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!

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!

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.

Sunday is plant and seedlings sales day at #KensingtonTownHallCompostHub from 11am

Today we have succulents, canna lilies, and seasonal veggie seedlings including beetroot, kohlrabi, and broad beans.

All funds raised go to keeping the compost hub operating!

Stunning show underway from one of the prolific and virtually indestructible Canna Lilies we raise from rhizome division on pure compost at #KensingtonTownHallCompost

One of our composters brought in home-grown white chockos for the compost volunteers. Spectacular looking fruit from a very vigorous plant. Now to decide whether to eat these ones, or start them for planting out this Spring (the compost hub fenceline gets a good 10-hours sun in Summer, so it’s a perfect location). Great to be part of a gifting and sharing economy

Hoop House Number One now up and running thanks to our hardworking #KensingtonTownHallCompost volunteers. Made entirely from the surplus urban and industrial materials thrown up and thrown away by the population of #Melbourne. Our latest cool season seedlings have moved into their new home

A beautiful evening of community sharing, barbecue, music, tea and snacks, African drumming lessons, and hobby horsing at Ballam Ballam Community Garden and Compost Hub in Carlton North

Checking on moisture levels, temperature, biological activity (microbial and invertebrate) and general decomposition progress at #KensingtonTownHallCompost. Lovely to be creating a communal #soil resource on the first day International Compost Awareness Week 2024!
