Organic waste in landfills generates huge amounts of methane gas which is a potent greenhouse gas. By composting our food waste and other organics, methane emissions are significantly reduced. In Newcastle alone, about 30% of the waste in our red-lidded bins is organic and food waste. On average we throw away an average of 135kg of food waste each year and home composting is one way we can combat this.
Thanks to Newcastle Council and Compost Revolution, locals are being offered a 75% discount off (plus free shipping) on a range of composting, worm farming and bokashi fermenting products.

So get amongst it and get dirty!

Compost your food scraps, and turn food waste into green space. Nurture your garden and your family by growing your own food. It all starts with healthy soil! Join the revolution at www.compostrevolution.com.au

Some before and after shots from this week’s job.

Old plant were taken out and new borders, soil and plants were added to the front and the side of the house. To finish the garden, I topped the new garden beds off with forest mulch.
