack-ton of compost as a community…

Have an amazing week everyone!

Great work by our volunteer wildlife gardeners revegetating a monoculture lawn.

We planted Knobby Club-rush (Ficinia nodosa), Blue Tussock-grass (Poa poiformis), Magenta Stork's-bill (Pelargonium rodneyanum) and Small-leaved Clematis (Clematis microphylla).

We salvaged a fence being demolished nearby to send to landfill. The project is converting this to a vermin-proof hot composting station to expand capacity for processing organics.

Right now, carefully de-nailing by hand to make the materials safe to handle and store at our open-access compost hub, and putting steel aside for recycling.

City of Melbourne have a fleet of trucks and chippers providing maintenance and removals across the “urban forest” trees on public land. We have just taken delivery of freshly mulched wood to support community composting across all the sites we assist with. This will be left out to weather and distributed around the neighbourhood as needed.
