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!

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

A beautiful thing about hyperlocal compost processing is the opportunity for hyper low-emission transport options.

Our current compost input collection vehicle of choice distributes hundreds of litres of coffee grounds every week, moves nutrients across the neighbourhood compost network as needed.

All powered by bioenergetic sources (how much can depend on how many cups of coffee were consumed)

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
