How Do I Compost?

Getting your compost mix right can be hard, but here’s where we can help.

Free Composting Workshops

Throughout the year, the Gardens have partnered with the Cassowary Coast Regional Council to provide a free Composting Workshop at each month’s Community Picnic.

During these workshops, you’ll learn the following:

  • All about what you can and can’t put in your compost-bin
  • The right mix of ‘green’ vs. ‘brown’ materials
  • How often you should mix and monitor it
  • And everything else you need to know about making clean and (relatively) funk-free compost!

If you’re not able to attend one of our workshops, you can also watch our handy instructional video on composting.

Bernard Holden Talks Composting

Throughout the year, Council has been supporting regular composting workshops in partnership with the Johnstone River Community Garden!Thanks to Bernard for inviting us to the last composting workshop of the year, which coincided with National Recycling Week. Have a look at the video below, for some tips and tricks to reduce waste, and take your garden to the next level.DON'T FORGET: Council offers $20 cashback, when you purchase a composting bin / worm farm and bring in the receipt to any of our Customer Service Centres!#NationalRecyclingWeek#NothingToWasteInOurBackyard#LoveWhereWeLive
