Zero Waste...turning organic waste into soil!!!

Anna (Eco Solutions) came to talk to us about Zero Waste.  She informed us about the importance of looking after our soil and that it is a taonga to all of us.  It is important to compost our scraps or use our worm farms, instead of throwing organic waste in the rubbish. Composting is important because organic waste is changed into a rich soil by bacteria, worms and insects.  The secret and simple recipe for composting is: browns (for carbon) plus greens (for nitrogen) plus air plus water.  So just get out there and reduce the amount of organic waste you throw away each week by composting instead...your garden will love you for it!!!
