I have a working worm farm and I have just acquired a compost bin ($5.00 on Gumtree, bargain) and I am setting it up this weekend.

I have a working worm farm and I have just acquired a compost bin ($5.00 on Gumtree, bargain) and I am setting it up this weekend. I don't have a lot of open ground, only one very small veggie garden, I am removing a few plants to slot the compost bin in, I think I will channel my focus into making magnificent compost rather than having a go at growing any more veggies. I don't have a lot of luck growing veggies they always seem to get attacked by pests and disease. I know deep down it is the poor quality of my soil and also the position of the liitle garden bed behind the influx of pests and disease in my garden. I always keep dreaming of what my next garden will be like and I can't wait. Have a wonderful weekend.

We started composting with two Bokashi Bins out on our back verandah, then moved on to two tumblers and a worm farm. Worm farms are fantastic and we've never had any problems with ours. This takes care of our fruit and vegie scraps. None of our scraps go to landfill now so we've really reduced what is in our bin each week. With meat scraps, we have our dog who very happily takes care of these! While we don't drink coffee, our local cafe sells lots of it and I approached them recently and they were really happy to save their coffee grounds for me. I collect these weekly and add them to my compost, sprinkle them in our worm farm and onto the soil. I even noticed little bags of coffee grounds at a local library recently (with a little cafe and community garden attached) that people can take if they wish. I learnt about coffee grounds at the Intro to Permaculture course I did with you at Northey St a while ago. Sometimes, I think people don't know what to do with some waste products…the people at the cafe were amazed that they could be used for the garden! Meg:)
