All About Composting

Saturday, February 25, 2023
by Eliot Rifkin

Do you know how to compost properly or even what it is? Do you have any idea of how long it takes to create rich soil or how to contribute to a community compost farm? Joining 4zzz's Eliot Rifkin is Doreen Jachmann from Bloomfieldʻs Farm, Jimboomba  to discuss all things composting.

For a deep dive...

hereʻs the Bloomfieldʻs Farm facebook page and email. Hereʻs how to get hands-on with your local Community Composting Hubs in Brisbane, get $70 rebates on composting bins/worm farms and signup for the free Master Composter program.

An article about Bloomfieldʻs Farm and their Annual Sustainable Cook-off event. The sharewaste  smartphone appto connect composters with organic waste. Compost Connect has useful information creating a circular economy. International Composting Awareness Week has comprehensive information about why and how to compost. A video demonstrating a simplified way to compost and another on setting up a generic cone-shaped compost bin by ABC Gardening Australia's Costa Georgiadis.

...and finally connect with Permaculture Connect on facebook which is a community resilience builder that run monthly free events such as visiting properties that have different permaculture design implementation phases, working bee gatherings, crop swaps and more.
