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!

The sensory garden group at Kensington Neighborhood Centre say: “Thanks Kensington Compost Hub for the compost that's getting our lettuce seedlings off to a good start.”

Our absolute pleasure to support local gardeners and growers!

Delivering finished community compost to our “Stationeers” - volunteers who plant and maintain green spaces around Kensington Station for the benefit of everyone in the neighbourhood. Great to collaborate with such a welcoming and inclusive group of people working hard to improve our common spaces

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!

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!

Businesses drop off large wheelie bins of industrial material like untreated wood shavings or coffee chaff and take empty bins to refill and reuse. This keeps dry materials stable while stored outdoors.

We combine these into smaller wheelie bins with leaf litter, wood mulch and other materials the community contributes like shredded paper. These mixed browns live at each compost station to be swapped out once empty.
