We are pretty nerdy about creating the most diverse living compost possible.
Our composting methods are temperature monitored, fully aerobic and produce minimal emissions.
We manage our composting process with utmost care and attention, supporting the life within.
Once the process is finished we either sell the compost to help keep us sustainable or donate it to our volunteers, community gardens or schools.
If you’d like to see our process in action, come down to one of our weekly Compost Club events at the Brook Waimarāma Community Gardens.
If you are an Organisation and would like to benefit from our compost, please get in touch.
