Hands-on Hot Composting Workshop New Lynn Part 2

At EcoMatters organic teaching garden, this hands-on composting workshop will be facilitated by Adam and organic garden co-ordinator Meg Liptrot, and offers an introduction to hot composting.

Part 1 (Friday) will focus on gathering all the materials needed for a hot compost build, while Part 2 (Saturday) will concentrate on the actual building process. Don’t worry if you can only attend one session; we will cover all material in both sessions, so feel free to join either or both!

Hot-composting aims to decompose your garden waste and food scraps with minimal loss of nutrients whilst stimulating beneficial micro-organisms. When done right a hot-compost heap naturally builds up temperatures of around 60-70 degrees which will kill off pathogens and weed seeds. A well-made compost boosts the health and life in your garden soil, and this helps to grow stronger and healthier plants.

What to wear: Clothes for gardening and sturdy, closed-toe shoes with grip (eg. sneakers or gumboots), gloves. Bring: a water bottle, raincoat.

Let’s get your compost cooking!
