Troubleshooting your Compost!

Whangārei May “Green Drinks” was a wonderful deep dive into making the perfect compost!

Ecosolutions compost ‘gurus’ – Lucretia and Judy – encouraged everyone to ask questions making the evening a highly interactive and fruitful event!

The importance of a diversity of ingredients in your compost bin / pile and the layering of the greens and browns makes for a deliciously tasty mixture loved by soil flauna and fauna. Practising this is vital for successful compost – the right balance of ingredients means a good feed for your soil, just as they do for a perfect cake!

Judy touched on the importance of green manures for keeping your soil covered and the effective use of a bokashi system.

Ecosolutions have a selection of compost systems and their accessories available for sale. Eg compost bins; worm farms; in-ground worm farms; bokashi systems; kitchen compost caddys and compost aerators.
