We run compost workshops across Kaipara District

We deliver fun, interactive Compost Workshops across Kaipara.

In our composting workshops, you will discover how to turn your food scraps and garden waste into rich, living soil that feeds your garden and reduces your household waste. This is a great workshop if you’re new to composting or want to deepen your knowledge – it is an opportunity to build practical skills for a more sustainable lifestyle.

In our workshops we cover:

  • Basic composting principles and soil health
  • Setting up your compost at home
  • What is the best system for you
  • Troubleshooting and do’s/dont’s
  • Other food scrap diversion systems such as worm farms & Bokashi and DIY systems

My household is going great. There are piles of different things everywhere lol. Soft plastics, Hard plastics, paper, glass, green waste, kitchen waste etc. . . . everyone in the house is now onboard and we are recycling more. Thanks to you, I am so much more conscious about what goes into landfill which is even more important with the potential Dome Valley landfill.
