Our regular Sunday morning drop-in session turned into a full-on working bee this morning! Tidied up some old projects, screened some finished compost, and filled up all the buckets for community composters to take for the own gardens. Lots of good chats, and new friends made (both two and four legged). #communityComposting

We were lucky enough to be visited by entomologist Dr Ian Smith today. An enthusiastic team of our local composters fanned out across the compost hub to discover and document the amazing diversity of insect life that helps us reduce food waste and make amazing compost for the community. We identified different critters and examined them closeup under microscopes to find out more about the roles they play in the composting process.

# ClimateChange #BenefitsOfComposting #Bushfires #YIMBY #CommunityResilience #What'sOn #CommunityComposting The end of summer is upon us, although you would hardly know it from the temperatures! This summer saw records tumble across Australia, with the CSIRO reporting that January brought the hottest temperatures ever recorded in numerous areas - some exceeding 49°C. Image courtesy of ABC 27/1/26 Tragically, extreme heat also fuelled devastating bushfires across Victoria.

It’s always a good day to compost food scraps locally and if you can look fabulous doing that, why wouldn’t you?

Fantastic to run into Danny (founder of the Peels app) turning over a batch at 78 Clifford today. Peels connects people who have food scraps with people who compost. It’s replacement for ShareWaste, and a brilliant way to help more people compost. Available worldwide at: https://www.peels.app

Not only a talented web dev guy, Danny is also a hard working composter! We had a great morning chatting and turning food scraps into growing resources for our neighbours.

Lovely day for winter gardening: we took an electric barrow load of community compost for a ride along the river over to support our neighbours at Crossroads Community Garden in Footscray.

They immediately put it to good use!
